Abstract

In one aspect, the invention can be a wiper blade including a wiper strip which wipes a wiping surface; at least one pair of yoke levers which supports the wiper strip; a pair of auxiliary lever which is relatively rotatably coupled to the at least one pair of the yoke levers respectively; and a main lever which is relatively rotatably coupled to a pair of the auxiliary levers and is connected to a wiper arm, wherein, for the purpose of preventing interference caused at the time of pivoting with a U-hook type wiper arm “Ha,” the main lever includes a first concave portion which is formed toward the wiper strip in a portion of the top surface of the main lever.

Claims

1. A wiper blade comprising:

a wiper strip which wipes a wiping surface;

at least one pair of yoke levers which supports the wiper strip;

a pair of auxiliary lever which is relatively rotatably coupled to the at least one pair of the yoke levers respectively; and

a main lever which is relatively rotatably coupled to a pair of the auxiliary levers and is connected to a wiper arm,

wherein, for the purpose of preventing interference caused at the tune of pivoting with a U-hook type wiper arm “

Ha,”

the main lever comprises a first concave portion which is formed toward the wiper strip in a portion of the top surface of the main lever.

2. The wiper blade of claim 1, wherein the U-hook type wiper arm “

Ha”

comprises an arm bar connected directly to the wiper blade, wherein a bent portion is formed in the arm bar, wherein the first concave portion receives the bent portion, wherein after the bent portion extends from the center of the wiper blade in a longitudinal direction of the wiper blade by a predetermined length “

X,”

the bent portion extends with an oblique bend at a predetermined angle in a direction in which traveling wind blows, and then is bent again parallel with the wiper blade in an “

S”

shape.

3. The wiper blade of claim 1, wherein the first concave portion is formed separately from the center of the wiper blade by a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction of the wiper blade.

4. The wiper blade of claim 1, wherein the first concave portion is formed obliquely toward the lower portion from the upper portion of the main lever and toward the end from the center of the wiper blade.

5. The wiper blade of claim 1, further comprising an adaptor which is assembled on the main lever and is directly connected to the wiper arm,

wherein a side of the main lever further comprises one or more pin-holes and allowing the main lever to be coupled to a side pin-hole type wiper arm “

Pa,”

wherein, for the purpose of preventing interference caused at the time of pivoting with the side pin-hole type wiper arm “

Pa,”

the main lever further comprises a second concave portion formed concave toward the lower portion of the wiper blade, and

wherein the adaptor comprises one or more coupling recesses which contact with the one or more pin-holes respectively and receive a side-pin of the side pin-hole type wiper arm “

Pa,” and

comprises a U-Hook coupler having a curved portion receiving a U-Hook type wiper arm “

Ha.”

6. The wiper blade of claim 1, wherein the main lever is made of a resin material.

7. The wiper blade of claim 6, wherein the at least one pair of the yoke levers and a pair of the auxiliary levers are made of a resin material.

8. The wiper blade of claim 7, further comprising a spacer which is inserted between the auxiliary lever and the main lever and is made of a resin material.

9. The wiper blade of claim 8, wherein the inside of the main lever comprises a slot intended to be coupled to the spacer and comprises a catching recess preventing the spacer from being separated from the main lever, and wherein the spacer comprises a rib intended to be coupled to the slot in a sliding manner and comprises a catching projection which is caught by the catching recess.

10. The wiper blade of claim 9, wherein the catching projection is formed to have a degree of projection thereof increasing toward the end of the wiper blade from the center of the wiper blade.

11. The wiper blade of claim 9, wherein the main lever further comprises a catching projection which projects downward from an inner ceiling of the main lever, and wherein the spacer further comprises a catching recess which is formed in the upper portion of the spacer and by which the catching projection is caught.

12. The wiper blade of claim 7, wherein the main lever comprises a protruding fitting portion which protrudes downward from an inner ceiling of the main lever, and wherein the auxiliary lever comprises a receiving hole which is formed in the upper portion thereof and receives the protruding fitting portion.

13. The wiper blade of claim 7 wherein the auxiliary lever comprises a protruding fitting portion which protrudes downward from an inner ceiling of the auxiliary lever, and wherein the yoke lever comprises a receiving hole which is formed in the upper portion thereof and receives the protruding fitting portion.

14. The wiper blade of claim 7, wherein the auxiliary lever comprises a side projection which projects from both sides of one end of the central portion of the wiper blade.

15. The wiper blade of claim 7, wherein the auxiliary lever comprises an inner projection which projects toward the inside of the spoiler from a lower inner side of the spoiler.
