Windscreen wiper device
A windscreen wiper device for cleaning a windshield of a vehicle is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper strip extending in a longitudinal direction between opposite wiper strip ends, and the wiper strip is of a flexible material such as rubber for sealing against the windshield. At least one carrier element is disposed in the grooves and extends in a longitudinal direction between opposite carrier element ends. The windscreen wiper device further includes a frame structure including a plurality of claws in sliding engagement with the carrier element or elements and wherein the frame structure extends longitudinally past the ends of the wiper strip and the carrier element or elements. The frame structure includes a pair of flange portions that restrict the movement of the carrier element and the wiper strip relative to the frame structure.

Windshield wiper system
A windshield wiper system (3) for a windshield (1) having a curved surface and an oscillating gear drive (2) with a central park position (A). Said system (3) comprises at least one wiper arm (13) and wiper blades (5), said wiper blades (5) being mounted by means of said at least one wiper arm (13) to said oscillating gear drive (2). The windshield (1) and the wiper blade lips (11) have a frictional coefficient (). Two wiper arms (13), two wiper blades (5) each with a fit bolt (20), bearing bushes (10), a prolongation fitting (7) and a rocker (6) are provided. Said two wiper blades (5) are mounted rotatable about a wiper blade rotation axis (9), perpendicular to said oscillatory axis (V) and said longitudinal axis (U). Said wiper blade rotation axis (9) is defined by a center line through the fit bolts (20) mounted opposed to each other on said two wiper blades (5) being essentially parallel with a distance (a) to each other. Said rocker (6) rotatable attaches each of the two wiper blades (5) by means of the fit bolt (12). The prolongation fitting (7) rotatable attaches the rocker (6) to the wiper arms (13). The fit bolt (12) with the rocker (6) defines a rocker rotation axis (8) in a plane defined by said oscillatory axis (V) and said longitudinal axis (U) with an inclination angle to the outer surface of the windshield (1) in the central park position (A) providing a distance (b) direct under the wiper blades rotation axis (9) between the windshield (1) and the rocker rotation axis (8) perpendicular to the windshield (1) in the central park position (A) fulfilling
Windscreen wiper connector with internal electrical contact forming a spring
Connector for retaining a wiper (3) on a windscreen wiper arm, including an internal electrical connection device between, on the one hand, an electrical connector connected to the electrical circuit of the vehicle and, on the other hand, at least one heating element (11) deposited on a reinforcement (20) implanted in said wiper, characterized in that said internal connecting device includes at least one metal part (10) extending perpendicularly to the heating element (11) and exerting pressure against it so as to ensure a permanent contact with said heating element (11).
Variable airfoil profile hollow wiper arms
A wiper apparatus includes a wiper axis interface configured for mounting a wiper assembly to a wiper drive. A lower wiper arm extends from the wiper axis interface to a wiper mount that is configured to connect the lower arm to an upper arm. A first end of the lower wiper arm proximate the wiper axis interface has a first airfoil profile and wall thickness. A second end of the lower wiper arm proximate the wiper mount has a second airfoil profile and wall thickness. An intermediate portion of the lower wiper arm extending between the first and second ends has a transitioning airfoil profile and thickness that transitions from the first airfoil profile and wall thickness to the second airfoil profile and wall thickness.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
A windscreen wiper device is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes an elongated wiper strip of a flexible material for sealing against the windshield and at least one elongated groove. At least one flexible and elongated carrier element is disposed in the at least one groove of the wiper strip for biasing the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration when in a relaxed state. The at least one carrier element presents at least one upwardly facing curve and at least one downwardly facing curve when in a relaxed state.
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SENSOR CLEANING DEVICE
An autonomous driving sensor cleaning device includes a housing assembly; a bracket disposed inside the housing assembly, connected to at least a portion of the housing assembly, and including a camera seating portion; a sensor assembly mounted in the bracket; a cover disposed apart from the sensor assembly and connected to a portion of the housing assembly; a wiper assembly, wherein at least a portion of the wiper assembly is in contact with the cover; a blower assembly adjacent to the wiper assembly and the sensor assembly and including an outlet disposed adjacent to the cover; and a controller configured to control the wiper assembly and the blower assembly.
