A vacuum cleaner with a folding bar to provide a storage configuration

摘要

A vacuum cleaner includes a folding bar to provide a storage configuration and / or facilitate use. The vacuum cleaner includes a rod having a first end connected to the vacuum unit and a second end connected to the surface cleaning head. The rod defines an air passage extending from the first end to the second end and includes a flexible air passage along at least a portion of the rod. The rod includes a plurality of segments pivotally coupled together such that the rod can be folded about 180 degrees in a forward direction until the vacuum unit is positioned close to the top of the surface cleaning head to provide a storage configuration.
