Abstract
A vehicle wiper device including a wiper arm, a wiper blade, and a wiping range enlarging mechanism is disclosed. The wiper arm is driven by driving force of a drive source. The wiper blade is coupled to a distal portion of the wiper arm at a constant position relative to the wiper arm. The wiper blade moves back and forth between first and second reversing positions while wiping a wiping surface of a vehicle body when the wiper arm is driven. The wiping range enlarging mechanism drives the wiper arm while moving a basal portion of the wiper arm so that a wiping angle of a basal portion of the wiper arm becomes greater than a wiping angle of a distal portion of the wiper arm at the second reversing position.
