A joint member capable of easily and firmly joining a wiper arm of various types (mainly the U-hook type) to a wiper blade main-body at low cost. The joint member 20 includes a fitting member 21 which a U-hook portion 11 of a wiper arm 10 fits to, a fixing member 22 which holds the hook portion 11 between the fixing member and the fitting member 21 , and a flexible connecting portion 23 which connects a rear end 21 B of the fitting member 21 and a rear end 22 B of the fixing member 22 together. The fitting member 21 is rotatably mounted on a mounting pin 9 of a wiper blade main-body 1 and the angles of the wiper arm 10 and the wiper blade can be changed appropriately during mounting work. The U-hook portion 11 is held between a front transverse plate 41 of the fixing member 21 and a front end 21 A of the fitting member 21 . Both side plates 42 and 43 of the fixing member 21 abut against side portions 2 B and 2 C of the wiper blade main-body 1 so that a vibration between the wiper arm 10 and the wiper blade is prevented.
