Abstract:
A wiper device for wiping wind shield glass surface of a vehicle body comprising:a wiper arm facing the wind shield glass surface and making a rotating and reciprocating movement, wherein the wiper arm exerts an arm pressure acting toward the wind shield glass surface;a wiper blade having a holding axis through which the wiper blade is rotatably held by the wiper arm, wherein the wiper blade is in contact with the wind shield glass surface due to a biasing force of the arm pressure and rotatably and reciprocatingly wipes the wind shield glass surface according to the movement of the wiper arm;a slider unit attached to the wiper blade at a position being shifted by a predetermined amount from the holding axis; anda lifter disposed at the vehicle body at a position where the wiper device is stopped and the wiper blade is in a stop position, wherein the slider unit runs onto the lifter to lift the wiper blade so that the wiper blade is rotated about the holding axis until the wiper blade comes in contact with and is pressed against the wiper arm on a side of the slider unit with respect to the holding axis when the wiper device is stopped and the wiper blade is in a stop position.
