Abstract
The swing member () to be subjected to swinging drive is integrally provided to the output shaft () outside the speed reducer case (), the speed reducer case () is provided with a pair of swing regulating portions () which prevents the swing member () from being moved beyond the wiping-allowable limit angle (b°) by contacting the swing member (). As a result, the swing member () and the swing regulating portions () can collectively form the regulating member (). As a result, essential components (such as fixing plate) can be omitted from the conventional wiper apparatus. Therefore, the wiper apparatus can be improved in assembly workability, size and weight by reducing the number of components thereof, and provided with a regulating member () which prevents the wiper member being moved beyond the wiping-allowable limit angle (b°).
