Patent ID: 8046866

Claim:
A wiper system for a vehicle, comprising: a wiper support shaft that supports a wiper, which is adapted to wipe a windshield glass of the vehicle, wherein the wiper support shaft projects outward through an opening of a cowl louver that is placed on a vehicle front side of the windshield glass; a drive mechanism that is adapted to drive the wiper support shaft to move the wiper support shaft in the opening of the cowl louver in such a manner that a wiping range of the wiper, which is installed to the wiper support shaft, changes on the windshield glass; and a covering member that is entirely placed under the cowl louver and is supported by the wiper support shaft, wherein the covering member is moved in response to movement of the wiper support shaft and covers the opening of the cowl louver to limit direct viewing of the drive mechanism through the opening of the cowl louver.
