- the bent portion 45 of the middle plate portion 37 of the second bracket 32 extends in the vehicle width direction, and when a load is input to the middle plate portion 37 in the front-rear direction, the bent portion 45 bends and deforms. easy to do Therefore, a pedestrian collides with the front of the vehicle 1, and the portion of the wiper bracket 30 standing forward from the dash panel 4 side (the middle plate portion 37 of the second bracket 32 (the position indicated by the white arrow in FIG. 5) )), the intermediate plate portion 37 can be deformed at the bent portion 45 as indicated by the dashed line in FIG.
- the middle plate portion 37 of the second bracket 32 has a bent portion 45 that extends in the vehicle width direction and functions as an easily deformable portion, and is formed into a bent shape at the bent portion 45 .
- the intermediate plate portion 37 having the easily deformable portion can be easily formed because the intermediate plate portion 37 can be made to function as the easily deformable portion simply by forming the intermediate plate portion 37 in a shape bent at the bent portion 45 . be able to.
- the intermediate plate portion 37 Since the impact on the pedestrian side can be suppressed by the deformation, pedestrian protection performance can be ensured.
- the upper bolt fixing portion 51 of the wiper support plate portion 33 of the first bracket 31 is fastened and fixed to the convex portion 4a of the dash panel 4 by a bolt 53, and the lower bolt fixing portion 34 is fixed to the second bracket 32. is fastened and fixed by bolts 54 to the . Therefore, by loosening the bolts 53 and 54 that fasten and fix the upper end side and the lower end side of the first bracket 31, the first bracket 31 supporting the pivot shaft 9b of the wiper device 5 is moved to the second bracket 32. And since it can be removed from the dash panel 4 side, the wiper device 5 can be removed for inspection, replacement, and the like.
- first bracket 31 supporting the wiper device 5 can be removed from the second bracket 32, the first bracket 31 can be removed without making the second bracket 32 removable from the dash panel 4. It can be removed from the vehicle body. Therefore, since the rear plate portion 38 of the second bracket 32 can be fixed to the dash panel 4 by spot welding, it is not necessary to provide the dash panel 4 with a bolt insertion hole for fixing the second bracket 32. Therefore, the number of openings provided in the dash panel 4 can be reduced.
- left and right upper bolt fixing portions 51 arranged on both sides of the shaft support portion 52 in the vehicle width direction are fixed to the dash panel 4 on the upper end side of the wiper support plate portion 33 of the first bracket 31 . Therefore, both sides in the vehicle width direction of the shaft support portion 52 of the wiper support plate portion 33 are supported from the dash panel 4 side, so that the strength of the shaft support portion 52 of the wiper support plate portion 33 can be ensured.
- the first bracket 31 is composed of one plate-like member (wiper support plate portion 33), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the wiper support plate portion 33 that supports the pivot shaft 9b Other configurations may be used as long as they include
- the second bracket 32 is configured by the front plate portion (bracket support plate portion) 36, the middle plate portion (leg portion) 37, and the rear plate portion (fixing plate portion) 38.
- Other configurations may be used as long as they include a plate portion, a leg portion, and a fixed plate portion.
- the intermediate plate portion (leg portion) 37 that extends rearward by bending from the lower end of the front plate portion (bracket support plate portion) 36 is provided.
- a leg portion may be provided that bends from the upper end of the plate portion and extends rearward. That is, the bracket support plate portion may extend upward from the rear end of the leg portion.
- bent portion 45 of the intermediate plate portion 37 protrudes forward, but it may protrude rearward.
- the rear plate portion (fixed plate portion) 38 that bends and extends downward from the rear end of the intermediate plate portion (leg portion) 37 is provided.
- a fixed plate portion may be provided that bends and extends upward from the rear end.
- the shaft support portion 52 of the wiper support plate portion 33 is positioned between the left and right upper bolt fixing portions 51 at the upper end portion of the wiper support plate portion 33 (the position sandwiched between the left and right upper bolt fixing portions 51).
- the shaft support portion 52 is positioned below the upper bolt fixing portion 51 of the wiper support plate portion 33 and above the lower bolt fixing portion 34. may be placed. That is, in the present embodiment, both regions in the vehicle width direction of the shaft support portion 52 on the upper end side of the wiper support plate portion 33 are fixed to the dash panel 4, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the wiper bracket 30 is composed of the two brackets 31 and 32 that are fixed to each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. ) 37 and a rear plate portion (fixed plate portion) 38 integrally formed of one member.
- the wiper bracket according to the present disclosure is applied to the cab-over type vehicle 1, but it is not limited to this, and the dash panel that stands up in front of the vehicle compartment It can be applied to various vehicles having
- the wiper bracket according to the present disclosure can be widely applied to various vehicles in which wipers are attached to the dash panel that stands up in front of the passenger compartment.
