Abstract: A vacuum cleaner brushroll/agitator assembly that sweeps carpets/rugs from two opposing directions during vacuum operation. This dual sweeping motion is accomplished by assembling smaller brushroll Sections onto a Center Axle to equal the length and size of the traditional, one-piece brushroll. Each Section rotates in the opposite direction of the adjacent Sections. The new art solves the problem of carpet fibers being constantly swept from only one (the same) side of the fibers during each repetitive-pattern vacuuming episode.
