A wiper apparatus which sandwiches a strip plate between upper and lower wiper rolls and to squeeze out a rolling oil adhering to the strip plate , wherein backup rolls for reinforcing the wiper rolls each have a single sleeve rotatably supported by two bearings on a roll shaft, and the bearings on the upper and lower backup rolls and are disposed on the roll shafts with a shorter span than the barrel length of the sleeve, and in point symmetry. Thus, a contact linear pressure distribution of the wiper rolls on the strip plate can be made uniform.
