The rubber portion 66A includes a metal portion 66B disposed on the center side and the lower side, and a bolt insertion hole 66C is formed in the metal portion 66B. From the upper side of the rubber part 66A, the bolt 78 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 66C of the overhanging attachment part 66 and the bolt insertion hole 77 of the top wall part 74A, and is screwed into the nut 79 below the top wall part 74A. As a result, the overhang attachment portion 66 of the wiper operating mechanism 48 is fixed to the attachment surface 76 in a surface contact state.

図２に示されるように、ダッシュパネル２２側の係合保持部７０とサスペンションタワー２０側の頂壁部７４Ａとで保持されるワイパ作動機構４８は、車幅方向内側寄りのピボット軸５０Ｂに近接した位置において、張出取付部６８がカウルアウタフロントパネル３４の下面に取り付けられている。張出取付部６８は、軸受部６２Ｂの下部から径方向外側へ張り出したブラケット６７の先端部に設けられ、図１０及び図１２に示されるように、円盤状のゴム部６８Ａとゴム部６８Ａの中央側及び下側に配設される金属部６８Ｂとを備え、中央部にはボルト挿通孔６８Ｃが形成されている。図１０〜図１２に示されるように、カウルアウタフロントパネル３４の下面には、張出取付部６８が取り付けられる下面取付部８０（図１２参照）が設けられており、この下面取付部８０の略中央部にボルト挿通孔８２が貫通形成されている。カウルアウタフロントパネル３４の上方側からボルト８４がカウルアウタフロントパネル３４のボルト挿通孔８２内、及び張出取付部６８のボルト挿通孔６８Ｃ内へ挿通されて螺合されることにより、ワイパ作動機構４８の張出取付部６８が下面取付部８０に面接触状態で固定されるようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the wiper operating mechanism 48 held by the engagement holding portion 70 on the dash panel 22 side and the top wall portion 74A on the suspension tower 20 side is close to the pivot shaft 50B on the inner side in the vehicle width direction. In this position, the overhang attachment portion 68 is attached to the lower surface of the cowl outer front panel 34. The overhanging attachment portion 68 is provided at the tip end portion of the bracket 67 projecting radially outward from the lower portion of the bearing portion 62B. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the disc-shaped rubber portion 68A and the rubber portion 68A are provided.

A bolt insertion hole 82 is formed through substantially the center. A bolt 84 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 82 of the cowl outer front panel 34 and the bolt insertion hole 68C of the overhang attachment portion 68 from above the cowl outer front panel 34, and is screwed into the wiper operating mechanism. Forty-eight mounting portions 68 are fixed to the lower surface mounting portion 80 in a surface contact state.

以上のように、図２に示されるワイパ作動機構４８は、ダッシュパネル２２側の係合保持部７０、サスペンションタワー２０側の頂壁部７４Ａ、及びカウルアウタフロントパネル３４の下面取付部８０の３点で保持、換言すれば、ワイパ作動機構４８における幅方向（車幅方向と同じ方向）の略中央部及び幅方向両側部分で保持されている。また、係合保持部７０でのワイパ作動機構４８側の保持位置７０Ｘ、及び取付面７６でのワイパ作動機構４８側の取付位置７６Ｘは、下面取付部８０でのワイパ作動機構４８側の取付位置よりもワイパアーム４２（図１参照）側の反対側にオフセットされるようになっている。換言すれば、係合保持部７０及び頂壁部７４Ａによって、カウルアウタフロントパネル３４よりも深い（略車両下方側）箇所にワイパ４０の支持点を設けている。   As described above, the wiper operating mechanism 48 shown in FIG. 2 includes the engagement holding portion 70 on the dash panel 22 side, the top wall portion 74A on the suspension tower 20 side, and the lower surface mounting portion 80 of the cowl outer front panel 34. It is held at a point, in other words, held at the substantially central portion in the width direction (the same direction as the vehicle width direction) and both side portions in the width direction of the wiper operating mechanism 48. Further, the holding position 70X on the wiper operating mechanism 48 side in the engagement holding portion 70 and the mounting position 76X on the wiper operating mechanism 48 side in the mounting surface 76 are the mounting position on the wiper operating mechanism 48 side in the lower surface mounting portion 80. It is offset to the opposite side of the wiper arm 42 (see FIG. 1) side. In other words, the support point of the wiper 40 is provided at a position deeper than the cowl outer front panel 34 (substantially on the vehicle lower side) by the engagement holding portion 70 and the top wall portion 74A.

