A windshield wiper arm includes: an arm piece to which a wiper blade wiping a wiping surface is connected; a hose supplied with washer fluid; and a washer nozzle connected to the hose and mounted on the arm piece on the base end side with respect to a portion connected to the wiper blade. The washer nozzle includes: a first flowpath extending in a longitudinal direction; a second flowpath connected to the first flowpath and extending in a wiping direction which intersects the longitudinal direction, and in which the wiper blade can move when wiping the wiping surface; a third flowpath connected to the second flowpath and extending in a vertical direction which is along a normal line of the wiping surface while intersecting the longitudinal direction and the wiping direction; and a fitting groove into which the arm piece is fitted and which extends along the longitudinal direction.

A wiper arm and a wiper for a vehicle, and a vehicle are disclosed. The wiper arm of a wiper for a vehicle has a wiper arm seat for connecting to a driver, a wiper arm end piece for holding a wiper blade of the wiper, and an arm portion arranged between the wiper arm seat and the wiper arm end piece. The arm portion is fixedly connected to the wiper arm end piece and can rotate relative to the wiper arm seat, the wiper arm is provided with at least one spray unit, wherein the spray unit is provided with a conduit and a spray nozzle, the conduit being guided along the wiper arm, and the spray nozzle being arranged at one end of the conduit, wherein the arm portion is provided with a cover plate, and the spray nozzle is at least held at the cover plate.

The invention relates to a tube holder for a wiper arm, comprising a bracket, a positively locking closure and a tube receptacle as well as a wiper receptacle, wherein the bracket can be folded onto the tube receptacle so that the wiper receptacle can be closed by the bracket, the bracket being fixed onto the wiper receptacle by means of the closure.

A wiper assembly (100) is provided, comprising a wiper arm (110), a wiper blade (120), and a coupling device (130) configured to enable connection of the wiper blade (120) to the wiper arm (110), wherein the coupling device (130) comprises a first part (140) being connected to one of said wiper arm (110) or said wiper blade (120), and a second part (150) being connected to the other one of said wiper arm (110) or said wiper blade (120). The first part (140) comprises an engaging section (142) being configured to provide an axial fixation of the first part (140) relative the second part (150), and at least one recess (144) configured to provide a rotational fixation of the first part (140) relative the second part (150), and wherein the second part (150) comprises a receiving section (152) configured to receive the engaging section (142) of the first part (140), a locking device (160) arranged radially outwards of said first part (140) and comprising at least one radial protrusion (162) configured to fit with said recess (144) of the first part (140), and a wall (170) surrounding said locking device (160), wherein said wall (170) comprises a constricted section (172) whereby an inner wall (174) of said constricted section (172) is configured to press the radial protrusion (162) radially inwards when the constricted section (172) is axially aligned with the radial protrusion (162).

A wiper including wiper bracket which couples a wiper arm to blade carrier which carries one or more blades and includes an internal flow path which conducts fluid from a wiper bracket inlet through a hollow passage in a wiper blade carrier cover to plurality of outlets aligned with passthroughs in the blade carrier through which fluid egresses from the wiper.

A method of monitoring a windshield of a vehicle including: capturing an image of a windshield of a vehicle; determining that debris is located on the windshield in response to the image of the windshield; determining a location of the debris on the windshield; determining to remove the debris from the windshield; and actuating a drive motor of a wiper system to clean the location, the drive motor being operably connected to a wiper arm having a wiper blade.

A cleaning device for a surface, such as a windshield of a vehicle, has a housing that holds a spray bar, rotatable brush and a wiper blade. An engagement mechanism moves spray bar, the brush, and the wiper blade out from a disengaged position within the housing to an engaged position outside the housing so that they can be used to clean, brush, and dry the surface. After the spray bar, brush, and wiper blade are used to, respectively, clean, brush, and dry the surface, the engagement mechanism then moves the spray bar, the brush, and the wiper blade to a disengaged position within the housing.

Window wiping device for a motor vehicle comprising at least one link (2, 3), a mobile arm (6) adapted to be mounted on the vehicle by said link (2, 3) and effect an angular to-and-fro movement (A), a flexible washing liquid feed tube (16), rigidly fastened to said mobile arm (6), which device is characterized in that it further comprises a means (20) for limitation of a curvature assumed by said flexible feed tube (16) configured to surround the flexible feed tube (16) so as to prevent it cracking.

Base end sides of washer tubes 44, 45 are arranged in an axial direction of a swinging shaft PS at one end portion of an arm head 40, and they are drawn out from a head side pipe housing portion 41a so as to curve toward a side opposite to a shaft fixing portion 42 side. Each of the washer tubes 44, 45 is wound around the shaft fixing portion 42 during swinging of the arm head 40 without applying any load to the swinging shaft PS. No tension acts on each of the washer tubes 44, 45, and each of the washer tubes 44, 45 is not rubbed against the shaft fixing portion 42. Therefore, deterioration of the washer tubes 44, 45 can be suppressed. When the washer tubes 44, 45 are wound around the shaft fixing portion 42, a periphery of the shaft fixing portion 42 is suppressed from swelling outward in a radial direction thereof. This makes it possible to prevent the arm head 40 around the swinging shaft PS from increasing in size.
