Abstract

A wiper blade (18a) has a rubber holder (22) for holding a blade rubber (21). This rubber holder (22) has a connection block (24) coupled to a wiper arm and two sub-holders (25) fixed on both sides of the connection block (24), and the sub-holders (25) each has two rod-shaped spring members (27) curved with curvature radii smaller than that of a front glass and 11 holder pieces (26) fixed to these rod-shaped spring members (27) in a longitudinal direction at a predetermined interval. Further, this rubber holder (22) is formed so that the two sub-holders (25) are coupled to each other via the connection block (24) in the longitudinal direction.
