Abstract
A wiper with rise-up mechanism includes a crank and a rod that is rotatably connected to the crank through a shift mechanism. The crank supports an eccentric rotor. The rod is coupled to the eccentric rotor to rotate about the axis of the eccentric rotor. A key is supported in the eccentric rotor to move axially. The key can be moved by the rotation of the crank. When the crank rotates in a normal direction, the key locks the eccentric rotor to the rod. When the crank rotates in the reverse direction, the key fixes the eccentric rotor to the crank. Only one key is used, which reduces the number of parts and simplifies the operation of the key.
