Patent attributes
A surface cleaning apparatus comprising a surface cleaning head, a rigid air flow conduit and a hand vacuum cleaner removably mountable to an outlet end of the rigid wand. The hand vacuum cleaner comprises a main body, a cyclone provided at the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner, an inlet passage positioned at an upper end of the cyclone and a hand vacuum cleaner electrical connector provided on the front end of the hand vacuum cleaner adjacent the inlet passage. The hand vacuum cleaner electrical connector is releasably connectable with the outlet end electrical connector of the rigid wand. When the hand vacuum cleaner is mounted to the outlet end of the rigid wand, the longitudinally extending passage axis extends in a same direction as the cyclone axis of rotation and the suction motor axis of rotation extends in the same direction as the cyclone axis of rotation.
