Abstract: Provided is a bearing device capable of suppressing corrosion for a long time. The bearing device is for use in a wiper arm to pivotably attach a retainer to an arm head. The bearing device includes an outer bushing press-fitted into a hinge portion of the arm head, an inner bushing rotatably inserted into a bore in the outer bushing, and a rivet inserted into a bore in the inner bushing to secure the retainer and the inner bushing together integrally. Thus, a hinge portion of the retainer, the inner bushing, and the rivet are pivotable relative to the hinge portion of the arm head and the outer bushing. The outer bushing has an inside bushing part and an outside bushing part provided around the outer periphery of the inside bushing part and joined to the inside bushing part. The joint surface of the inside bushing part and the joint surface of the outside bushing part are joined to each other by interatomic bonding. The outside bushing part is formed of the same material as that of the arm head.

Abstract: An arm head of a windshield wiper device is provided on a backside thereof with an undulated groove formed by sidewalls. The sidewalls have plural hill portions protruding in opposite directions alternately in a width direction of the arm head so as to be opposed to one another in a longitudinal direction thereof. Tops of the hill portions on one width side of the arm head are integrally provided at upper surfaces thereof with projections extending perpendicularly to a depth direction of the groove to overhang the groove. A hose for delivering washer liquid to a washer nozzle is accommodated in the groove and firmly held by the hill portions and the projections without using an extra part such as a clip.
