A connecting arrangement of a lever is rotatably connected to a wiper arm. Arms of the lever are located on longitudinal sides, respectively, of the connecting arrangement and extend in the longitudinal direction of a wiper strip. Each arm of the lever includes a holding portion, which is provided in a longitudinal distal end of the arm to hold the wiper strip together with backing plates. The holding portion of each arm of the lever is positioned in an intermediate location between the connecting arrangement and a corresponding longitudinal end of the wiper strip.

A wiper blade of a wiper system of a vehicle includes a blade rubber, two backing plates, a holder and a resilient fin. The backing plates are received in backing grooves of the blade rubber. The holder is rotatably connected to a wiper arm of the wiper system and detachably holds the blade rubber, which has the backing plates. The resilient fin is connected to the holder and limits lifting of the wiper blade from a windshield surface of the vehicle when the vehicle is running.

A wiper is provided for use in a vehicle for wiping the windshield glass. A holder is fixed to a baseplate of the vehicle body and, against the holder, an inner bearing is supported so as to rotate about its axis. A pivot shaft is inclined relative to the axis of the inner bearing while being rotatably supported. The driving force is transmitted from a driving source into driving forces for a first driving apparatus for driving the pivot shaft and second driving apparatus for driving the inner bearing. Inversion apparatus or a rotating apparatus always rotates the second driving apparatus either in a direction opposite to or in the same direction as the rotational direction of the first driving apparatus.
