A first driven lever of a vehicle wiper device has a proximal end pivotally connected to a distal end of a first driving lever. A second driven lever has a proximal end pivotally connected to a distal end of the first driven lever and a distal end pivotally connected to a distal end of a second driving lever. A first wiper arm operates integrally with the second driven lever and has a distal end to which a first wiper blade is connected. A swing transmission mechanism transmits a driving force to the first driving lever. The swing transmission mechanism includes a swing crank arm integrally rotatable with a rotation shaft of a single drive source. An extension-contraction transmission mechanism transmits a driving force to the second driving lever. The extension-contraction transmission mechanism includes an extension-contraction crank arm integrally rotatable with the rotation shaft of the drive source.

A cleaning device for a surface, such as a windshield of a vehicle, has a housing that holds a spray bar, rotatable brush and a wiper blade. An engagement mechanism moves spray bar, the brush, and the wiper blade out from a disengaged position within the housing to an engaged position outside the housing so that they can be used to clean, brush, and dry the surface. After the spray bar, brush, and wiper blade are used to, respectively, clean, brush, and dry the surface, the engagement mechanism then moves the spray bar, the brush, and the wiper blade to a disengaged position within the housing.

A windscreen assembly (10) for a vehicle 1 is described, comprising:a windscreen panel group (11, 12) comprising a windscreen panel (11) and a support structure (12) to support the windscreen panel (11); anda wiper group (20. The wiper group (20) comprises a wiper (13), a drive motor group (14) for actuating the wiper (13), a tank (15) for a liquid and a pump (16) operationally connected to the tank (15). The wiper group (20) is supported by the windscreen panel group (11, 12) and said windscreen assembly (10) is configured to be removably coupled to said vehicle.

The invention relates to a wiper arm device (100) for cleaning a vehicle window (1), with a wiper arm head (10) that can be at least indirectly connected by means of a wiper arm rod (22) with a wiper blade (5) at a first end region with a drive shaft (12) and a second end region lying opposite the first end region, wherein the wiper arm rod (22) is pivotably mounted on the side facing the wiper arm head (10) in a first pivoting axis (20). It is provided according to the invention that a spacer device (40) is arranged on the wiper arm rod (22), and designed to hold the wiper arm rod (22) a constant distance (a) away from the vehicle window (1).

The invention relates to a wiper arm arrangement (100) for cleaning a vehicle window (1), with a wiper arm head (10) that can be at least indirectly connected by means of a wiper arm rod (22) with a wiper blade (5) at a first end region with a drive shaft (12) and a second end region lying opposite the first end region, wherein the wiper arm rod (22) is pivotably mounted on the side facing the wiper arm head (10) in a first pivoting axis (20). The invention provides that the wiper arm rod (22) consist of two elements (26, 28), a first element (26) connected with the wiper arm head (10) and a second element (28) that can be connected at least indirectly with the wiper blade (5), and that the two elements (26, 28) be arranged so that they can pivot relative to each other in a second pivoting axis (30), wherein the second pivoting axis (30) is arranged essentially perpendicular to the first pivoting axis.

When an operation signal of a view-obstructing material removal mode switch has been detected, a controller controls such that wiping operation is performed while spraying washer fluid toward the opposite side to a movement direction side of a wiper blade, after which a wiping operation in which washer fluid is not sprayed is performed.

A windshield wiper system (WWS) is provided and includes a wiper blade assembly drivable along a first sweep angle, an internal wiper trigger disposed to move with the wiper blade assembly, a measurement system configured to monitor a position of the internal wiper trigger from which a corresponding position of the wiper blade assembly relative to the first sweep angle is measurable and to output a sweep angle feedback signal corresponding to monitoring results and a controller. The controller is receptive of the sweep angle feedback signal.

A cleaning device for a vehicle has tracks above and below the vehicle's windshield. A brush, wiper blade and spray bar extend across the windshield at a starting side of the windshield. The spray bar provides washer fluid as the brush rotates against the windshield. The spray bar, rotating brush and wiper bar are moved along the tracks and across the windshield to an opposing, return side of the windshield where the wiper blade first contacts the windshield and the brush stops rotating and moves away from the windshield. The spray bar rotates next to the wiper blade to blow air against the windshield. The wiper blade scrapes water while air blows water off the windshield as they move back to the starting side of the windshield where they are stored in a frame along the side of the windshield when not in use.

The invention relates to a wiper arm apparatus (10) for motor vehicles, having a wiper arm head (12), which comprises a drive lever (18), which can be connected to a drive shaft (20), whereby an intermediate lever (22) pivotally supported on the drive lever (18) cooperates with a control lever (24), which control lever (24) is arranged pivotably about a shaft (26) on the side facing away from the intermediate lever (22), and with a fastening device (30; 30a) for at least one hose (1, 2) for supplying a cleaning fluid to a wiper arm (14).

Provided is a vehicle wiper device including (i) a first motor that includes a first output shaft, that rotates the first output shaft to rotate a wiper arm back and forth about a pivot point of the wiper arm, and that causes a wiper blade coupled to a leading end portion of the wiper arm to perform a back and forth wiping operation between an upper return position and a lower return position on a windshield, (ii) a second motor that changes a wiping range on the windshield by the wiper blade, (iii) a rotation angle detector that detects a rotation angle of the first output shaft, and (iv) a controller that controls the second motor according to a rotation angle of the first output shaft detected by the rotation angle detector in a state in which a broad field of view should be secured on a front passenger seat side.
