A vehicle has a frame, at least one seat, an engine, a plurality of ground engaging members, a windshield, and a wiper assembly connected to the upper portion of the windshield. The wiper assembly has a wiper motor, a reservoir, a wiper arm pivotally connected to the upper portion of the windshield, a wiper blade connected to the wiper arm, and a sprayer connected to the wiper arm and fluidly connected to the reservoir. The wiper motor selectively pivots the wiper arm and the wiper blade between a stowed position and a pivoted position. The wiper blade has a first side and a second side. The first side is above the second side in the stowed position. The sprayer is configured for spraying a fluid only on the surface of the windshield away from the first side of the wiper blade. A method for wiping a windshield is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a window-wiper spray nozzle (350) for a vehicle, especially a motor vehicle, comprising first detachable mounting means designed to cooperate with second mounting means of a support (390) for mounting said spray nozzle, the spray nozzle comprising at least one actuating means (370), such as a push-button, independent from said mounting means and designed to release the spray nozzle from the mounting support and thereby allow the spray nozzle to be dismounted from the mounting support.

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.

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.

A sensor assembly includes a first sensor window defining a first plane, a second sensor window fixed relative to the first sensor window and defining a second plane different than the first plane, and a nozzle positioned to deliver fluid to the first and second sensor windows. The nozzle is translatable along a first axis, rotatable about the first axis, and rotatable about a second axis transverse to the first axis.

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.

Bladeless programmable multi-jet non-vision-distracting wiper/cleaner devices, designs, methods, systems, assemblies and programs utilizing regulated invisible pressurized multi-air-jets and water-jets, for selectively wiping, cleaning, clearing, bouncing off and removing rain, snow, ice, dust, and other particulate matters from the external surfaces of the front, rear, side windshields and side-view mirrors; providing optimally angled linear-slit or wavy-slit jet nozzles built-in from longitudinal singular or aggregated plurality of delivery air-jet pipes and water-jet pipes for releasing controlled sustained and intermittent flow of invisible pressured air-jet-streams and water-jets, providing cleaner, clearer and safer visibility for millions of automobile driver(s) and/passenger(s), globally, preventing automobile accidents during hazardous weather conditions; said invention operable by a selection or combination of manual, automated, remote-control and interactive voice-commands, regulated by ECU and displays within and away from the automobile; eliminating the use of prior-art annoying, visual-field-interrupting long-bladed oscillating windshield wipers.

A LiDAR sensor unit is configured to detect information of an outside area of a vehicle with sensing light. A cover covers the LiDAR sensor unit so as to allow passage of the sensing light while forming a part of an outer surface of the vehicle. A strain gage is disposed on the cover and configured to output a strain signal corresponding to strain generated in the cover. A processor is configured to detect a foreign substance adhered to the cover based on the strain signal.

A vehicular air curtain device configured to send continuously, based on an operation signal, air to a sensor or a sensor cover mounted on a vehicle at a predetermined wind speed or a predetermined air flow rate in order to prevent dirt from adhering to the sensor or the sensor cover, the vehicular air curtain device includes: an air blowing mechanism; a motor configured to drive the air blowing mechanism; and an air curtain control unit configured to change a drive voltage or a drive current of the motor in accordance with a predetermined condition.

A photographing device for a vehicle and relates to the field of automatic driving technology is disclosed. The specific solution is that the photographing device includes a seat; a camera mounted on the seat; a lens holder mounted on the seat and rotatable relative to the seat; a transparent lens mounted on the lens holder and arranged opposite to the camera; and a driving assembly connected with the lens holder to drive the lens holder to rotate relative to the base.
