The present disclosure relates to an indicator for a wiper blade and a wiper blade. The indicator is a device for a wiper blade detachably provided on a wiper arm for cleaning a windshield, including: a main body provided on the wiper blade or the wiper arm; a notifier provided in the main body and configured to generate a light signal that is identifiable with naked eyes; and a controller configured to control an operation of the notifier, wherein the controller is configured to count the accumulated time from a start time at which an external operation is input regardless of whether the wiper blade operates so as to operate the notifier when the accumulated time reaches a predetermine time.

Provided is a compact and high-strength cab capable of securing an excellent field of view for work. The cab includes a guard protecting a cab body, and a wiper having a blade to wipe a front window member and a blade actuator for actuating the blade. The guard includes a pair of side pillars and an actuator housing beam interconnecting the side pillars and housing the blade actuator. The actuator housing beam includes a hollow beam body formed with a body opening and a front-rear partition plate partitioning the inside of the beam body into front and rear sections. The body opening allows the blade actuator to be assembled to the front-rear partition plate therethrough.

The invention relates to a cleaning unit for cleaning a sensor window pane of an optical sensing device of a motor vehicle. The optical sensing device can preferably be for optical distance measurement, more preferably it can be a LiDAR sensor device. The cleaning unit comprises a wiper blade. The cleaning unit further comprises at least a first scraper for scraping impediments off the wiper blade. The cleaning unit is arranged for wiping the wiper blade over the sensor window pane. The cleaning unit is further arranged for moving at least one of the wiper blade and the first scraper with respect to each other and along each other for scraping impediments off the wiper blade.

An electrical device controller includes a processor, and a memory for storing a program executed by the processor. The processor controls the electrical device in multiple operation modes including an automatic mode which automatically changes the operation state of the electrical device and a stop mode which stops the electrical device, controls the electrical device in an operation mode specified with an operating member operated by an occupant when the vehicle is manually driven, controls the operation state of the electrical device in the automatic mode regardless of the operation mode specified with the operating member when the vehicle is autonomously driven, and sets the operation mode of the electrical device at least temporarily to the stop mode when the operation mode specified with the operation member is switched to the stop mode from an operation mode other than the stop mode, when the vehicle is autonomously driven.

An apparatus for protecting a sensor includes: a housing accommodating the sensor to allow a sensing plane of the sensor to be exposed, and mounted on an installation object, a protective film disposed to face a sensing plane of the sensor, and a moving unit installed in the housing and moving the protective film while the protective film is maintained with respect to the sensing plane of the sensor.

A method of calibrating a windshield wiper system that includes moving a wiper arm, of the windshield wiper system, within at least a portion of a full range of motion defined by at least one physical boundary, determining a position of the wiper arm when it contacts the at least one physical boundary, defining, based on the determined position of the wiper arm, an operating range of motion for the wiper arm that is shorter than the full range of motion, and setting the wiper arm to operate within the defined operating range of motion.

A wiper device (10a-10c) is proposed comprising at least one wind deflector unit (12a-12c) and comprising at least one channel unit (18a-18c) integrated into the at least one wind deflector unit (12a-12c), and comprising at least one wiper blade adapter (20a-20c) which includes at least one adapter attachment (24a-24c) and at least one adapter base body (22a-22c) and is configured to be coupled to at least one wiper arm (110a-110c). It is proposed that the wiper device (10a-10c) comprise a fluid supply unit (38a-38c) which is configured to supply wiper fluid to the channel unit (18a-18c) and comprises at least one coupling end piece (40a-40c) for latching connection to the at least one adapter attachment (24a-24c).

An attachment for a wiper arm of a windscreen wiper of a vehicle, having a rod arm, comprises a fluid channel for conducting a fluid and a first dimensionally stable element, wherein a first fluid channel section is formed in the first dimensionally stable element. The attachment also comprises a second dimensionally stable element, wherein a second fluid channel section is formed in the second dimensionally stable element. A wiper arm including the attachment is also disclosed.

A motor vehicle wiper blade includes a spoiler which extends along a longitudinal direction and a lip disposed on the spoiler. The spoiler has, along the longitudinal direction, a cutout which extends in a direction of the lip. The motor vehicle wiper blade has an inner circle side and an outer circle side. The cutout is disposed on the inner circle side of the motor vehicle wiper blade and there is no cutout on the outer circle side of the motor vehicle wiper blade.
