In a vacuum cleaner (10A) which is an example of an upright floor surface treating apparatus, a suction nozzle (13) is provided forward relative to a lower portion of a body section such that an angle of a lower surface (Su) is changed, and a handle (14) is attached to an upper portion of the body section. A steering wheel (15) which determines a movement direction (M) is provided relative to the lower portion of the body section, and the handle (14) and the steering wheel (15) are coupled together by means of a steering coupling section including a handle shaft (16), a steering wheel adjustment shaft (161) and a rotation transmission section. In this configuration, without using a complicated configuration, a direction of the suction nozzle (13) can be easily changed without moving the entire body section. |
