Abstract: A molding die has a lower holder, an intermediate holder, an upper holder, a lock member, an upper link bar, a lower link bar, a restriction member, and a drive part. A movement of the lock member in a molding die opening direction or a molding die closing direction is restricted by the intermediate holder. The upper link bar has a first retaining groove in which the lock member fits when being located at a molding die closing position. The lower link bar has a second retaining groove in which the lock member fits and a release portion that enables the lock member to be released from the first retaining groove. The restriction member is movable between a restriction position that prevents the lock member from fitting in the second retaining groove and a free position that enables the lock member to fit in the second retaining groove.

Abstract: A wiper device equipped with a rise up mechanism, including a motor, a blade, a wiper pivot, a motor arm which rotates in one direction during the starting and wiping operations of the blade and which rotates in a reverse direction during the parking and stopping operations of the blade, a connecting rod reciprocating in response to the rotation of the motor arm to swing the wiper pivot, a retainer for retaining the connecting rod, an eccentric member for rotating together with or relative to the retainer, a friction spring disposed between the eccentric member and the retainer for permitting the rotation of the eccentric member relative to the retainer only just after the starting of the blade or just before the parking and stopping of the blade, and a cam mechanism for rotating the eccentric member together with the retainer during all operations except the operation during which the eccentric member rotates relative to the retainer just after the starting of the blade or just before the parking and stoppin
