Abstract
The wiper blade according to the present invention consists of a blade lever and a wiping string held as extended tight on one side of the blade lever. The height of the wiper blade is a maximum of a sum of a thickness of plate-like blade lever, outside diameter of the wiping string and the spacing between the blade lever and wiping string. The width of the wiper blade is that of the blade lever. Therefore, the wiper blade can be designed small as a whole. The mirror holder has formed thereon a wiper blade guide consisting of as ascending slope to lift away from the mirror surface the wiper blade having been moved to near its reverse position and a vertical wall to land the wiper blade, having been thus lifted and reversed, from the lifted position above the mirror surface onto the mirror surface to a predetermined position where the wiper blade starts being moved back. Thus, the wiper blade can jump over a rainwater it has gathered by its forward movement and wipes it again along with new raindrops by its reverse movement with no trailing, during the reverse movement, of the rainwater having been gathered downward once by the forward movement, thereby permitting to effectively wipe away raindrops on the mirror surface.
