Abstract:
1. A wiper device comprising: a pivot shaft, to which a wiper arm is secured; a pivot holder, which rotationally supports the pivot shaft and includes a coupling shaft; and a pipe frame, the pipe frame including a cylindrical end coupled to the coupling shaft, wherein the coupling shaft includes a swaging portion, which is swaged to the cylindrical end, and a flat portion located at part of the coupling shaft exposed from the pipe frame, the flat portion has a predetermined angle with respect to a swaging direction of the swaging, and is parallel to an axis of the coupling shaft, the flat portion includes a first extension, which extends from the coupling shaft in a direction intersecting the axis of the coupling shaft, and a second extension, which extends on the opposite side of the coupling shaft from the first extension, and the first and second extensions each include an intersecting surface, which intersects the axis of the coupling shaft, and an inclined surface, which is inclined with respect to swaging direction to generate force in the axial direction of the coupling shaft as a component of the force in the swaging direction.
