  FIG. 2 shows a wiper device on the driver's seat side, and the wiper devices on the driver's seat side and on the passenger seat side have the same configuration. Therefore, only the wiper device on the driver's seat side will be described below. In the description of the wiper device on the driver's seat side, the component parts are simply referred to as “wiper arm” without the “driver's seat side” attached. The suffix “a, b” is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the wiper device 20 includes a wiper arm 15 and a wiper blade 17, and the wiper arm 15 and the wiper blade 17 are rotatably mounted on each other. The wiper arm 15 includes a substantially L-shaped arm head 21 fixed to the wiper shaft 14 (see FIG. 1), a retainer 22 rotatably mounted on the arm head 21, and a proximal end side as shown in FIG. (Right side in the figure) is attached to the retainer 22 and has an arm piece 23 having a bent portion 23a formed on the tip side (left side in the figure).

  The arm piece 23 is formed into a predetermined shape by pressing a steel plate material or the like, and the base end side of the arm piece 23 is a retainer 22 made of a steel plate material having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the arm piece 23. Is attached to the retainer 22 by bending. Therefore, a step G (see FIG. 5) having a thickness dimension of the retainer 22 is formed between the retainer 22 and the arm piece 23.

  A piece cover 24 made of a resin material such as plastic is attached to the arm piece 23 so that the thickness dimension of the base end side of the piece cover 24 is the same as the thickness dimension of the step G, that is, The same dimension as the thickness dimension of the retainer 22 is set. Therefore, when the piece cover 24 is attached to the arm piece 23, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface Sa of the retainer 22 and the surface Sb of the piece cover 24 are formed on substantially the same plane, and the step G is conspicuous in appearance. It is gone. In particular, the upper surface and both side surfaces of the retainer 22 and the upper surface and both side surfaces of the piece cover 24 are preferably formed on substantially the same surface.

  The piece cover 24 is formed in a shape conforming to the shape of the arm piece, and a main body portion 24a covering the arm piece 23, and first and second legs formed integrally adjacent to the base end side of the main body portion 24a. Parts 24b, 24c and a bent cover part 24d that is integrally formed on the distal end side of the main body part 24a and covers the bent part 23a of the arm piece 23. In the bent cover portion 24d, a substantially arc-shaped slit 24e is formed along the outer peripheral surface of the bent portion 23a of the arm piece 23.

Here, the diameter dimension of the first engagement hole 25a and the diameter dimension of the first convex portion 23b are set to substantially the same diameter dimension, but the diameter dimension of the second engagement hole 25b is the second dimension. The diameter is set larger than the diameter of the convex portion 23c.

  A plurality of minute protrusions 26, 26... Are integrally formed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the second engagement hole 25b of each engagement hole 25a, 25b. The diameter dimension of a circle (not shown) formed by connecting the tops of the minute protrusions 26, 26... Is set to be smaller than the diameter dimension of the second protrusion 23c. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the second convex portion 23c is engaged with the second engagement hole 25b, the plurality of minute protrusions 26, 26... Are deformed.

  A method of attaching the piece cover 24 to the arm piece 23 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the opening O that opens between the main body 24 a of the piece cover 24 and the legs 24 b and 24 c is formed on the side surface of the arm piece 23, that is, the wiping direction of the wiper device 20 (FIG.

  Thereafter, the bent portion 23 a and the bent cover portion 24 d are aligned using a jig or the like (not shown), and in this state, the second leg portion 24 c is pressed toward the arm piece 23. At this time, the minute protrusions 26, 26,... Provided on the inner peripheral surface of the second engagement hole 25b are deformed by the entry of the second protrusion 23c into the second engagement hole 25b. The Thus, the piece cover 24 can be mounted in a state where the second protrusion 23 c is firmly engaged with the second engagement hole 25 b and is in close contact with the arm piece 23.

  As described above, the minute protrusions 26, 26,... Of the second engagement hole 25b are respectively deformed by the second convex portion 23c, thereby causing a shape error or a piece cover 24 generated when the arm piece 23 is press-formed. The shape error is absorbed. That is, the second leg portion is engaged with the first engaging hole 25a engaged with the first convex portion 23b and the bent portion 23a and the bent cover portion 24d are aligned at a predetermined position. By pressing the 24 c toward the arm piece 23, each minute projection 26, 26... Corresponds to the shape error of the arm piece 23 or piece cover 24 as shown by the arrows in FIGS.

In the main body 41, a concave groove 43 that is rotatably mounted on a rotation pin 31 (broken line in the figure) having a stopper such as serration provided at both ends of the blade holder 30 at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction. A pair of support pins 44a and 44b to which an arm support member 50 is rotatably mounted are integrally formed toward the inner side at the distal end side (left side in the figure) of the arm portions 42a and 42b. Is formed.

