Abstract
An operable angle adjusting structure for a wiper produces a maximally wide wiping angle is realized within the range where wiper arms will not interfere with window pillars and each other and will not require a precision machining apparatus. A drive link includes a ball joint disposed in one end portion, and the ball joint is integrally mounted to one surface of an adjusting member such that the center axis of the ball joint is eccentric with respect to the center of a screw hole by a specified distance. The adjusting member is turned to change the axis-to-axis distance between a wiper drive shaft and the ball joint for proper adjustment.
