摘要： A tool and tool holder assembly for a vacuum cleaner or other cleaning appliance having a main body, a wand and a hose therebetween, the assembly comprising a tool holder (10) and a plurality of tools (30, 32, 34) for use with the vacuum cleaner or other cleaning appliance, the tool holder (10) comprising attachment means (12, 14) for attaching the tool holder (10) to the vacuum cleaner or other cleaning appliance and tool receiving means for receiving and retaining the tools (30, 32, 34) on the tool holder (10), characterised in that the tool receiving means comprise a cylindrical peg or socket (22) for receiving a cylindrical portion (36) of each tool (30, 32, 34) and a tongue or groove (26) formed in or on the tool holder (10), each tool (30, 32, 34) having a corresponding groove or tongue (38) which cooperates with the tool receiving means (22) in a resilient or snap-fit manner when the tool (30, 32, 34) is located in or on the respective peg or socket (22).

摘要： The invention provides cyclonic separating apparatus (50) comprising a tapering cyclone (60) having a larger end and a smaller end, a fluid inlet (66) and a fluid outlet (74) located at the larger end of the cyclone (60), the fluid outlet (74) being located coaxially with the cyclone (60), and a tangential offtake conduit (22) communicating with the fluid outlet (74), wherein the distance between the tangential offtake conduit (22) and the smaller end of the cyclone (60) increases in the downstream direction of the tangential offtake conduit (22). Preferably, the tangential offtake conduit (22) follows a substantially helical path. This reduces the turbulence created in the tangential offtake conduit (22) and allows kinetic energy of the exiting fluid to be recovered as pressure energy.
