Vehicle wiper device
A vehicle wiper device includes a wiper arm, a wiper blade, a nozzle body, a hose, and a cleaning fluid supply section. A leading end side portion of the wiper arm is configured by an arm piece, and the wiper arm swings back and forth. The nozzle body is attached to the arm piece, is disposed on an outward movement side of the wiper blade, and jets cleaning fluid toward a windshield. The hose conveys cleaning fluid under pressure. The cleaning fluid supply section is at an opposite side of a rubber holder from the windshield, extends from the nozzle body so as to extend across the rubber holder from the outward movement side toward a return movement side of the wiper blade, is connected to the hose, and supplies cleaning fluid to the nozzle body.
Wiper device and wiper arm for cleaning a vehicle window
A wiper device for cleaning a vehicle window is disclosed. The wiper device has a wiper arm fastened in a torque-proof manner to a wiper shaft via an articulation piece, the wiper arm being arranged pivotably on the articulation piece in a pivot axis, a wiper blade arranged on the wiper arm, and a washing device for the wiper blade, which contains a feed for a washing fluid, wherein the feed runs in the longitudinal axis of the wiper shaft and leads to the wiper blade in a direction running substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis.
SYSTEM FOR WIPING A WINDSCREEN OF A VEHICLE
System for wiping a glazed surface of a vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (110) comprising a connector (124), a drive arm (112) for driving the wiper blade (110), the drive arm (1125 comprising at least one hinge means allowing the connector (124) to rotate relative to the drive am (112), a connecting piece (23) in contact with the connector (124) and positioned on the hinge means, said connecting piece (23) comprising means for spraying liquid towards the glazed surface,
characterized in that said connecting piece (23) is configured to follow a movement of the wiper blade (110) over the glazed surface.

ROTATING BLADE MECHANISM FOR CLEANING CYLINDRICAL SENSORS
The subject disclosure relates to features that facilitate the automatic cleaning of optical sensors and in particular Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors used in autonomous vehicle deployments. In some aspects, the disclosed technology includes a sensor cleaning apparatus having a housing, wherein the housing is configured to be rotatably coupled to an optical sensor, a wiper blade coupled to the housing, wherein the wiper blade is disposed at a downward angle relative to a top-surface of the optical sensor, and one or more nozzles disposed within the wiper blade, wherein the nozzles are configured to apply compressed gas to a surface of the optical sensor.
Windscreen wiper
The present invention relates to a windscreen wiper (1) for a motor vehicle window (3), comprising: a longitudinally extending wiper blade (5), an aerodynamic deflector (9) extending longitudinally above said wiper blade (5), at least one longitudinally extending fluid circulation duct (31, 32) having at least one spraying orifice (35), characterized in that the wiper comprises at least one lower lateral skirt (43, 44) extending longitudinally on a lateral side of the wiper blade (5) and of the spraying orifice (35), the spraying orifice (35) being located between the wiper blade (5) and the lower lateral skirt (43, 44).
WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM
An aircraft windshield wiper system includes a wiper arm, a wiper blade coupled to a first end of the wiper arm, and an output shaft coupled to a second end of the wiper arm. The wiper blade includes a fluid dispensing system including nozzles, a fluid control unit, fluid lines, fluid source, and a user interface. The wiper blade with the fluid dispensing system is configured to dispense a variety of fluids directly from the wiper blade onto the windshield of an aircraft.
Contaminant removal apparatus for windshields
A contaminant removal apparatus for windshields includes: driving belts located at both side surfaces of a windshield; a drive unit configured to apply driving force to the driving belts; a wiper assembly located on the windshield; rotary rollers configured to be shifted along the driving belts; idle gears located at ends of the driving belts to change a rotating direction of the rotary rollers; frame connection shafts coupled to both ends of the wiper assembly and located within the rotary rollers so as to contact the idle gears to change the rotating direction of the rotary rollers; and a controller configured to change a rotating direction of the rotary rollers when the idle gears and the frame connection shafts contact.
WIPER APPARATUS AND NOZZLE UNIT
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.
Wiper arm device
A wiper arm device comprising a wiper arm unit which has at least one wiper rod, and comprising at least one nozzle unit which is provided for applying washer fluid onto a vehicle window, and which, in an installed state, is arranged at least substantially laterally on the wiper arm unit. The nozzle unit, in the installed state, is arranged at least substantially as an extension of a wiper rod of the wiper arm unit and is fastened to the wiper arm unit by a latching connection.
