PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suction tool which enables the cleaning of places such as narrow areas and inaccessible depths on a chest of drawers.SOLUTION: A suction tool 7 comprises: a telescopic connection pipe part 8; an articulated part 9 having a plurality of articulations 11; and a suction head 12 connected to the articulated part 9. The articulated part 9 is structured in such a way that two articulations 11 neighboring to each other are connected on a shank and the two neighboring articulations are combined with the shank as an axis. Each of the articulation 11 has a protruding notch 33 at one end and two or more grooves 31, 32 at the other end. The notch 33 of one articulation 11 of neighboring articulations selectively fits into the two or more grooves of the other articulation 11 to thereby enable position restriction of the articulations with the angle between them varied. This allows the suction tool 7 to be bendable in a stepwise manner, thereby enabling the cleaning of inaccessible places.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】狭いところや手の届かないタンスの上の奥といった場所の掃除が可能な吸込具を提供すること。【解決手段】伸縮可能な接続管部８と、複数の回動部１１を有する関節部９と、関節部９に接続された吸込ヘッド１２とを備え、関節部９は、隣り合う２つの回動部１１が１つの軸部で接続され、１つの軸部を軸として隣り合う２つの回動部１１が組み合わさることで構成され、回動部１１は、一端に突状のノッチ３３と他端に２以上の溝部３１、３２を有し、隣り合う回動部１１の一方の回動部１１のノッチ３３が、他方の回動部１１の２以上の溝部に選択的に嵌り込むことで、回動部１１同士の角度を変えた状態で位置規制可能としたことで、多段階に折り曲げ可能で、手の届かないところの掃除ができる吸込具７を提供できる。【選択図】図６
