A suction conduit is provided having a first end and a second end. The first end is disposed at the first end of the shaft such that a suction force is applied to a carpet. The second end is adapted for coupling to a suction motor of a carpet cleaning apparatus. The improvement consists of an articulated shaft having three sections pivotally connected. One of the pivotal connections is adjacent the first end of the shaft.
