Abstract

See full text

A wiper apparatus is provided that reduces protrusion of a cover at a storage position of a wiper arm, and improves the appearance of the vehicle. A first link between shafts at the lower section of a four-link mechanism is formed by a mounting portion formed on a vehicle body. A second link and a third link at both ends of the first link are formed by link levers. A fourth link L4 between the end portions of the second link and the third link is formed by the proximal end portion of the first wiper arm. A cover is mounted on the proximal end portion of the first wiper arm. One of the pair of link levers, that is, the second link lever arranged closer to the wiper blade has a recess, which is recessed in the direction of a link shaft to prevent contact with the cover.
