Abstract

The disclosure discloses a snow remover. The snow remover may include a working portion configured to throw snow from a ground, a plurality of direction changing members configured to change a direction for throwing the snow, and an adjuster. The adjuster may comprise a plurality of gears. The plurality of gears may be meshed with each other and configured to adjust an orientation of the plurality of direction changing members by rotating. In addition, the disclosure discloses an attachment. The attachment may be configured to be used with the snow remover.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A snow remover, comprising:
 a working portion configured to throw snow off the ground;   a plurality of direction changing members configured to change a direction for throwing the snow; and   an adjuster,   wherein the adjuster comprises a plurality of gears, and   the plurality of gears is meshed with each other and configured to adjust an orientation of the plurality of direction changing members by rotating.   
     
     
         2 . The snow remover according to  claim 1 , wherein the adjuster further comprises a handle configured to be operated by a user for rotating the plurality of gears. 
     
     
         3 . The snow remover according to  claim 2 , wherein the adjuster comprises:
 a positioning groove; and   a positioning projection configured to be switched by operation of the handle between a reception state of being received in the positioning groove and a non-reception state of not being received in the positioning groove,   wherein, when the positioning projection is in the non-reception state, each gear of the plurality of gears is capable of rotating, and when the positioning projection is in the reception state, each gear of the plurality of gears is not capable of rotating.   
     
     
         4 . The snow remover according to  claim 3 , wherein when the positioning projection moves in a first direction by the operation of the handle, the positioning projection is switched from the reception state to the non-reception state,
 wherein at least one of the plurality of gears comprises a gear engaging portion, and   the adjuster further comprises an engaged portion configured to be slidable in the first direction with respect to the gear engaging portion integrally with the positioning projection, wherein when the positioning projection is in the reception state, the gear engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion, and when the positioning projection is in the non-reception state, the gear engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion.   
     
     
         5 . The snow remover according to  claim 4 , wherein each of the plurality of direction changing members comprises an engaging portion configured to be engaged with the gear engaging portion. 
     
     
         6 . The snow remover according to  claim 3 , wherein when the handle is pulled toward the user, the positioning projection is switched from the reception state to the non-reception state. 
     
     
         7 . The snow remover according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of gears comprises a plurality of first gears,
 each of the plurality of first gears is fixed to a corresponding one of the plurality of direction changing members, and   shapes of the plurality of first gears are the same as each other.   
     
     
         8 . The snow remover according to  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of gears comprises a second gear meshed with the two adjacent first gears, and
 a shape of the second gear is the same as the shapes of the plurality of first gears.   
     
     
         9 . The snow remover according to  claim 7 , wherein rotational centers of the plurality of first gears align. 
     
     
         10 . An attachment configured to be used with a snow remover, the attachment comprising:
 a working portion configured to throw snow off ground;   a plurality of direction changing members configured to change a direction for throwing the snow; and   an adjuster,   wherein the adjuster comprises a plurality of gears, and   the plurality of gears is rotatable and is configured to adjust an orientation of the plurality of direction changing members by rotating.   
     
     
         11 . The snow remover according to  claim 5 , wherein when the handle is pulled toward the user, the positioning projection is switched from the reception state to the non-reception state,
 wherein the plurality of gears comprises a plurality of first gears,   each of the plurality of first gears is fixed to a corresponding one of the plurality of direction changing members, and   shapes of the plurality of first gears are the same as each other,   wherein the plurality of gears comprises a second gear meshed with the two adjacent first gears, and   a shape of the second gear is the same as the shapes of the plurality of first gears,   wherein rotational centers of the plurality of first gears align.