  Each arm portion 42a, 42b is formed such that the thickness dimension in the vertical direction in the figure gradually decreases as the distance from the groove 43 increases. Rubber contact portions 45a and 45b are formed that contact the back side of the blade rubber 60 (the chain line in the figure) when the arm mounting member 40 rotates around the moving pin 31.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, an arm side engaging protrusion 46 as a rotation restricting member is integrally formed on the main body portion 41 of the arm mounting member 40. The blade holder 30 is adapted to engage with the holder-side engagement protrusion 30a. As described above, the arm-side engagement protrusion 46 and the holder-side engagement protrusion 30a engage with each other to restrict the rotation of the arm mounting member 40 with respect to the blade holder 30 by a predetermined angle or more, that is, the wiper arm of the wiper blade 17. 15 (see FIG. 2) is restricted from turning more than a predetermined angle.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the arm support member 50 is a mounting cylinder portion that is rotatably mounted on support pins 44 a and 44 b (broken lines in the drawing) formed on the arm portions 42 a and 42 b of the arm mounting member 40. 51, a main body portion 52 in which the mounting cylinder portion 51 is integrally formed, and a support portion 53 that is integrally formed in the main body portion 52 and can be elastically deformed in the left-right direction in the drawing.

  The support portion 53 is formed to be thinner than the main body portion 52, so that the support portion 53 is elastically deformed in the left-right direction in the drawing. The support portion 53 is integrally formed with a protruding portion 54 having a lateral wall surface 54a and a front wall surface 54b. The lateral wall surface 54a of the projecting portion 54 slides with respect to the slit 24e of the piece cover 24, and the front wall surface 54b slides while partially contacting the outer peripheral surface of the bent portion 23a of the arm piece 23. ing.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the blade holder 30 is formed in a substantially hollow shape by a resin material such as plastic, and a blade rubber 60 is held inside thereof. A pair of guide projections 32 a and 32 b are integrally formed in the longitudinal direction inside the blade holder 30 so as to face each other, and each guide projection 32 a and 32 b is formed on the blade rubber 60 to the blade holder 30. It is designed to guide the installation.

  A pair of holding claws 33a and 33b projecting inward from the guide protrusions 32a and 32b are formed on the inner side of the guide protrusions 32a and 32b corresponding to the line BB in FIG. The retaining claws 33a and 33b prevent the blade rubber 60 from coming off from the blade holder 30. Each of the holding claws 33a and 33b is provided in a portion corresponding to the line BB in FIG. 2, and is also provided in a portion on the opposite side centered on the line AA. The blade rubber 60 is supported at two points by the blade holder 30.

  As shown in FIG. 10, contact protrusions 34 that contact the back side of the blade rubber 60 are integrally formed at portions corresponding to the holding claws 33a and 33b of the blade holder 30. The contact protrusion 34 is in contact with the back side of the blade rubber 60, so that excessive inclination of the blade rubber 60 with respect to the blade holder 30 during wiping is suppressed.

  A pair of covers 35 that cover the blade rubber 60 are attached to the left and right sides of the blade holder 30 in FIG. 2, and claw portions 35 a formed integrally with the covers 35 are formed inside the blade holder 30. Each of the covers 35 is prevented from being detached from the blade holder 30 by being fitted into the contact protrusions 34 respectively. As shown in FIG. 10, a steel core 35b is inserted into the claw portion 35a of the cover 35 by insert molding or the like, thereby giving the claw portion 35a flexibility and repeated elastic deformation. Improves durability.

  The blade holder 30 and each cover 35 are integrally formed with fins 36 along the longitudinal direction of the blade holder 30, and the fins 36 are adapted to travel wind when the vehicle 10 travels at a high speed. As a result, the blade rubber 60 is prevented from being lifted from the windshield 11, and the wiping performance of the wiper blade 17 is prevented from being lowered. Moreover, since the opening part O of the piece cover 24 attached to the arm piece 23 faces the fin 36 side, the opening part O of the piece cover 24 can be made inconspicuous in appearance.

  The blade rubber 60 is formed by using a material such as natural rubber or chloroprene rubber and pouring the molten material into a mold. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the blade rubber 60 has a main body 62 on which a pair of vertebra 61 as a plate spring made of steel is mounted. Each of the vertebras 61 is formed in an arc shape so as to bend with a radius of curvature smaller than the radius of curvature of the windshield 11, whereby the pressing force against the windshield 11 in the entire longitudinal direction of the blade rubber 60 is made substantially uniform. It is trying to become.