（実施形態の作用・効果）
次に、上記実施形態の作用及び効果を説明する。 (Operation and effect of the embodiment)
Next, the operation and effect of the above embodiment will be described.

図３に示されるように、ダッシュパネル２２の取付縦壁面２２Ａ側に設けられる係合保持部７０は、車幅方向内側が開放されてワイパ作動機構４８側の突起部６４を差し込み可能な開放部７０Ａとされており、突起部６４が差し込まれた状態では、図２に示されるように、ワイパ作動機構４８を保持するので、ワイパ４０の組付時には、突起部６４（図３参照）が係合保持部７０に開放部７０Ａから差し込まれることで、ワイパ作動機構４８が保持（又は仮保持）される。この保持状態では、図６に示されるように、係合保持部７０がワイパ作動機構４８側の突起部６４と共に閉断面７２を形成するので、係合保持部７０の剛性が確保され、例えば、取付縦壁面２２Ａに対して略垂直方向の入力荷重が作用した場合であっても、係合保持部７０は殆ど変形することなくワイパ作動機構４８を保持する。   As shown in FIG. 3, the engagement holding portion 70 provided on the attachment vertical wall surface 22 </ b> A side of the dash panel 22 is an open portion that is open on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and into which the protrusion 64 on the wiper operation mechanism 48 side can be inserted. In the state in which the projection 64 is inserted, the wiper operating mechanism 48 is held as shown in FIG. 2, so that the projection 64 (see FIG. 3) is engaged when the wiper 40 is assembled. The wiper operating mechanism 48 is held (or temporarily held) by being inserted into the combined holding unit 70 from the opening 70A. In this holding state, as shown in FIG. 6, the engagement holding part 70 forms a closed section 72 together with the protrusion 64 on the wiper operating mechanism 48 side, so that the rigidity of the engagement holding part 70 is ensured, for example, Even when a substantially vertical input load is applied to the vertical mounting wall surface 22A, the engagement holding portion 70 holds the wiper operating mechanism 48 with almost no deformation.

また、図２に示されるように、サスペンションタワー２０上のブラケット７４における取付面７６がダッシュパネル２２の取付縦壁面２２Ａに対して略垂直な面を面方向として配置され、この取付面７６にワイパ作動機構４８の張出取付部６６が取り付けられ（ワイパ作動機構４８側の取付点の一つが設定され）るので、ワイパ４０の組付時には、互いに略垂直な取付縦壁面２２Ａ及び取付面７６の二方向の面によって車体取付け側に対するワイパ作動機構４８の位置決めが容易になると共に、ワイパ作動機構４８が係合保持部７０での係合及び頂壁部７４Ａでの固定によってより安定的に保持される。   As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting surface 76 of the bracket 74 on the suspension tower 20 is arranged with the surface substantially perpendicular to the mounting vertical wall surface 22 </ b> A of the dash panel 22. Since the overhang attachment portion 66 of the operation mechanism 48 is attached (one attachment point on the wiper operation mechanism 48 side is set), when the wiper 40 is assembled, the attachment vertical wall surface 22A and the attachment surface 76 that are substantially perpendicular to each other are attached. The two-way surface facilitates positioning of the wiper operating mechanism 48 with respect to the vehicle body mounting side, and the wiper operating mechanism 48 is more stably held by engagement with the engagement holding portion 70 and fixation with the top wall portion 74A. The

このように、本実施形態のワイパ取付構造によれば、互いに略垂直な取付縦壁面２２Ａ及び取付面７６の二方向の面によって、ワイパ４０の組付時におけるワイパ作動機構４８の位置決めを容易にすることができ、カウルアウタフロントパネル３４（Ａカウル）下にワイパ作動機構４８が配置されるワイパ４０が組付時に落下するのを防止又は抑制することができる。   As described above, according to the wiper mounting structure of the present embodiment, the wiper operating mechanism 48 can be easily positioned when the wiper 40 is assembled by the two vertical surfaces of the mounting vertical wall surface 22A and the mounting surface 76 that are substantially perpendicular to each other. It is possible to prevent or suppress the wiper 40 in which the wiper operating mechanism 48 is disposed under the cowl outer front panel 34 (A cowl) from dropping during assembly.

