VIBRATING VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH HEATING ELEMENT
The vibrating vehicle windshield wipers with heating element for private and commercial vehicles effectively clear away snow, ice, and other inclement weather debris from both the vehicle windshield and the wipers themselves. The vibration and heating element ensure the windshield wipers remain functional at all times, eliminating the need to apply manual brushes and scrapers to a windshield and utilizes sensors to either manually or automatically trigger the heating element, controlled via the internal defrosting mechanism in the vehicle.
Blade attachment tool and blade support structure
A blade attachment tool includes a first support member supported by a pressing support portion supporting a blade formed of an elastic member configured to wipe/scrape liquid/solids spreading on an abutment surface by being pressed against the abutment surface and being long in one direction such that the blade is pressed against the abutment surface with a predetermined pressing force, a second support member supported to swing about a swing shaft extending in a longitudinal direction of the blade with respect to the first support member and configured such that a base end side of the blade is attached thereto, and an energizing member configured to apply a reaction force to a friction force that causes the second support member to swing about the swing shaft with respect to the first support member when the blade is pressed against the abutment surface to slide relatively to the abutment surface.
