A windshield wiper structure includes a fixing frame, a support plate and a blade. The fixing frame includes a fixing seat and a pivot disposed on the fixing seat. The support plate is combined on a bottom side of the fixing seat and includes multiple bend sections connected with each other and extended oppositely from the fixing seat. Each bend section has a bending length. A bending angle is defined between adjacent two of the bend sections. The blade is combined on a bottom surface of the support plate. Therefore, the blade may be uniformly pressed to flatly contact with a glass surface to remove rain or debris on the glass surface.

A vehicular windshield wiper control system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing through a windshield of the vehicle and an electronic control unit (ECU). Electronic circuitry of the ECU includes an image processor. The system, based on processing of image data captured by the camera, is operable to determine presence of a substance at an outer surface of the windshield. The system includes a windshield wiper having a rubber wiping blade and a cleaning element. The system is operable to (i) cause the rubber wiping blade to engage the windshield and/or (ii) cause the cleaning element to engage the windshield. Responsive to determining presence of the substance, the system causes the cleaning element to engage the windshield. With the rubber wiping blade and/or cleaning element engaging the outer surface of the windshield, the system moves the rubber wiping blade and/or cleaning element along the windshield.

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (10a; 10b) for a windshield wiper (12a; 12b), comprising at least one wiper arm adapter (14a; 14b), at least one wiper blade adapter (16a; 16b), and a heating unit (18a; 18b) for heating a wiper blade (20a; 20b) and/or a spray unit (22a; 22b) for spraying a wash fluid onto a vehicle windshield, wherein the spray unit (22a; 22b) and/or the heating unit (18a; 18b) is/are at least partly arranged in the wiper blade adapter (16a; 16b). The wiper arm adapter (14a; 14b) and the wiper blade adapter (16a; 16b) have coupling elements (24a, 26a; 24b, 26b) which are provided for laterally coupling the wiper arm adapter (14a; 14b) to the wiper blade adapter (16a; 16b).

A control device executes a process including a step of determining whether a first state is established, a step of acquiring an operating state of a wiper of a surrounding vehicle when the first state is determined to be established, a step of determining whether rainfall of which rainfall amount is equal to or more than a predetermined amount is predicted, and a step of executing elevating control when the rainfall of which rainfall amount is equal to or more than the predetermined amount is predicted.

A window wiper assembly for cleaning a surface of a vehicle window, which includes a guide rail mountable to a frame member supporting the window, a wiper arm having an elongate body configured with an opening and integrally connecting to a head portion for mounting thereto wheel assemblies capable of traversing interiorly within the guide rail, a glide post having a wheeled portion for slidably interacting with an integrated rail associated with the opening, a wiper blade assembly mounted to a bottom side of the elongate body, and a pivot arm equipped with first and second mount fittings respectively connecting to a shaft of the glide post and an output shaft of a wiper drive motor, whereby rotation of the output shaft aptly acts on the pivot arm to advance lateral movement of the wiper arm along the guide rail with that of the wiper blade assembly to effect entire surface cleaning of the window.

The invention relates to a wiper blade (10), in particular for a motor vehicle. Said wiper blade comprises a heating device with an elongated heating element (28). According to the invention, the heating element (28) comprises at least one loop (34).

A wiper blade apparatus having at least one wiper lip for wiping a window in a first wiping direction at least substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the wiper lip and a second wiping direction at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wiper lip, having at least one wiper bar unit and having at least one heating unit which is arranged partially at a wiping up side, facing the first wiping direction, of the wiper bar unit and which is arranged partially at a wiping down side, facing the second wiping direction, of the wiper bar unit. It is proposed that the at least one heating unit be constructed to achieve a different heating power at the wiping up side of the wiper bar unit from at the wiping down side.

Fluid connection (12) for a wiper blade (14) of a windshield wiping system, wherein a heating element (16) is arranged in a lumen (18) and protrudes from an opening (18) of the lumen (18), wherein a tubular sealing means (10) is able to be arranged on the opening (20) and closes the opening (20) in a fluid-tight manner and fixes the heating means (16).