  On the lower side of the main body portion 62 of the blade rubber 60 in the figure, a body portion 63 is formed integrally with the guide projections 32a and 32b of the blade holder 30 and the holding claws 33a and 33b. A lip portion 64 that contacts the windshield 11 is integrally formed on the lower side of the body portion 63 in the drawing, and the lip portion 64 and the body portion 63 are the front of the lip portion 64 at the time of wiping. They are connected to each other by a neck portion 65 for smoothly performing an inclination operation (inversion operation) with respect to the glass 11.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the wiper blade 17 employs a so-called U-hook type mounting structure that is rotatably mounted on a substantially U-shaped bent portion 23 a. With the bent portion 23a of the arm piece 23 mounted on the main body 41 of the arm mounting member 40, the arm support member 50 is tilted toward the arm piece 23 from the state indicated by the broken line in the drawing. As a result, the projecting portion 54 of the arm support member 50 is interposed and locked in the slit 24e of the piece cover 24. Accordingly, the front wall surface 54 b of the protruding portion 54 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bent portion 23 a of the arm piece 23, and the bent portion 23 a is supported between the protruding portion 54 and the main body portion 41.

  The bent cover portion 24d of the piece cover 24 enters the gap R (see FIG. 12) of the portion of the support portion 53 of the arm support member 50 excluding the protrusion portion 54, whereby the protrusion of the support portion 53 is caused. The portions other than the portion 54 slide with respect to the bent cover portion 24d of the piece cover 24.

  In a state where the bent portion 23a is supported between the protruding portion 54 and the main body portion 41, that is, in the state shown in FIG. 11, the distal end side surface Sc of the piece cover 24 and the proximal end side surface Sd of the arm support member 50 are substantially the same surface. Formed on top. As described above, the thickness dimension of the distal end side of the piece cover 24 is set so that the distal end side surface Sc and the proximal end side surface Sd are formed on substantially the same plane. Thereby, similarly to the relationship between the retainer 22 and the piece cover 24, the step between the piece cover 24 and the arm support member 50 is not noticeable in appearance.

  The projecting portion 54 is urged with a predetermined pressing force (contact force) toward the bent portion 23a side of the arm piece 23 due to elastic deformation of the support portion 53, whereby the wiper blade 17 in the twisting direction with respect to the wiper arm 15 is urged. It is designed to prevent rattling. Here, by appropriately adjusting the protruding amount of the protruding portion 54, the pressing force of the protruding portion 54 with respect to the bent portion 23a is adjusted, so that the backlash of the wiper blade 17 with respect to the wiper arm 15 can be adjusted.

  As shown in FIG. 12, for example, due to the weight of snow or the like that has accumulated on the windshield 11 (see FIG. 1), the wiper blade 17 receives a stress F (arrow in the figure) about the center C of the wiper arm 15. There is a case. In this case, in the present embodiment, the front wall surface 54b of the protruding portion 54 presses the outer peripheral surface of the bent portion 23a of the arm piece 23 with a relatively large pressing force, and a gap on both sides of the protruding portion 54. Since the bent cover portion 24d of the piece cover 24 is inserted into R, the displacement of the wiper blade 17 in the twisting direction with respect to the wiper arm 15 is suppressed.

  When the wiper blade 17 is removed from the wiper arm 15 when, for example, the blade rubber 60 is replaced, the arm support member 50 is raised to the right in the drawing, as shown by the broken line in FIG. The pressing force to the bent portion 23a of the arm piece 23 due to the above is released, and the wiper blade 17 is slid with respect to the arm piece 23, whereby the wiper blade 17 can be detached from the wiper arm 15.

  As described above in detail, according to the wiper device 20 according to the present embodiment, the piece cover 24 that is formed in a shape that follows the shape of the arm piece 23 and that is attached to the arm piece 23 from the wiping direction of the blade rubber 60 is provided. Since it comprises, the enlargement of the wiper apparatus 20 can be suppressed. Further, since the piece cover 24 is attached to the arm piece 23 from the wiping direction of the blade rubber 60, the piece cover 24 can be prevented from being detached from the arm piece 23 when the wiper arm 15 is locked back. Furthermore, since no gap is formed between the arm piece 23 and the piece cover 24, it is possible to prevent the two members from being displaced due to an obstacle on the windshield 11.

  Further, according to the wiper device 20 according to the present embodiment, the arm piece 23 is provided with the first and second convex portions 23b and 23c protruding in the direction intersecting the wiping direction of the blade rubber 60, and the piece cover 24 The first and second leg portions 24b and 24c are provided with the first and second engagement holes 25a and 25b that engage with the convex portions 23b and 23c, so that the arm piece 23 and the piece cover 24 are firmly fixed. can do.

  Furthermore, according to the wiper device 20 according to the present embodiment, since the thickness dimension of the piece cover 24 is set to the thickness dimension of the retainer 22, the step G between the retainer 22 and the arm piece 23 is made inconspicuous. The aesthetics of the device 20 can be improved.

  It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the piece cover 24 is placed with respect to the arm piece 23 so that the opening O faces the roof side of the vehicle 10 (upper side in FIG. 1) in a state where the wiper arm 15 is in the lower inverted position. Although what was mounted | worn was shown, this invention is not restricted to this, It can also mount | wear so that the opening part O may face the wheel side (downward in FIG. 1) of the vehicle 10 contrary to the above.

  In the above embodiment, the wiper device is applied to the front wiper 12. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to a rear wiper that wipes the rear glass as a windshield.
