1. A vacuum cleaner nozzle, comprising:
a steering hinge arrangement between a body of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and a connector that is connectable to a unit having a handle, wherein the steering hinge arrangement comprises first and second steering hinges, wherein the first steering hinge is rotatable until a first steering angle which is a maximum angle of a rotation of the first steering hinge, wherein the second steering hinge is rotatable from the first steering angle, wherein the rotation of the first steering hinge beyond the first steering angle activates the second steering hinge and prevents the rotation of the first steering hinge, wherein a transmission ratio of the second steering hinge exceeds a transmission ratio of the first steering hinge, wherein a transmission ratio of the steering hinge arrangement increases with an increase in second steering angle of the steering hinge arrangement, and wherein the second steering angle is associated with the steering hinge arrangement.
