aperture 170 is disposed behind or rearward to (i.e., to the right inFIG. 4 ) thebrush roll housing 150. The illustratedbrush roll housing 150 is generally C-shaped in cross section (seeFIG. 4 ), and defines a curvedforward wall 180 of theaperture 170. Accordingly, the illustratedaperture 170 tapers initially in width W in a direction from above thefloor nozzle 130 toward the floor surface S. In the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 4 , theaperture 170 abuts arearward gripping area 190 so that the width W of theaperture 170 gradually increases toward the floor surface S, giving the aperture 170 a slightly flared profile in cross section. Other configurations are possible depending on the use requirements or preferences for the particularupright vacuum cleaner 100, including configurations where theaperture 170 has a substantially uniform width W in cross section. - In some embodiments, the
aperture 170 is disposed behind thebrush roll housing 150 spaced approximately 4 cm to approximately 15 cm from the forward end of thefloor nozzle 130. In other embodiments, the spacing between theaperture 170 and the forward end of thefloor nozzle 130 may assume other values. In still other embodiments, for example in a stick vacuum, theaperture 170 may be disposed behind thenozzle inlet 140 without regard to thebrush roll housing 150. In some embodiments, thefloor nozzle 130 defines a lateral dimension Lf ranging from approximately 25 cm to approximately 35 cm and theaperture 170 is positioned approximately at a center of the lateral dimension Lf. In other embodiments, the lateral dimension Lf may assume other values, and theaperture 170 may be positioned approximately at the respective center of the lateral dimension Lf. In still other embodiments, theaperture 170 may be positioned off-center relative to the lateral dimension Lf. In some embodiments, theaperture 170 when viewed from above thefloor nozzle 130 defines an area of approximately 20 cm2 or more. In further embodiments, theaperture 170 when viewed from above thefloor nozzle 130 defines an area of approximately 20 cm2 to approximately 80 cm2. In still further embodiments, theaperture 170 defines a lateral dimension La ranging from approximately 5 cm to approximately 10 cm. In other embodiments, the aperture may be dimensioned to suitably facilitate lifting and lowering the upright vacuum cleaner, as explained below. - Referring also to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , theaperture 170 is configured to allow the insertion of a hand H or fingers F of an operator to provide thegripping area 190 on thefloor nozzle 130 adjacent theaperture 170 to facilitate lifting and lowering theupright vacuum cleaner 100. In the illustrated embodiment, thegripping area 190 is disposed on thefloor nozzle 130 behind or rearward to the aperture 170 (i.e., to the right inFIG. 4 ). In some embodiments, thegripping area 190 may extend substantially parallel to thebrush roll housing 150. In other embodiments, however, thegripping area 190 may extend non-parallel (e.g., angled) to thebrush roll housing 150. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , thebrush roll housing 150 defines a brush rollhousing bottom surface 200, and thegripping area 190 defines a grippingarea bottom surface 210. The brush rollhousing bottom surface 200 is disposed adjacent the floor surface S, and the grippingarea bottom surface 210 is disposed above the brush rollhousing bottom surface 200 when thefloor nozzle 130 is in an upright position. Accordingly, the brush rollhousing bottom surface 200 and the grippingarea bottom surface 210 define a vertical gap G therebetween. In some embodiments, the gap G ranges from approximately 2 cm to approximately 4 cm to fittingly receive the operator's fingers F for lifting and lowering theupright vacuum cleaner 100. In other embodiment, the gap G may be dimensioned otherwise to fittingly receive the operator's fingers F for lifting and lowering the upright vacuum cleaner. - In operation, the operator may utilize or access the