また、ワイパ４０の作動時には、ワイパ４０は、取付縦壁面２２Ａ及び取付面７６の二方向の面に反力を取ることができ、ワイパ４０からの荷重が取付縦壁面２２Ａ及び取付面７６に分散して受け持たれる。特に本実施形態では、取付縦壁面２２Ａは、ワイパ４０の作動時にワイパ４０側から車体側へ荷重を伝達するピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略平行であり、取付面７６は、ピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略垂直であるので、ワイパ４０の作動時には、ワイパ４０は、ピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略平行な取付縦壁面２２Ａ及びピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略垂直な取付面７６の二方向の面において有効に反力を取ることができる。また、ピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略垂直な方向の荷重入力は、取付縦壁面２２Ａに対して略垂直な方向（すなわち、面外変形方向）の荷重入力となるが、図６に示されるように、係合保持部７０がワイパ作動機構４８の突起部６４と共に閉断面７２を形成しているので、係合保持部７０は殆ど変形することなくワイパ作動機構４８を保持することができる。   Further, when the wiper 40 is operated, the wiper 40 can take reaction forces on the two surfaces of the mounting vertical wall surface 22A and the mounting surface 76, and the load from the wiper 40 is distributed to the mounting vertical wall surface 22A and the mounting surface 76. And will take charge. In particular, in the present embodiment, the mounting vertical wall surface 22A is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pivot shafts 50A and 50B that transmit a load from the wiper 40 side to the vehicle body side when the wiper 40 is operated, and the mounting surface 76 is the pivot shaft 50A. 50B is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pivot shafts 50A and 50B. When the wiper 40 is operated, the wiper 40 is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting vertical wall surface 22A and the pivot shafts 50A and 50B substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pivot shafts 50A and 50B. The reaction force can be effectively taken in the two directions of the mounting surface 76. Further, the load input in the direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pivot shafts 50A and 50B becomes the load input in the direction substantially perpendicular to the mounting vertical wall surface 22A (that is, the out-of-plane deformation direction), as shown in FIG. As described above, since the engagement holding portion 70 forms the closed section 72 together with the protrusion 64 of the wiper operating mechanism 48, the engagement holding portion 70 can hold the wiper operating mechanism 48 with almost no deformation. .

また、図２に示されるように、係合保持部７０でのワイパ作動機構４８の保持位置７０Ｘ、及び取付面７６でのワイパ作動機構４８の取付位置７６Ｘは、下面取付部８０でのワイパ作動機構４８の取付位置８０Ｘよりもワイパアーム４２（図１参照）側の反対側にオフセットされるので、図１に示されるワイパ４０の作動時には、ワイパアーム４２から離れた位置でワイパアーム４２からの荷重を小さい力で効果的に受け止め、すなわち、ワイパアーム４２の反力をオフセットモーメント長の作用により受け持つため、下面取付部８０（図１２参照）に加わる荷重負担を少なくすることができる。   As shown in FIG. 2, the holding position 70 </ b> X of the wiper operating mechanism 48 at the engagement holding portion 70 and the mounting position 76 </ b> X of the wiper operating mechanism 48 at the mounting surface 76 are the wiper operation at the lower surface mounting portion 80. Since it is offset to the opposite side of the wiper arm 42 (see FIG. 1) side from the mounting position 80X of the mechanism 48, when the wiper 40 shown in FIG. 1 is operated, the load from the wiper arm 42 is small at a position away from the wiper arm 42. Since the force is effectively received, that is, the reaction force of the wiper arm 42 is received by the action of the offset moment length, the load applied to the lower surface mounting portion 80 (see FIG. 12) can be reduced.

また、図６に示されるように、ダッシュパネル２２側にワイパ作動機構４８の取付点を設けることで、カウルアウタフロントパネル３４（Ａカウル）とダッシュアッパパネル２４との取付点Ａでのモーメントを、ダッシュパネル側にワイパ作動機構の取付点を設けない対比構造と比べて小さくすることができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, by providing the attachment point of the wiper operating mechanism 48 on the dash panel 22 side, the moment at the attachment point A between the cowl outer front panel 34 (A cowl) and the dash upper panel 24 can be increased. Thus, it can be made smaller than the comparison structure in which the attachment point of the wiper operating mechanism is not provided on the dash panel side.

これらの結果として、図３に示されるカウルアウタフロントパネル３４の板厚ダウンや補強部材の廃止が可能になり、コスト削減及び車両の軽量化を図ることができる。   As a result, the thickness of the cowl outer front panel 34 shown in FIG. 3 can be reduced and the reinforcing member can be eliminated, so that the cost can be reduced and the weight of the vehicle can be reduced.

