Abstract:
This wiper device has the following: a wiper arm (14) that swings about a rotating shaft (18); and a wiper motor (13) that produces the power to be transmitted to the rotating shaft (18). The wiper device is also provided with a power-transmission mechanism (19) that transmits power from the rotating shaft (18) to the wiper arm (14). Said power-transmission mechanism (19) is provided with the following: a linking member (19a) affixed to the rotating shaft (18); and a support shaft (19b) that supports the wiper arm (14) and is affixed to a point on the linking member (19a) offset from the rotating shaft (18). The support shaft (19b) is provided such that the coupling between the support shaft (19b) and the wiper arm (14) is located forwards of the front edge of the windshield (11). At least part of the wiper motor (13) is disposed in a region corresponding to the projection of the windshield (11). The wiper motor is thus disposed as far rearwards as possible in the vehicle with minimal increase in the number of components.
