Abstract

Provided is a wiper blade apparatus on which various mount types of wiper arms are capable of being assembled. The wiper blade apparatus includes a lever member supporting a wiper lip, the lever member and a clip member coupled to the lever member. The lever member includes a clip accommodation hole, a first mount hole and a first popping groove. An inner wall of the first popping groove is separated from the lever member by a force of about 3 kgf to about 5 kgf that is applied in a width direction of the lever member to form a hole through which the first popping groove faces the first mount hole, and a pin arm type wiper arm or a slide arm type wiper arm is mounted by passing through the first mount hole and the first popping groove.

Claims (20)

1. A wiper blade apparatus on which various mount types of wiper arms are capable of being assembled, the wiper blade apparatus comprising:

a lever member supporting a wiper lip, the lever member being provided with a spoiler preventing the wiper lip from being lifted from a glass by wind pressure applied during a driving of a vehicle;

a clip member coupled to a central portion of the lever member, the clip member being provided as a medium for mounting a wiper arm;

wherein the lever member comprises:

a clip accommodation hole, which is a hole having a cross-section having a square shape, passing through upper and lower portions of the lever member to accommodate the clip member in a central portion of the lever member in a longitudinal direction of the lever member;

a first mount hole defined in a position spaced apart from a center of the clip accommodation hole in the longitudinal direction of the lever member to pass through one sidewall of the clip accommodation hole;

a first popping groove coaxially disposed with respect to a central axis of the first mount hole, the first popping groove being provided in a groove shape in the other sidewall of the clip accommodation hole;

wherein an inner wall of the first popping groove comprises a neck part connected to the other sidewall of the clip accommodation hole, and

the neck part has a thickness of about 0.3 mm to about 1 mm;

wherein the inner wall of the first popping groove is separable from the lever member by a force of about 3 kgf to about 5 kgf applied in a width direction of the lever member to form a hole through which the first popping groove faces the first mount hole;

wherein a pin arm type wiper arm or a slide arm type wiper arm is mountable by passing through the first mount hole and the first popping groove;

a second mount hole and a second popping groove respectively disposed symmetrical to the first mount hole and the first popping groove about a center of the longitudinal direction of the lever member,

wherein the second mount hole has the same structure as the first mount hole, and the second popping groove has the same structure as the first popping groove; and

a beauty cap detachably coupled to the lever member to cover the first and second mount holes when the first and second mount holes are not used, wherein the beauty cap includes a protrusion coupling part elastically coupled to the first mount hole and the second mount hole.

2. The wiper blade apparatus of claim 1 , the inner wall of the first popping groove being separated from the lever member by a force of about 3 kgf to about 5 kgf applied in the width direction of the lever member to form a hole through which the first popping groove faces the first mount hole; and

the slide arm type wiper arm being mounted by passing through the first mount hole and the first popping groove.

3. The wiper blade apparatus of claim 1 , the inner wall of the first popping groove being separated from the lever member by a force of about 3 kgf to about 5 kgf applied in the width direction of the lever member to form a hole through which the first popping groove faces the first mount hole; and

the slide arm type wiper arm being mounted by passing through the first mount hole and the first popping groove.

4. The wiper blade apparatus of claim 1 , the inner wall of the second popping groove being separated from the lever member by a force of about 3 kgf to about 5 kgf applied in the width direction of the lever member to form a hole through which the second popping groove faces the second mount hole; and

the slide arm type wiper arm being mounted by passing through the second mount hole and the second popping groove.
