1. A suction attachment for a vacuum cleaner comprising:

  • a suction nozzle;

    a coupling member for coupling the suction attachment to a suction channel of the vacuum cleaner, said coupling member being pivotable relative to the suction nozzle about a pivot axis extending perpendicularly to a main displacement direction of the suction attachment;

    a first and a second brush extending near, respectively, a front edge and a rear edge of the suction nozzle;

    an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the first and the second brush from a first position, in which the first and the second brush are in a retracted position relative to a bottom surface of the suction nozzle, into a second position, in which the first and the second brush are in a protruding position relative to said bottom surface;

    and a rolling member arranged near said pivot axis in such a position that, during operation, said rolling member is in contact with a surface to be cleaned when the first and the second brush are in said first position, and said rolling member is not in contact with the surface to be cleaned when the first and the second brush are in said second position;

    characterized in that, seen in the main displacement direction, said pivot axis is arranged between the first brush and at least a portion of the second brush.
