Abstract
To house drive components in a single drive section casing and shorten a link member, a mirror (57a) is held by a mirror casing (56). A right-and-left motor (61) and an up-and-down motor (62) are housed within a drive section casing (55). If the motors (61, 62) are driven, a tilting mechanism unit tilts the mirror (57a). A wiper motor (63) is housed within the drive section casing (55). A wiper drive transfer unit for transferring rotation of the wiper motor (63) is housed within the drive section casing (55). Furthermore, a link mechanism section (D) and a rotary shaft section (E) for transferring output of the wiper drive transfer unit to reciprocal rotary motion are housed in the mirror casing (56). By the reciprocal rotary motion converted by the link mechanism section (D) and rotary shaft section (E), a wiper main body wipes the surface of the mirror.
