The invention relates to a wiper arm (10) for a windscreen wiper system of a motor vehicle, with a receiving region (11) for a wiper blade adapter (55), wherein in the receiving region (11) an adapter element (30; 30a) is arranged, serving for the supplying of washing fluid, wherein the adapter element (30; 30a) is able to be connected on the one hand with a supply line (32) for the washing fluid and on the other hand has at least one outlet (34) for the washing fluid, which is able to be connected with the wiper blade adapter (55), wherein the at least one outlet (34) is aligned with a first mounting or respectively dismantling direction (17) of the wiper blade adapter (55).

The invention relates to a wiper arm head (14) for a wiper arm rod (11), with a first end region (178), which has an opening (15) for receiving a drive shaft, and a second end region (179) for the pivotable fastening of the wiper arm rod (11), and with means for directing at least one hose (31, 32) carrying a cleaning fluid. It is provided according to the invention that the means has a feedthrough (181, 182), which leads the hose (31, 32) from an upper side (187) in the direction of an underside (188) of the wiper arm head (14).

Casing (20) for a windscreen wiper drive rod, in particular of a motor vehicle, said casing being configured to cover at least a portion of said drive rod and comprising means for fixing to said drive rod and/or to at least one element (42) linked to said drive rod, characterised in that it further comprises support and guiding means (70) which are configured to cooperate with at least one electric cable (63) and/or at least one fluid line (64) of said windscreen wiper.

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.

The invention relates to a cleaning arrangement (40; 40a-40d) for cleaning a vehicle window, with a wiper arm (10; 10a-10d) and with at least one hose (31, 32), fastened to the wiper arm (10; 10a-10d), for a cleaning fluid. It is provided according to the invention that the hose (31, 32) is connected by a form-fitting fastening, secure with regard to rotation angle, at least indirectly to the wiper arm (10; 10a-10d).

A nozzle unit 34 which jets washer fluid toward a windshield is fixed to an arm piece 33 whose front end side is fitted to a hook fixing member 23e. As a result, the nozzle unit 34 can be fixed without using the fitting member adopted in the conventional case, and located closer to the hook fixing member 23e. This reduces a positional shift of the nozzle unit 34 relative to the wiper blade 20 to the minimum, thus stabilizing the injection-target locations of washer fluid on the windshield.

A cleaning device for a surface, such as a windshield of a vehicle, includes an active positioning system and a cleaning head. The active positioning system is configured to deploy from a storage position hidden from view within a covered storage space and to position the cleaning head upon the windshield. The active positioning system includes a first extension member and a second extension member that move relative to one another to position the cleaning head, and also move the cleaning head across the windshield along a path. The cleaning head can have a brush portion configured to agitate debris from the window, and a drying portion configured to dry the window after cleaning. The cleaning device can be controlled via a touch-screen display in the vehicle, enabling a user to direct that specific portions of the windshield be cleaned as desired.

A wiper arm and assembly are disclosed. The wiper arm has a wiper arm holder, connected at one end to an output portion of a driving mechanism for the wiper arm that drives the wiper arm to swing back and forth in an outward-swinging direction, an extension arm pivotally connected to the other end of the wiper arm holder, a wiper arm end member located on the side of the wiper arm opposite to the wiper arm holder and configured to hold a wiper blade, and a washer assembly having at least a first nozzle, and a first conduit in fluid communication with the first nozzle. The first nozzle includes a nozzle unit, a first connector for the first conduit, and a bridge channel located between them, above the blade. The bridge channel is partially aligned with a segment of the wiper arm end member that is located above the blade.

A replacement kit (100) for a wiper mounted at the end of a motor vehicle wiper arm (10), the kit comprising at least one wiper (102, 102c, 102p) equipped with an inbuilt fluid spraying device comprising at least one circulation canal (126) and a fluid inlet cannula (104), and at least one fluid distribution tube (106) configured to be coupled at one end to said wiper (102, 102c, 102p) and at its opposite end to a fluid supply circuit supplying fluid coming from a reservoir (11) of the vehicle, the replacement kit also comprising a coupling (108) configured to allow a fluidic connection between the supply circuit and the at least one fluid distribution tube (106), as well as at least one fixing means (110, 116) for holding the distribution tube in position along the wiper arm (10).

An aircraft windshield wiper system includes a wiper blade with a composite support member and a blade element that interfaces with the windshield of the aircraft to clear the windshield of rain and other debris. The composite support member includes a wash tube integral with the composite support member, such that the wash tube receives windshield washing fluid from a fluid reservoir and dispenses the fluid onto the windshield of the aircraft. A plurality of clips can be used to couple the composite support member to the blade element.
