Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle in which a rear wiper is provided on a rear glass, when the vehicle is being washed by a car washer, a washing body such as a rotating cleaning brush of the car washer catches and damages the rear wiper. The present invention relates to a rear wiper protector used to prevent the occurrence of a windshield.

ヤワイパーを破損させる恐れがある。For example, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), when washing a van-type vehicle in which a rear wiper is turned sideways at its operation stop position, a side brush goes around from the side of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle to remove the rear glass. At the time of cleaning, the side brush may catch the lateral end of the rear wiper and raise it forcibly, possibly damaging the rear wiper. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9B, in the case of washing a hardtop type vehicle in which the rear wiper faces upward or obliquely upward at the operation stop position, the top brush wraps around the rear glass from the vehicle ceiling surface and removes the rear glass. At the time of cleaning, the top brush may catch the upward end of the rear wiper and forcibly raise the rear wiper, possibly damaging the rear wiper.

あった。However, the above-mentioned method has a problem in that the work efficiency is reduced because it takes time to fix the rear wiper to the vehicle body surface with an adhesive tape or the like every time before the car is washed. Also, especially when the vehicle body surface is wet, the adhesive force of the adhesive tape or the like may be weakened and the tape may be detached in the middle of the car wash. When the adhesive tape was peeled off after the completion, there was also a problem that the glue adhered and became difficult to remove.

A 3 m chamfer having an arc cross section is provided. By setting the head CH of the protector main body C in such a form, the mounting angle of the rear wiper protector A can be changed according to the operation stop position W '(that is, the stationary angle) of the rear wiper W of the vehicle V as described later. Even if it is changed, regardless of its mounting angle, rear wiper protector A
Can reduce the contact resistance received from the cleaning body such as the side brush SB and the top brush TB of the car washer,
Regardless of the mounting angle of the rear wiper protector A to the rear glass R, the protector A can be effectively prevented from being caught by the cleaning body.

に回避することができる。The upper surface of the support portion Cs is a wiper receiving surface 4 which faces the side surface of the tip end Wa of the rear wiper W at the operation stop position W with a small gap therebetween. It is a flat surface inclined by a predetermined angle θ with respect to the major axis L of the elliptical top surface 3 of the head CH of the protector body C. Therefore, when the protector main body C is mounted on the rear glass R such that the long axis L is horizontal as in this usage example, the wiper receiving surface 4 of the support portion Cs is arranged to be slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. Therefore, rainwater and the like on the wiper receiving surface 4 are smoothly discharged as shown by the arrow in FIG. 5, so that it is possible to effectively prevent water from accumulating on the receiving surface 4.
