Mechanism for moving a wiping/raising insert of a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner
First Claim
1. An improved mechanism for moving a wiping/raising insert of a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner, the suction nozzle comprising a base plate, said mechanism for moving the insert comprising:
- an operating pedal;
a frame configured to support the insert and to bring the insert from a first working position into a second rest position, said pedal being configured to rotate about a first axis of rotation and said frame being configured to rotate about a second axis of rotation;
wherein said first axis of rotation and said second axis of rotation lie in a plane inclined at an angle ranging between 80° and
100°
with respect to a plane of the base plate, the plane of the base plate being a flat surface to be cleaned with the base plate rests on the flat surface to be cleaned; and
wherein the pedal is connected to a first rotational shaft and said first rotational shaft comprises at least one projecting tongue, and preferably a pair of projecting tongues.

Abstract
An improved mechanism for moving a wiping/raising insert of a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner is described. The suction nozzle comprises a base plate. The mechanism for moving the insert comprises an operating pedal and a frame for supporting the insert and for bringing this insert from a first working position into a second rest position. The pedal is rotatable about a first axis of rotation and the frame is rotatable about a second axis of rotation. According to the invention, the first and the second axis of rotation lie in a plane inclined at an angle α ranging between 80° and 100° with respect to a plane of the base plate.
