The subject of the device is a retaining device (1) for retaining a windscreen washer liquid pipe (2), the device comprising: the pipe (2), a driver (10) comprising an orifice (11) arranged to receive a rotation shaft, this shaft being rotated about a rotation axis (X), the driver (10) having an outer contour (13) when this driver (10) is observed along the rotation axis (X), optionally a cap, notably fitted to the driver,
characterized in that at least one of the driver (10) and of the optional cap comprises a housing (30) arranged to receive at least partly the pipe (2) in the following configuration: the pipe (2) comprises a curved portion (12) around the orifice (11), when the device is observed along the rotation axis (X) with the cap assembled on the driver (10), the curved portion (12) of the pipe (2) is set back from the outer contour (13) of the driver (10).

A windshield touch and clean system that can clean either the entire windshield of an automobile or spot clean a localized area of the windshield is disclosed. The windshield touch and clean system may control a cleaning head in a number of ways including but not limited to two articulating extension members or a gantry system. The cleaning head may be retrofitted with a spray nozzle for spraying cleaning fluid and also a vibration unit to assist in cleaning of residue on the windshield.

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.

A wiper apparatus includes a wiper arm extending from a first wiper arm end to second wiper arm end. The wiper arm has an airfoil profile. The wiper arm includes a core having a lattice structure with shell extending around the lattice structure. A composite layer is formed around the core. The composite layer conforms to an outer surface of the shell. A method of making a wiper apparatus includes forming a core of a wiper arm with a lattice structure surrounded by a shell. The method includes depositing a layer of composite material on an outer surface of the shell.

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.

A vehicle wiper comprises a retainer that is formed in an elongated shape open at the lower side facing toward a windshield, and that is provided so as to be capable of swinging about a shaft axis of a pivot shaft that is swung to-and-fro; a first nozzle member that is housed inside the retainer, and that is capable of ejecting washer fluid from an ejection portion; and 1 a retainer cover member that closes off an opening of the retainer, and that is formed with a window through which the ejection portion of the first nozzle member is externally exposed.

The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a windshield-cleaning liquid for windshield wiper blades of a motor vehicle, comprising: a hydraulic pipe (7, 8) having at least one liquid flow channel (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b); at least one hydraulic coupling (9, 10, 11, 15) for transporting of liquid to said pipe or discharging the liquid from said pipe, characterized in that the dispensing device also comprises at least one non-return valve (20) received in the flow channel (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b) or in a hydraulic coupling (9, 10, 11, 15).

A windshield touch and clean system that can clean either the entire windshield of an automobile or spot clean a localized area of the windshield is disclosed. The windshield touch and clean system may control a cleaning head in a number of ways including but not limited to two articulating extension members or a gantry system. The cleaning head may be retrofitted with a spray nozzle for spraying cleaning fluid and also a vibration unit to assist in cleaning of residue on the windshield.

A wiper blade includes: a contact member having a relatively high length-to-width ratio and sliding along a surface of a contact target while maintaining direct contact with the surface; and a cover member provided across the contact member from the contact target. The cover member includes a connecting portion connected to the contact member and an exposed portion provided on top of the connecting portion. The exposed portion includes a plurality of support members longitudinally disposed at intervals and a finishing member longitudinally connecting the tops of the support members, thereby forming an open-frame structure.

The present application relates to a wiper arm, which comprises a wiper arm body and a wiper arm end piece, the wiper arm end piece being fixedly connected to one end of the wiper arm body to hold a wiper blade, the wiper arm being further provided with a nozzle and a hose, wherein the nozzle is connected to an extension section of the wiper arm end piece towards the return side or the outward swing side of the wiper arm; the hose extends along the wiper arm body, and one end of the hose is connected to the nozzle to deliver a cleaning fluid to the nozzle. The arrangement of a nozzle on the wiper arm ensures that a cleaning fluid is quickly wiped off, the driver is given a clear field of vision, and the cleaning fluid usage may also be reduced.
