Abstract

A wand for a vacuum cleaner comprises a handle (15) and an elongate, telescopic tube assembly (16,17)extending from the handle and, in use, having a cleaning tool (18) fitted to distal end. Drive means (19) connected between the two tubes (16,17) are arranged to increase the extension of the tubes in response to the cleaning tool being urged forwardly, by the user gripping the wand by its handle and urging it forwardly, and to reduce the extension of the tubes in response to the cleaning tool being urged rearwardly.
