Provided is a wiper blade wherein: a pair of accommodation sections are disposed in both sides in the short direction of a holder main body () so as to sandwich a holding section () therebetween; a pair of vertebrae that elastically deform a blade rubber () to match the curvature of a front glass are accommodated in each accommodation section; an insertion opening (O) capable of inserting a main body section () is disposed between an end cap () and the holder main body (); and a guiding section () that guides the main body section () towards the holding section () is disposed on the end cap () side where the insertion opening (O) is formed.

Wiper blade and method of assembling the same

Provided is a wiper blade wherein: a pair of accommodation sections () are disposed so as to sandwich therebetween a holding section () that holds a main body section (); a vertebra () is accommodated in each of the accommodation sections (); an arm connection member () to which a wiper arm is connected is fixed to each vertebra (); a rubber pressing section () that presses the main body section () towards a front glass is disposed in a section of the holding section () that faces the front glass; and a holder pressing section () that presses a holder member () towards the front glass by the elastic force of each vertebra () is disposed in the section of each accommodation section () that faces the front glass, further on the front glass side than the rubber pressing section ().

Wiper blade

A fin part () is provided on a side opposite to a wiping surface side of a rubber holder () to press a blade rubber () toward the wiping surface side by receiving a wind (W) flowing along a moving car, and covering parts () protrude from both lengthwise ends of the blade rubber () toward the wiping surface side so as to partially cover lateral parts of the blade rubber (). Owing to the fin part (), liftoff of a wiper blade () can be prevented. A wind (W) flowing from the front side to the rear side at an end part of a swing center side of the blade rubber () can be rectified by the covering part (), and the wind (W) can flow along the rear side of the wiper blade () in the length direction of the wiper blade ().

A resin garnish installation structure installed to a vehicle body exterior surface, having a resin garnish which extends along a longitudinal direction thereof, the resin garnish including: an exterior surface which is level with the vehicle body exterior surface; a first edge which extends along the longitudinal direction; a second edge which is provided on an opposite side of the first edge and extends along the longitudinal direction; and an end part provided at a tip in the longitudinal direction, wherein in a vicinity of the end part, the second edge gradually curbs toward the first edge, and the second edge joins the first edge at the end part, and the resin garnish is installed so that a gap is formed between the end part and the vehicle body exterior surface, the gap becoming wider as it gets closer to the tip of the resin garnish.

Installation structure of resin garnish

Drip mold for automobiles

A clip for mounting a weatherstrip between an end side of a window and a window frame includes: a weatherstrip side member having arms for engaging the weatherstrip and tabular engagement pieces extending from a base portion of the arms; and a window frame side member including box-shape holding portions for allowing the tabular engagement pieces to slide therein and an attachment device, i.e. T stud attachment portion and a double-sided tape, for attaching to the window frame. An engagement device is provided between the engagement pieces and the holding portions, and is formed of claws provided on one of the engagement pieces and holding portions and holes provided on the other. The weatherstrip side member and the window frame side member can be separately formed, and easily combined.

Clip for mounting weatherstrip

In an integral drip molding in which a window guard sectionalong the front window W and a roof guard sectionalong the roof R are integrally formed, a lip section that contacts the front window W or the roof R is of a double construction, having an outer lip sectionand inner lip sectionThe inner lip sectionin the roof guard sectionis positioned within a concave grooveformed at the portion where the roof R and the side panelare connected, so that water that is forced into the rear section of the window guard sectionflows into the concave groovethrough a space S between the two lip sectionsandThus overflow of water from the rear end of the window guard section to the side window is reliably prevented.
