Patent attributes
A vacuum cleaner nozzle having a housing with a downward facing opening, a brush roll rotatably mounted to the housing at the downward facing opening, and a brush roll cleaner mounted to the housing. The brush roll cleaner includes a longitudinal bar extending along a longitudinal axis of the brush and pivotally connected to the housing at a pivot axis, an edge connected the longitudinal bar at a spaced location from the pivot axis and extending along to the longitudinal axis of the brush, and an arm extending from the longitudinal bar. The arm is configured to transmit a force to rotate the brush roll cleaner from a first position in which the edge does not contact the brush roll, to a second position in which the edge contacts the brush roll to remove debris from the brush roll as the brush roll rotates.
