A wiper device comprising:
- a wiper member that includes a wiper arm to which a wiper blade is coupled, a base end portion of the wiper arm including an arm head supported by a support section provided at a vehicle, and the wiper member being configured to undergo displacement relative to the vehicle;
- a drive wheel that (i) is rotatably supported by the wiper member at a position of the wiper member which is separated from the support section, (ii) is in contact with a running face provided at the vehicle, and (iii) rolls across the running face so as to displace the wiper member relative to the vehicle;
- and
- a motor that (i) is supported by the wiper member so as to undergo displacement together with the wiper member, (ii) is accommodated in a housing chamber formed in the arm head, and (iii) drives rotation of the drive wheel.
A wiper device comprising:
- a wiper member that includes a wiper arm to which a wiper blade is coupled, a base end portion of the wiper arm including an arm head supported by a support shaft provided at a vehicle, and the wiper member being configured to pivot about the support shaft;
- a drive wheel that is supported by the wiper member so as to be in contact with a running face of the vehicle and capable of rolling across the running face, the running face provided at the vehicle in a circular arc shape concentric to the support shaft;
- and
- a motor that (i) is supported by the wiper member, (ii) is accommodated in a housing chamber formed in the arm head, and (iii) drives rotation of the drive wheel.
