Description

ワイパブレードWiper blade
 本発明は、ワイパブレードに関する。 The present invention relates to a wiper blade.
 特開2015-54610号公報には、車両のフロントウィンドシールドガラスを払拭すると共にワイパブレードのレバー数を低減して高さ方向の寸法を抑制する背低化に対応したワイパブレードが開示されている。このワイパブレードは、払拭面(フロントウィンドシールドガラス)を払拭するブレードラバーと、ブレードラバーを払拭面へ向けて付勢する板バネ状のバッキングと、ブレードラバー及びバッキングの長手方向の中間部を保持するラバーホルダと、を備えている。そして、ラバーホルダが、クリップを介してワイパアームに連結されることで、ワイパブレードがワイパアームに取付けられるようになっている。 JP-A-2015-54610 discloses a wiper blade corresponding to height reduction, which wipes the front windshield glass of a vehicle and reduces the number of levers of the wiper blade to suppress the dimension in the height direction. . The wiper blade holds a blade rubber for wiping the wiping surface (front windshield glass), a leaf spring-like backing for biasing the blade rubber toward the wiping surface, and a longitudinal intermediate portion of the blade rubber and the backing. And a rubber holder. The rubber holder is connected to the wiper arm via a clip so that the wiper blade can be attached to the wiper arm.
 ところで、ワイパブレードにおいてワイパアームに連結される部分には、ワイパモータの作動に伴う力が入力される。そのため、ワイパブレードの長尺化に伴い、ワイパブレードにおいて払拭面との間で摩擦力が増加し、ワイパアームに連結される部分の耐久性の低下を抑制することが望まれる。 The force associated with the operation of the wiper motor is input to the portion of the wiper blade connected to the wiper arm. Therefore, as the wiper blade becomes longer, it is desirable that the frictional force between the wiper blade and the wiping surface increases and the decrease in durability of the portion connected to the wiper arm is suppressed.
 本発明は上記事実を考慮し、ワイパアームに連結される部分の耐久性の低下を抑制することができるワイパブレードを得ることが目的である。 An object of the present invention is to obtain a wiper blade capable of suppressing the deterioration of the durability of the portion connected to the wiper arm in consideration of the above-mentioned fact.
 上記課題を解決するワイパブレードは、払拭面を払拭するブレードラバーと、前記ブレードラバーに沿って設けられると共に板状に形成され、厚み方向へ撓むことで前記ブレードラバーを前記払拭面側へ付勢するバッキングと、前記バッキングの長手方向の中間部及び前記第1ホルダの少なくとも一方に固定され、ワイパアームに連結される第1ホルダと、前記バッキングを挟んで前記第1ホルダと対向して配置された状態で前記バッキングの長手方向の中間部に係止され、前記ブレードラバーの一部が前記バッキングの長手方向に挿通されて当該ブレードラバーの一部が保持される保持溝を有する第2ホルダと、を備えている。 The wiper blade which solves the above-mentioned subject is formed in plate shape while being provided along with the blade rubber which wipes a wiping surface, and the blade rubber, and attaches the blade rubber to the wiping surface side by bending in the thickness direction. And a first holder fixed to at least one of a longitudinal middle portion of the backing and the first holder and coupled to a wiper arm, and disposed opposite to the first holder with the backing interposed therebetween. And a second holder having a holding groove which is locked in the middle of the backing in the longitudinal direction, and a part of the blade rubber is inserted in the longitudinal direction of the backing to hold a part of the blade rubber. And.
 上記構成によれば、ワイパアームに連結される第1ホルダがバッキングの長手方向の中間部に固定されていると共に、ブレードラバーの一部を支持する第2ホルダがバッキングを挟んで第1ホルダと対向して配置された状態でバッキングの長手方向の中間部及び前記第1ホルダの少なくとも一方に係止されている。このように、ワイパアームが連結されて力が入力される第1ホルダとブレードラバーの一部を支持する第2ホルダとを分割することにより、ワイパアームが連結される第1ホルダをバッキングにしっかりと固定しつつ、その第1ホルダが配置された部分においても第2ホルダによりブレードラバー(一部)を保持することができる。これにより、ワイパブレードにおいてワイパアームに連結される部分の耐久性の低下を抑制することができる。  According to the above configuration, the first holder connected to the wiper arm is fixed to the longitudinal middle portion of the backing, and the second holder supporting a portion of the blade rubber faces the first holder across the backing. In the state of being placed in a locked state at least one of the longitudinal middle portion of the backing and the first holder. Thus, the first holder to which the wiper arm is connected is firmly fixed to the backing by dividing the first holder to which the wiper arm is connected and the force is input and the second holder that supports a part of the blade rubber. However, the blade rubber (part) can be held by the second holder even in the portion where the first holder is disposed.

 次に、本実施形態の作用並びに効果について説明する。
(Operation and effect of the present embodiment)
Next, the operation and effects of the present embodiment will be described.
 以上説明したワイパブレード10は、図示しないワイパモータが作動されることでワイパアーム28(図5参照)と共に往復揺動される。これにより、払拭面である車両のフロントウィンドシールドガラスがワイパブレード10のブレードラバー12によって払拭される。 The wiper blade 10 described above is reciprocated together with the wiper arm 28 (see FIG. 5) by the operation of a wiper motor (not shown). Thereby, the windshield glass of the vehicle which is the wiping surface is wiped by the blade rubber 12 of the wiper blade 10.
 ここで、図5に示されるように、本実施形態のワイパブレード10の連結装置20では、ワイパアーム28にクリップ22を介して連結される第1ホルダ24がバッキング14の長手方向の中間部に固定されていると共に、ブレードラバー12の長手方向の中間部を支持する第2ホルダ26がバッキング14を挟んで第1ホルダ24と対向して配置された状態でバッキング14の長手方向の中間部に係止されている。このように、ワイパアーム28が連結されて力が入力される第1ホルダ24とブレードラバー12の長手方向の中間部を支持する第2ホルダ26とを分割することにより、ワイパアーム28が連結される第1ホルダが配置された部分においても第2ホルダーによりブレードラバー(一部)を保持することができる。これにより、ワイパブレード10においてワイパアーム28に連結される連結装置20の耐久性の低下を抑制することができる。
 なお、第2ホルダ26は、第1ホルダに係止されていても良い。
