Abstract: A vacuum-cleaner nozzle has a housing formed with a downwardly open suction mouth on a lower face of the housing and having a front mouth edge and a rear mouth edge. A suction fitting on a rear end of the housing and opening into the housing serves for drawing air in through the mouth. A floor-engaging support rearward of the rear mouth edge is vertically displaceable relative to the housing between upper and lower positions. A spring biases the support into the lower position.

Abstract: A floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner has a housing, and a base on the housing constructed for sliding in a working direction on a floor and formed with a downwardly open slot-shaped port delimited relative to the direction between a transversely extending front port edge and a transversely extending rear port edge. The base has, extending forward from the front port edge, a part-cylindrical and downwardly convex front surface with a front radius of curvature and centered on a transversely extending symmetry axis and, extending rearward from the rear port edge, a part-cylindrical and downwardly convex rear surface having a rear radius of curvature also centered on the symmetry axis. The housing is constructed for movement of air upward through the port.

Abstract: A robotic vacuum cleaner includes a driving mechanism, a fan, an electronic control, sweeping brushes and a housing with a front side extending in the transverse direction (q) and a longitudinal direction (l) perpendicular thereto. An underside of the housing has a suction opening that extends in the transverse direction (q). At least four sweeping brushes are provided, where at least two of the four sweeping brushes are disposed on each side of the suction opening such that at least one subregion of the suction opening remains free from sweeping brushes, as viewed from the front side. The at least two of the four sweeping brushes provided on each of the two sides of the suction opening are driven in an identical direction of rotation.
