Abstract

A wiper apparatus for a vehicle, including: a frame to receive a wiper driving motor; a supporter formed to protrude from the frame toward an auto body panel; and a jointing member that combines with the supporter and that joins to the auto body panel, wherein the jointing member forms an ‘L’ shape in a longitudinal cross-section including a direction in which the jointing member is finally assembled into the auto body panel, and includes a first pressing part for contacting and supporting one side of the auto body panel; a second pressing part for contacting and supporting the other side of the auto body panel; and a protruding stopper for preventing the auto body panel from rotating in a direction parallel to the auto body panel.

Claims (15)

1. A wiper apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

a frame to receive a wiper driving motor;

a supporter formed to protrude from the frame toward an auto body panel; and

a jointing member that is combined with the supporter and that joins to the auto body panel,

wherein the jointing member forms an ‘L’ shape in a longitudinal cross-section including a direction in which the jointing member is finally assembled onto the auto body panel, and comprises a first pressing part for contacting and supporting one side of the auto body panel; a second pressing part for contacting and supporting the other side of the auto body panel and protruding from the first pressing part toward a front direction viewed from a direction in which the second pressing part is finally assembled onto the auto body panel; and a protruding stopper for preventing the auto body panel from rotating in a direction parallel to the auto body panel,

wherein the protruding stopper is placed on a front end of the second pressing part.

2. The wiper apparatus for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the jointing member comprises,

a damper assembled onto the supporter by being fitted to an end part of the supporter, the damper comprising an elastic material to absorb vibration;

a base member assembled onto the supporter by being fitted to the damper in order not to directly contact the supporter, the base member comprising the first pressing part and the second pressing part; and

a clip member removably assembled onto the base member, the clip member comprising the protruding stopper.

3. The wiper apparatus for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the supporter comprises an anti-breakaway sill for supporting an end part of the damper to prevent the damper from breaking away from the supporter.

4. The wiper apparatus for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the damper comprises an anti-movement groove for preventing the base member from breaking away from the damper, and the base member comprises an anti-movement hook that inserts into the anti-movement groove.

5. The wiper apparatus for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the base member has at least a rib for strength reinforcement formed on one side thereof.

6. The wiper apparatus for a vehicle of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of jointing members,

wherein at least one of the jointing members comprises an auxiliary stopper that is elastically caught in an auxiliary groove formed in the auto body panel so that the at least one jointing member is not separated from the auto body panel by an unexpected external force.
