Abstract
A wiper assembly for use in vehicles is provided, including a shaft which is connected to a driving motor via a linkage and rotated by the driving motor, an arm head including a shaft hole into which the shaft is inserted, an arm having one end combined with the arm head by a rotating shaft and rotatable about the rotating shaft and the other end combined with a wiper blade which wipes a window of a vehicle, a locking member which is supported by the arm head and movable between a locking location where the locking member is locked in the shaft so that the shaft cannot be separated from the shaft hole of the arm head and an unlocking location where the locking member is unlocked from the shaft so that the shaft can be separated from the shaft hole of the arm head, and a locking member moving unit which moves in gear with a rotation of the arm so as to move the locking member between the locking location and the unlocking location. Accordingly, the shaft and the arm head of the wiper assembly can be simply combined with each other and separated from each other.
