Dummy wafers of SiC having low light transmission properties to light from the light source of a photo-sensor are used, and when wafers undergoes a heat treatment, the dummy wafers are transferred from a wafer cassette to a wafer boat in which the number of dummy wafers and a state of arrangement of the wafers are detected or monitored.

Method for transferring a dummy wafer

A wiper device for a vehicle disclosed is provided with a wiper motor, a wiper pivot connected to the wiper motor, and a pivot holder having a base portion attached to the vehicle body and a bearing hole pivotally supporting the wiper pivot in a rotatable manner. Here, the wiper pivot can rotate around the pivot axis thereof by using a drive force from the wiper motor and has a cutout portion, and the wiper pivot extends so as to project toward an outer side of the vehicle body. In such a structure, it is further structured such that a C ring engaged with the cutout portion of the wiper pivot is released from the cutout portion when a load equal to or more than a predetermined value acts on the wiper pivot. In this case, as a result, the wiper pivot is moved to an inner side of the vehicle body.

A wiper device for a vehicle disclosed is provided with a wiper motor, a wiper pivot connected to the wiper motor, and a pivot holder having a base portion attached to the vehicle body and a bearing portion connected to the base portion and pivotally supporting the wiper pivot in a rotatable manner. In this case, the wiper pivot can rotate around the pivot axis thereof by using a drive force from the wiper motor, and the wiper pivot extends so as to project toward an outer side of the vehicle body. Then, in the structure mentioned above, it is further constructed in such a manner that at least a part of the bearing portion is released from the vehicle body when a load equal to or more than a predetermined value acts on the wiper pivot so as to move the wiper pivot to the inner portion of the vehicle body.

A wiper device for a vehicle disclosed is provided with a wiper motor, a wiper pivot connected to the wiper motor, and a wiper frame in which the wiper pivot is arranged. In this case, the wiper pivot can rotate around the pivot axis thereof by using a drive force from the wiper motor, and the wiper pivot extends so as to project toward an outer side of the vehicle body. Further, the wiper frame has a bracket portion fixing the wiper frame to the vehicle body. Then, in the structure mentioned above, it is constructed in such a manner that the bracket portion of the wiper frame is released from the vehicle body so as to move the wiper pivot to an inner side of the vehicle body when a load equal to or more than a predetermined value acts on the wiper pivot.
