Abstract
A vehicle wiper comprises a retainer that is formed in an elongated shape open at the lower side facing toward a windshield, and that is provided so as to be capable of swinging about a shaft axis of a pivot shaft that is swung to-and-fro; a first nozzle member that is housed inside the retainer, and that is capable of ejecting washer fluid from an ejection portion; and 1 a retainer cover member that closes off an opening of the retainer, and that is formed with a window through which the ejection portion of the first nozzle member is externally exposed.
Claims15
A vehicle wiper comprising:
- a retainer that is formed in an elongated shape open at a lower side facing toward a windshield, and that is provided so as to be capable of swinging about a shaft axis of a pivot shaft that is swung to-and-fro;
- a first nozzle member that is housed inside the retainer, and that is capable of ejecting washer fluid from an ejection portion;
- a retainer cover member that closes off an opening of the retainer;
- an arm head whose base end portion is fixed to the pivot shaft, and whose leading end portion is coupled to the retainer so as to be capable of swinging;
- an urging mechanism that is housed inside a length direction base end side of the retainer, and that urges the leading end side of the retainer toward the windshield side;
- a first hose, that is housed inside the retainer, that is disposed parallel to the urging mechanism and along the length direction of the retainer, and that supplies washer fluid to the first nozzle member;
- a second nozzle member that is provided at a length direction leading end portion of the retainer, or that is provided at a wiper blade coupled to the length direction leading end portion of the retainer, and that is capable of ejecting washer fluid from an ejection portion onto the opposite side of the wiper blade from that of the first nozzle member;
- and
- a second hose that is housed inside the retainer and that supplies washer fluid to the second nozzle member,
- wherein a partitioning wall is provided at the retainer cover member and extends along a length direction of the urging mechanism and a length direction of the first hose so as to be interposed between the urging mechanism and the first hose,
- the first and second hoses are provided side-by-side along the length direction of the retainer and the first hose is disposed on one side of the urging mechanism and the second hose is disposed on the other side of the urging mechanism, and
- the partitioning wall is respectively formed on both sides of the urging mechanism so as to be interposed between the urging mechanism and the two hoses.

- a first nozzle member that is housed inside the retainer, and that is capable of ejecting washer fluid from an ejection portion;
- a retainer cover member that closes off an opening of the retainer,
- an arm head whose base end portion is fixed to the pivot shaft, and whose leading end portion is coupled to the retainer so as to be capable of swinging;
- an urging mechanism that is housed inside a length direction base end side of the retainer, and that urges the leading end side of the retainer toward the windshield side;
- and
- a first hose, that is housed inside the retainer, that is disposed parallel to the urging mechanism and along the length direction of the retainer, and that supplies washer fluid to the first nozzle member,
- wherein, a partitioning wall is provided at the retainer cover member and extends along a length direction of the urging mechanism and a length direction of the first hose so as to be interposed between the urging mechanism and the first hose, and
- by slit-forming, a portion of the partitioning wall configures a resilient tab capable of flexing in a direction orthogonal to the extension direction of the partitioning wall, and an engaging portion that engages with an engaged portion of the retainer is formed at a leading end portion of the resilient tab.

- a first hose, that is housed inside the retainer, that is disposed parallel to the urging mechanism and along the length direction of the retainer, and that supplies washer fluid to the first nozzle member;
- and
- a head cover member that is attached so as to permit relative swing between the arm head and the retainer while also closing off an opening of the arm head, wherein:
- a partitioning wall is provided at the retainer cover member and extends along a length direction of the urging mechanism and a length direction of the first hose so as to be interposed between the urging mechanism and the first hose,
- the retainer cover member is attached so as to permit relative swing between the arm head and the retainer,
- the head cover member includes a resilient engagement fixing portion that engages with an engaged fixing portion provided at the corresponding arm head;
- and
- the resilient engagement fixing portion includes a first resilient tab that is provided extending along the assembly direction of the head cover to the corresponding arm head, a second resilient tab that extends from a leading end portion of the first resilient tab so as to fold back on itself, and an engaging fixing portion that is provided at the leading end portion of the second resilient tab and engages with the engaged fixing portion.
