WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type is provided comprising a carrier element, and a wiper blade with a wiping part that can be placed in abutment with a windscreen, which includes at least one longitudinal groove in which a strip of the carrier element is disposed. The wiper blade comprising a connecting device for an oscillating arm that can be pivotally connected to the connecting device. The wiper blade includes a wiping part with a free end to be placed in abutment with a windscreen. The wiping part is arranged to carry out oscillatory tilting movement along a first tilting web. The wiper blade includes damping strips to damp oscillatory movement of the wiping part. The damping strips move along a second tilting web. The damping strips each include protrusions to contact a bottom of the holding part to limit oscillatory movement of the wiping part.
Packaging device for a windscreen wiper comprising a curved blade and an integrated flexible structure
A packaging device for a windscreen wiper blade has a housing configured to receive the blade, having a first support surface configured to contact a portion of an upper part of the blade, a second support surface configured to contact a first portion of a lower part of the blade, a third support surface configured to contact a second portion of the lower part of the blade, a centering means, and a hooking means for hanging the packaging device vertically. The centering means blocks the blade at the center of the housing when the packaging device is hung. The first support surface extends opposite an area situated between the second support surface and the third support surface, and the first, second, and third support surfaces together immobilize the blade inside the housing in a position that is at least partially straightened out relative to a resting position of the blade.
Replaceable Blade Wiper System
A replaceable blade wiper system for easy, economical, and eco-friendly windshield wiper blade replacement includes a wiper housing comprising a pair of rails and a pair of holding units. The pair of holding units secures the pair of rails parallel to one another and forms a channel between the pair of rails that extends from a left side to a right side of each of the pair of rails. A wiper blade is removably coupled to the wiper housing. The wiper blade slides within the channel. The wiper blade extends from proximal the left side to proximal the right side of the pair of rails.
Windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type
A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type having an elastic, elongated carrier element and an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, adapted to be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal slit, in which at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed. The windscreen wiper device comprises an oscillating arm having a rod-like extension, a connecting device and a nozzle for spraying a washing liquid onto the windscreen to be wiped. The connecting device includes a channel adapted to receive a free end of the rod-like extension and a second channel adapted to receive the nozzle upon insertion of the free end of the rod-like extension inside the first channel of the connecting device. The nozzle is adapted to be mounted onto the rod-like extension.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes a central longitudinal groove, in which groove a central longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed. The windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating wiper arm, wherein at least one end of the wiper blade extends beyond the longitudinal strip in order to define a space open at one end thereof. The wiper blade comprises a spoiler at a side thereof facing away from a windscreen to be wiped, with the special feature that an end piece is provided at the end of the wiper blade. The end piece comprises a plug fitted inside the space in order to dust and water tightly close the groove at the end of the wiper blade, as well as retaining means fitted outside the space and into a longitudinal slit on a longitudinal side of the wiper blade in order to retain the end piece onto the wiper blade, and wherein an extremity of the spoiler is unengaged by the end piece near the end of the wiper blade.
Motorized windshield scourer
A motor-powered windshield scourer for any type of a motor-powered vehicle and or motor craft. The motorized windshield scourer may have a motor propelled appendages or a singular appendage that have replaceable scouring attachments joined to the appendages. The motor that propels the appendages can be positioned anywhere on or in the motor vehicle/craft, whether under the hood, in the cabin or elsewhere. The motor driven appendages with joined scouring attachments may be mounted on the windshield of the vehicle directly opposite of the windshield wiper blades. When turned on, the motor may move the appendages with joined attachments in a side to side and/or up and down motion across the windshield. The appendages may include an unpliable metal such as: steel, titanium, tungsten, or inconel, and the scouring attachments may include nylon scouring pads or a vinyl coated mesh attached to and covering rubber or foam.
Packaging system including a holder for holding a windscreen wiper device
A system provided with a windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove a longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, wherein ends of the wiper blade and/or of the longitudinal strip are interconnected by a respective connecting piece, the carrier element biasing the wiper blade in a curved position, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for pivotally connecting an oscillating wiper arm thereto; a holder for holding the windscreen wiper device; with the special feature that the holder comprises a stiff tightening profile engaging the windscreen wiper device at engaging locations on the connecting device for tightening the windscreen wiper device in a less curved position.
AN ELONGATED PACKAGE FOR A WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE OF THE FLAT BLADE TYPE
An elongated package for a windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type two sleeves being interconnected along their length, wherein each sleeve is arranged to hold a windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type, wherein walls of each sleeve enclose an acute angle.
WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE
A windscreen wiper blade includes a blade body, a blade rubber, and a yoke. The blade body includes first and second locks. The yoke is made of a metal plate and includes a first extension and a blade rubber retainer. The first extension has a fitting bead which the first lock engages. The blade rubber retainer extends from the first extension and retains the blade rubber. The yoke also includes second and third extensions. The second extension extends away from the blade rubber from an end of the first extension located away from the fitting bead. The third extension has a locking hole in which the second lock is fit and extends toward the blade rubber from an end of the second extension located away from the first extension. The yoke includes a burned portion defining a boundary between the second and third extension. The second and third extensions overlap.
WIPER UNIT FOR A WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A WIPER UNIT
A wiper unit for an automobile windshield wiper system has at least one wiper arm connectable to a wiper drive of the windshield wiper system and at least one wiper blade supported by the wiper arm. In order to provide a lightweight wiper unit that can be produced cost-effectively and offers greater design freedom, at least one fiber-reinforced nonmetallic strip is arranged on the outside of the wiper arm and/or the wiper blade. That nonmetallic strip extends over at least half the length of the wiper arm or wiper blade, is connected to the wiper arm or the wiper blade in a substance-bonded manner, and is arranged at least in part on a side of the wiper arm or wiper blade which is arranged facing or facing away from an automobile windshield which is to be wiped.
