Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A washer apparatus 50 is provided to a coupling portion CN between a blade rubber 20 and a holder member 30 , and has a length in a longitudinal direction of the blade rubber 20 , which is set to be shorter than that of the blade rubber 20 in the longitudinal direction, and inner-peripheral-side-oriented injection nozzles 53 a and 55 a and an outer-peripheral-side-oriented injection nozzle 54 a have openings oriented to respective ends of the blade rubber 20 in the longitudinal direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wiper blade which is attached to a wiper arm provided to a vehicle to make reciprocating wiping-out motion on a windshield, the wiper blade including: a blade rubber in contact with the windshield, a holder member which holds the blade rubber, and a washer apparatus provided to a coupling portion between the blade rubber and the holder member and having first injection nozzles each of which injects washer liquid, wherein the blade rubber includes: a main body portion held by the holder member; a lip portion which is in contact with the windshield; a neck portion through which the main body portion is connected to the lip portion, the main body portion, the lip portion, and the neck portion collectively forms a pair of groove portions, the washer apparatus is set to be shorter in length than the blade rubber in a longitudinal direction thereof, the first injection nozzles includes: inner-peripheral-side-oriented injection nozzles each having an opening which injects washer liquid toward the groove portions of the blade rubber; and outer-peripheral-side-oriented injection nozzles each having an opening oriented in a direction of one longitudinal end of the blade rubber. 2. The wiper blade according to claim 1 , wherein the washer apparatus includes a channel block formed with a flow passage through which washer liquid is supplied to the injection nozzles, the channel block has orthogonal wall portions orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the blade rubber. 3. The wiper blade according to claim 2 , wherein the first injection nozzles are provided to the orthogonal wall portions. 4. The wiper blade according to claim 1 , wherein the washer apparatus includes a second injection nozzle which injects the washer liquid, and the second injection nozzle injects the washer liquid toward a front side in a wiping-out direction of the blade rubber.
