Abstract

The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle for cleaning of surfaces such as floors, comprising a rotatable, elongated brush (5), which is provided with brush means and located close to an air inlet opening to the vacuum cleaner. The brush is rotatably driven and adapted to rotate during cleaning to brush off debris and dust from the surface or to accomplish agitation of the surface. A first end of the brush is adapted to be mounted in the vacuum cleaner nozzle by moving the brush in an axial direction, while a second end of the brush is adapted to be mounted in the vacuum cleaner nozzle by moving the brush in a lateral direction, wherein the second end of the brush is maintained in a recess (13) by means of a releasable blocking element (7). The blocking element (7) is quick releasable without any need for a tool.