なお、カウル下にワイパ作動機構を配置すると共にＡカウルにのみワイパを組み付けた対比例では、雪だまり時のワイパ作動入力に対する剛性を確保するために、ワイパとＡカウルとの締結点（取付点）を多くして荷重分担を図っており、前記締結点数は、通常四点の場合が多いが、本実施形態では、ワイパ４０をいずれも高剛性部位とされるダッシュパネル２２側及びサスペンションタワー２０側で各一点ずつ保持（サスペンションタワー２０側では締結）すると共に、カウルアウタフロントパネル３４の一点で締結することにより、締結（締付）点数を削減することができる。   In addition, when the wiper operation mechanism is disposed under the cowl and the wiper is assembled only in the A cowl, the fastening point (attachment point) between the wiper and the A cowl is secured in order to ensure rigidity against the wiper operation input during a snowdrift. ) To increase the load sharing, and the number of fastening points is usually four in many cases. In this embodiment, the wiper 40 is a highly rigid part and the suspension panel 20 and the suspension tower 20 side. By holding each one point on the side (fastening on the suspension tower 20 side) and fastening at one point on the cowl outer front panel 34, the number of fastening (tightening) points can be reduced.

（実施形態の補足説明）
なお、上記実施形態では、図２に示されるワイパ作動機構４８の略幅方向中央部（突起部６４（図３参照））に対応して、ダッシュパネル２２の取付縦壁面２２Ａ側にワイパ作動機構４８の保持用となる保持部としての係合保持部７０が１個設けられると共に、ワイパ作動機構４８の取付用の頂壁部７４Ａ及び下面取付部８０が設けられているが、例えば、ワイパ作動機構が幅方向中央部の左右両側に突起部６４のような被保持部を備えると共に壁面としての取付縦壁面２２Ａに係合保持部７０のような保持部を被保持部に対応して左右に設け、頂壁部７４Ａを設けない構成にしてもよい。このような構成でも、ワイパ作動機構をバランス良く支持することができる。 (Supplementary explanation of the embodiment)
In the above embodiment, the wiper operation mechanism is provided on the side of the vertical wall surface 22A of the dash panel 22 corresponding to the substantially central portion in the width direction (protrusion 64 (see FIG. 3)) of the wiper operation mechanism 48 shown in FIG. One engaging holding portion 70 as a holding portion for holding 48 is provided, and a top wall portion 74A and a lower surface attaching portion 80 for attaching the wiper operating mechanism 48 are provided. The mechanism is provided with held parts such as protrusions 64 on both the left and right sides of the central portion in the width direction, and a holding part such as an engagement holding part 70 is attached to the mounting vertical wall surface 22A as a wall surface to the left and right corresponding to the held part. However, the top wall portion 74A may not be provided. Even with such a configuration, the wiper operating mechanism can be supported in a well-balanced manner.

また、上記実施形態では、保持部としての係合保持部７０が車両正面視で車幅方向内側に開放された略Ｕ字状とされているが、保持部は、例えば、車両正面視で屈曲等されてかつ車両下方側等に開放されたような他の形状の保持部であってもよい。また、カウルアウタフロントパネル３４との距離が確保できれば、保持部は車両上方や斜めに開放されていてもよい。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the engagement holding | maintenance part 70 as a holding | maintenance part is made into the substantially U shape open | released inside the vehicle width direction by vehicle front view, a holding | maintenance part is bent by vehicle front view, for example. It may be a holding portion of another shape that is equal and opened to the vehicle lower side or the like. Further, as long as the distance from the cowl outer front panel 34 can be secured, the holding portion may be opened above the vehicle or obliquely.

さらに、上記実施形態では、壁面としての取付縦壁面２２Ａがピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略平行であると共に、取付面７６がピボット軸５０Ａ、５０Ｂの軸方向に略垂直となっており、このような形態がより好ましいが、例えば、壁面がワイパの作動時に当該ワイパ側から車体側へ荷重を伝達する回転軸の軸方向に略平行でなく、取付面が回転軸の軸方向に略垂直でないような構成であってもよい。   Further, in the above embodiment, the mounting vertical wall surface 22A as the wall surface is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the pivot shafts 50A and 50B, and the mounting surface 76 is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pivot shafts 50A and 50B. Although such a form is more preferable, for example, the wall surface is not substantially parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft that transmits a load from the wiper side to the vehicle body side when the wiper is operated, and the mounting surface is substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The structure which is not so may be sufficient.
