         4 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary rotation member is arranged to be rotated along a predetermined rotational direction that is diagonal to a rotational direction of the main rotation member. 
     
     
         5 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the wheel member are provided and the plurality of the wheel members are rotatably arranged at least one of side and lower portions of the body. 
     
     
         6 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein at least one wheel member provided in the side portion of the body is arranged oblique with respect to the side portion of the body. 
     
     
         7 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the wheel member comprises,
 a first wheel member; and   a second wheel member having a predetermined size larger than the size of the first wheel member, and   the first wheel member is rotatably arranged to the lower portion of the body and the second wheel member is rotatably arranged to the side portion of the body.   
     
     
         8 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the wheel member are provided and rotational directions of the main rotation members provided in the plurality of the wheel members are same to each other. 
     
     
         9 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the wheel member are provided and rotational directions of the main rotation members provided in the plurality of the wheel members are different from each other. 
     
     
         10 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an outermost portion of the auxiliary rotation member is extended outward further than an outermost portion of the main rotation member only to maintain contact with a floor. 
     
     
         11 . A canister type vacuum cleaner comprising:
 a suction nozzle;   a wheel member provided in the suction nozzle, the wheel member comprising:   a main rotation member rotatably provided in the suction nozzle; and   a plurality of auxiliary rotation members rotatably provided in the main rotation member.   
     
     
         12 . The canister type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the auxiliary rotation members are roller-shaped and the main rotation member comprises an accommodation part rotatably accommodating each of the auxiliary rotation members, and
 an outermost portion of the auxiliary rotation member is extended outward further than an outermost portion of the main rotation member to maintain contact with a floor.   
     
     
         13 . The upright type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 12 ,
 wherein the wheel member comprises;   a rotational shaft supporter that is rotatably coupled to the body; and   partition walls that is provided in the rotational shaft to form the accommodation part.   
     
     
         14 . The upright type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the partition wall is extended outward from a rotational shaft supporter of the first wheel member and,   an end of the partition wall is divided in two ways to disperse the load in case of contacting a floor.   
     
     
         15 . The upright type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 11 ,
 wherein main rotation member is configured to be rotated a forward or rearward direction of the body and the suction nozzle,   the auxiliary rotation member is configured to rotated toward orthogonal or diagonal direction with respect to a rotational direction of the main rotation member   
     
     
         16 . The upright type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 7 ,
 wherein the main rotation member of the first wheel member comprises;   a rotational shaft supporter that is rotatably coupled to the body; and   partition walls that is provided in the rotational shaft to form the accommodation part.   
     
     
         17 . The upright type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein the accommodation parts are provided between the partition walls to accommodate the auxiliary rotation members therein rotatably and,   the auxiliary rotation member accommodated in the accommodation part is rotatably coupled to the partition wall   
     
     
         18 . The upright type vacuum cleaner as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein the partition wall is extended outward from a rotational shaft supporter of the first wheel member and,   an end of the partition wall is divided in two ways to disperse the load in case of contacting a floor.
