Abstract:
1. A wiper blade comprising: a main lever coupled to a wiper arm, the main lever including a longitudinally intermediate portion, a first end portion and a first holding portion, the first end portion including a first end face, the first end face defined by at least one of two longitudinal end faces of the main lever, the first holding portion being arranged closer to the first end face than the longitudinally intermediate portion; a movable member pivotally coupled to the first end portion and including a second holding portion; a rubber blade configured for wiping a surface of a vehicle windshield and held by the first holding portion and the second holding portion; and a coupling portion arranged between the main lever and the movable member, the coupling portion including an upper coupling portion and a lower coupling portion, the main lever including the upper coupling portion extending downward from an upper wall of the main lever, the movable member including the lower coupling portion and the lower coupling portion being integrally formed with the movable member, the lower coupling portion facing the upper coupling portion; wherein the upper coupling portion and the lower coupling portion are coupled to each other and pivot relative to each other about a pivot axis, the pivot axis is located along the main lever between the first holding portion and the first end face, the upper coupling portion is arranged above the lower coupling portion, and the upper coupling portion and the lower coupling portion are configured to couple the main lever and the movable member together pivotally by inserting the upper coupling portion into the lower coupling portion through relative movement to each other in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the wiping surface of the rubber blade.
