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.

The wiper blade includes a washer unit mounted on a second long side wall portion of a connecting member and spraying a washer fluid toward a windshield glass. The washer unit includes a cover member, an elastically deformable valve member disposed between the second long side wall portion and the cover member, a flow path disposed between the cover member and the valve member, and a piping connection member mounted on the cover member and supplying the washer fluid from a second washer tube to the flow path. The valve member has an opening disposed on the upstream side of the flow path. The piping connection member includes a tube connection portion which extends in the longitudinal direction of a blade rubber and to which the second washer tube is connected, and an insertion portion which extends in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the tube connection portion and is connected to the opening.

The wiper blade includes a connecting member mounted on a wiper arm, a blade rubber mounted on the connecting member, and a washer unit mounted on a second long side wall portion and spraying first washer fluid to fourth washer fluid. The washer unit includes a cover member, a valve member disposed between the second long side wall portion and the cover member, first flow path to fourth flow path disposed between the cover member and the valve member, and first spray hole to fourth spray hole provided on the downstream side of the first flow path to the fourth flow path. The first spray hole to the fourth spray hole are disposed closer to a surface of a windshield glass than a connecting pin (axial center) that connects the wiper arm and the connecting member.

A wiper for a motor vehicle, the wiper extending along a longitudinal direction from a first end portion configured to be pivotally coupled to a body of the motor vehicle and ending with a second end portion opposite the first end portion according to the longitudinal direction, wherein the wiper comprises a support body and a wiper blade comprising a wiper frame and a blade carried by the wiper frame and suitable for sliding in contact on a window of the motor vehicle, characterized in that the wiper frame is cantilevered to the support body according to the longitudinal direction, comprises the second end portion, and is more flexible than the support body.
