A cab of a work vehicle includes a front windshield that extends in a vehicle width direction; front lateral windshields that extends diagonally rearward and is connected to both sides of the front windshield in the vehicle width direction via ridgelines, and a rear-end edge of each front lateral windshield extending in a vertical direction being gradually separated from the ridgeline of each front lateral windshield while extending downward; a front lateral wiper that is disposed so as to be rotatable around an upper axis that is disposed above each front lateral windshield and so as to be rotatable along each front lateral windshield; an upper drive device that is configured to reciprocally rotate the front lateral wiper around the upper axis between a rear position in and a front position.

A vehicular wiper device includes a first wiper arm, a first drive source, a rocking mechanism, a second drive source, an extension and retraction mechanism, and a control unit. A first wiper blade for wiping a surface to be wiped of a vehicle is connected to the front end of the first wiper arm. The first drive source is directly or indirectly affixed to the vehicle body. The rocking mechanism is driven by the drive force of the first drive source and reciprocates and rocks the first wiper arm. The second drive source is directly or indirectly affixed to the vehicle body separately from the first drive source. The extension and retraction mechanism is driven by the drive force of the second drive source and extends and retracts the first wiper arm in the longitudinal direction thereof. The control unit controls the drive of the first drive source and the second drive source so that the extension and retraction operation of the first wiper arm performed by the extension and retraction mechanism will correspond to the rocking operation of the first wiper arm performed by the rocking mechanism.

A wiping device for wiping an optical element clean of water or of particles includes a housing and a wiping element able to undergo a movement with respect to the housing, where the wiping device is configured to move in such a manner that such movement is caused by coupling a first unit in or on the wiping element with a second unit in the housing via a time-variable electromagnetic field. The wiping device may be used for wiping the surface of a lens or of a window, which lens or window is transmissive to visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and/or infrared radiation, and is preferably placed in front or as part of a camera. In addition, a rear view device or driver assistant device for use in or on a vehicle including such a wiping device, and a method for wiping an optical element are provided.

The invention relates to a device (2) for wiping a window of a motor vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (4) rotated by a drive shaft (6) which is arranged at the output of a motor assembly (8) capable of creating an alternating rotational movement of said drive shaft. The wiping device also comprises means for translating the motor assembly, and some of said drive means are supported by the drive shaft. In this way, it is the rotation of the drive shaft that translates the motor assembly. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising such a wiping device and to a structural element, in particular a boot door, to which the device is attached.

A vehicle wiper system includes a plurality of first sensor elements, an adjustable wiper, and a second sensor. The plurality of first sensor elements is configured to be disposed at a periphery of a vehicle window to form a boundary. The adjustable wiper has a distal end and a proximal end, and an adjustment mechanism that enables a distance between the distal end and the proximal end to change. The adjustable wiper is configured to travel along a windshield to define a wiper path. The second sensor element is disposed adjacent the distal end, and is configured to operate in conjunction with the first sensor element to adjust the adjustable wiper such that a distance between the distal end and the proximal end changes, and a distance between the distal end of the wiper and the boundary remains substantially consistent as the adjustable wiper travels along the wiper path.

A windshield wiper assembly includes a telescoping wiper head having a first section fixed to a pivot drive shaft and a second section capable of translating relative to the first section between an extended position and a retracted position. A curvilinear guide rail engages the second section and guides the second section between the extended and retracted positions. A wiper blade is carried on the second section. Advantageously the wiper assembly functions to provide enhanced wiper coverage over the Zone B portion of the windscreen through which the occupants view is typically directed.
