1. A wiper for a vehicle having improved assembling efficiency and reduced weight, the wiper comprising:
a wiper strip disposed in sliding contact with a glass pane of a vehicle and for removing foreign substances on the glass pane;
a plurality of supports combined with the wiper strip, disposed in a lengthwise direction of the wiper strip and having elasticity;
a first yoke slidably supporting the plurality of supports on ends of the first yoke;
a second yoke disposed separate from the first yoke and slidably supporting the supports on ends of the second yoke;
a first auxiliary lever having one end combined with a middle portion of the first yoke in such a way that the first auxiliary lever is able to be rotated relative to the first yoke and another end slidably supporting one end of the supports;
a second auxiliary lever having one end combined with a middle portion of the second yoke in such a way that the second auxiliary lever is able to be rotated relative to the second yoke and another end slidably supporting one end of the supports; and
a primary lever having one end combined with the first auxiliary lever in such a way that the primary lever is able to be rotated relative to the first auxiliary lever and another end combined with the second auxiliary lever in such a way that the primary lever is able to be rotated relative to the second auxiliary lever and comprising an arm combination hole in which a wiper arm is combined with a center of the primary lever,
the first yoke and the second yoke each comprise a through hole by which the first yoke and the second yoke are combined with the first auxiliary lever and the second auxiliary lever, respectively,
the first yoke and the second yoke accommodate portions of the wiper strip and the supports, and
a combination protrusion protruding from sidewalls of inner circumferences of the first auxiliary lever and the second auxiliary lever toward the through hole is formed to be elastically accommodated in the through hole;
a cover combination portion protruding from sidewalls of the arm combination hole; and
a cover having a hole of which one side to be combined with the cover combination portion is opened,
wherein a cross-section of the cover combination portion is non-circular, and the non-circular cross-section tapers in a direction in which the cover is combined with the cover combination portion.
2. The wiper of claim 1 , wherein the primary lever comprises a pair of protrusion combination portions extending from an upper portion of an inner circumference of the ends of the primary lever to a lower portion thereof, and the first auxiliary lever and the second auxiliary lever each comprise an accommodation hole in which the protrusion combination portion is accommodated.
3. The wiper of claim 2 , wherein the pair of protrusion combination portions each comprise:
a protrusion accommodation portion formed concavely at a side surface of one protrusion combination portion; and
a protrusion protruding from a side surface of the accommodation hole toward the protrusion accommodation portion.
