A windshield wiper assembly for a dual sweep angle and indexable wiper system is provided. The system includes a wiper motor and a wiper arm for sweeping a surface of a windshield coupled to a first eccentric, the first eccentric comprising a primary eccentric and an indexable eccentric plate, wherein the indexable eccentric plate determines an eccentric offset of the wiper arm coupled to the first eccentric. The system further includes an output wiper shaft coupled to the wiper arm, a second eccentric coupled to a cam shaft, and a link coupled to the first eccentric and the second eccentric, the link having a first effective link arm length between the first eccentric and the second eccentric for driving the first eccentric to operate the wiper arm when operated in a first direction.

The present invention refers a system and a method for automatically cleaning an optic lens mounted on a vehicle, by spraying a washing liquid to remove any type of dirt from the lens such as a clear image or optic signal can be captured anytime, where an air pump is provided including a variable volume compression chamber to pressurize a volume of air, and a washing liquid conduit is communicated with a liquid nozzle and with the air pump, such as the air pump can be operated by the flow of pressurized washing liquid, such as the same flow of pressurized washing liquid is used to clean the optic surface, and to operate the air pump and generate a blast of air to blow off any liquid drop from the optic lens.

Windscreen wiper device for windscreens with variable curvature, comprising a secondary shaft rotating about its secondary axis between starting and final secondary positions, and a primary shaft on which the wiper blade arm is mounted rotating in an alternating manner about its own primary axis between starting and final primary positions. The primary shaft is mounted in the secondary shaft, such that their Corresponding axes form a first acute angle () with respect to one another. The device further comprises a delay device kinematically connecting the driving means with the secondary shaft to cause rotation in the secondary shaft such that when the primary shaft has performed 50% of the rotation between the starting primary position and the final primary position, the secondary shaft has performed between 0% and 30% of the rotation between the starting secondary position and said final secondary position.
