Wiper assembly for vehicle

DRIVE July 3, 2002
Source
A motor bracket (17) is attached at one end of a vehicle body so as to be able to slide, and is fixed at the other end to the vehicle body. Weak points (17c) are provided in the vicinity of a motor bracket fixing section (17a). Weak points (14c) are also provided in the vicinity of a first fixing section (14a) of a first pivot holder (14) and weak points (15c) are also provided in the vicinity of a second fixing section (15a) of a second pivot holder (15). Since the motor bracket (17) slides and becomes detachable if the weak points (17c) are ruptured, it is possible to absorb an impact at the wiper motor (13). Since the first and second pivot holders (14, 15) are also detached if the weak points (14c, 15c) are ruptured, it is possible to improve the overall impact absorbing performance of the vehicle wiper assembly (1).
