ABSTRACT:
A wiper controller comprises a power source, a wiper drive mechanism, a power storage device having one potential detecting point, a charge circuit connected between the storage device and the power source, for charging the storage device. A discharge circuit is provided in parallel with the storage device for discharging the storage device. A drive control device controls the wiper through the drive mechanism. Either the charge circuit or the discharge circuit includes a switch for disconnecting that circuit. The other circuit includes a resistor for determining a corresponding charge or discharge time and for respectively charging or discharging the storage device. The present wiper controller further includes a switch control device for controlling the switch. The drive control device allows the wiper to reciprocate, when the potential at the detecting point reaches a predetermined value. The switch control device sets the switch on for a predetermined period of time after one reciprocative action of the wiper is completed, so that the battery is charged (or discharged) to initialize the potential at the detecting point.
