A windshield wiper system (3) for vehicles. A windshield (1) has a curved surface. The system (3) comprises two wiper arms (14) and one wiper blade (5), one of said two wiper arms (14) being mounted to said oscillating gear drive (2), said wiper blade (5) being mounted by means of said two wiper arms (14) distal to said oscillating gear drive (2) for oscillation across the windshield (1). Said two wiper arms (14) have each along said curved surface of the windshield (1) a respectively pivotal wiper arm axis (8). At least one cranked fitting (16) and a prolongation fitting (7) are provided, said wiper blade (5) being mounted rotatable about a wiper blade rotation axis (9) by means of said wiper blade holder (21) and said wiper blade fit bolt (22) to said prolongation fitting (7). Said prolongation fitting (7) is mounted rotatable about prolongation fitting rotation axes (18). Said prolongation fitting rotation axes (18) is inclined to said respective wiper arm axis of each of the two wiper arms (14) by an angle 45<<135.

A wiper system for wiping a, windshield includes a first wiper arm and a second wiper arm both supporting at least one wiper blade. A wiper motor drives rotation of the first wiper arm. An actuator is coupled eccentrically to the second wiper arm so as to convert rotary motion of the actuator to reciprocating motion of the second wiper arm. A pantograph wiper system of a vehicle includes a first wiper arm configured to be driven by a first pivot drive shaft, a second wiper arm configured to be driven by a second pivot drive shaft, and a single wiper motor. The single wiper motor drives rotation of the first and second pivot drive shafts. An arm-blade coupler connecting a wiper middle arm to the first and second wiper arms so as to allow the wiper middle arm to slide along the first and second wiper arms.

A windshield wiper system (3) for a windshield (1) having a curved surface and an oscillating gear drive (2) with a central park position (A). Said system (3) comprises at least one wiper arm (13) and wiper blades (5), said wiper blades (5) being mounted by means of said at least one wiper arm (13) to said oscillating gear drive (2). The windshield (1) and the wiper blade lips (11) have a frictional coefficient (). Two wiper arms (13), two wiper blades (5) each with a fit bolt (20), bearing bushes (10), a prolongation fitting (7) and a rocker (6) are provided. Said two wiper blades (5) are mounted rotatable about a wiper blade rotation axis (9), perpendicular to said oscillatory axis (V) and said longitudinal axis (U). Said wiper blade rotation axis (9) is defined by a center line through the fit bolts (20) mounted opposed to each other on said two wiper blades (5) being essentially parallel with a distance (a) to each other. Said rocker (6) rotatable attaches each of the two wiper blades (5) by means of the fit bolt (12). The prolongation fitting (7) rotatable attaches the rocker (6) to the wiper arms (13). The fit bolt (12) with the rocker (6) defines a rocker rotation axis (8) in a plane defined by said oscillatory axis (V) and said longitudinal axis (U) with an inclination angle to the outer surface of the windshield (1) in the central park position (A) providing a distance (b) direct under the wiper blades rotation axis (9) between the windshield (1) and the rocker rotation axis (8) perpendicular to the windshield (1) in the central park position (A) fulfilling $\left[\frac{2.Math.b}{a}\right]<\left(1-\right).$

A vehicle, including: a windshield; and a first wiper arm including a first segment and a second segment attached to the first segment, wherein the first wiper arm is operatively attached to the vehicle at a first side of the vehicle such that the first wiper arm is rotatable about a first axis of rotation between at least an outer position and an inner position, and wherein the first wiper arm is shaped such that, when the first wiper arm is in the outer position, the first segment extends from the first axis of rotation away from a width center of the vehicle, and the second segment extends from the first segment at least partly along a height direction of the vehicle.

A debris management system includes a slider adapted to move in first and second directions along a track disposed across a vehicle surface. The slider has a first side facing the first direction, a second side facing the second direction, and a spray barrier disposed along each of the first and second sides. A wiper mechanism extends from the slider and is adapted to make contact with the vehicle surface.

A windshield wiper blade assembly has a windshield wiper blade with an articulation element for articulating the blade to a wiper arm. An electrical connector includes two coaxial parts configured to rotate relative to each other, one part of which being intended to be secured to the articulation element and the other part of which being intended to be secured to the wiper arm. One part of the two coaxial parts is a male part including at least one male connector and the other part is a female part including at least one female connector associated with the at least one male connector, The least one female connector is arranged in a circular groove, so that said at least one male connector is able to move in rotation inside the groove and to contact the at least one female connector during the rotation of the two coaxial parts relative to each other.
