WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
The present invention relates to a windscreen wiper device (100) for a vehicle, with a fastening element (52), in particular to a motor vehicle. The windscreen wiper device (100) comprises a mounting element (40) which is designed to be mounted on the fastening element (52), and a wiper blade (2) with an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12), which are configured to be at least partially bendable. Furthermore, a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12) are provided, wherein the connecting elements (18) are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). The connecting elements (18) are designed to permit a movement of the upper part (10) and of the lower part (12) relative to one another with a movement component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). Furthermore, the wiper blade (2) comprises a wiper-blade-side fastening part (20). The wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) is configured in such a manner that, by means of a rotation of the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) relative to the mounting element (40), an engagement can be formed in order to connect the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) to the mounting element (40).
WIPER LIP FOR A WINDSHIELD WIPER DEVICE
The invention relates to a wiper lip (20) adapted to a windshield wiper device (20). The windshield wiper device (20) has an elongated, at least partially bendable upper part (10), an elongated, at least partially bendable lower part (12), and a plurality of connection elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12). The connection elements (18) are configured to allow a movement of the upper part (10) and of the lower part relative to one another with a movement component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). The wiper lip is configured such that the rigidity of the wiper lip in the wiper direction (1) is greater than the rigidity of the wiper lip vertical to the wiping direction.
Drive
A drive with a motor and devices for coupling the motor to a driving object. The coupling devices include a centrifugal mass which is movable by the motor, and an impact stop, which is connected to the driving object, for the centrifugal mass.
WIPER SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE THAT DISENGAGES IN THE EVENT OF TORQUE EXCEEDING A THRESHOLD
The invention relates to a drive mechanism and a wiper system for a vehicle. The mechanism comprises a coupling member (22), a drive head (10) having means (20) for connecting to a wiper blade arm (48) and a slide (32) arranged so as to rotatably engage the member with the head when a value of a torque applied to the head relative to the member is less than a predetermined threshold, and, when this is not the case, to rotatably disengage the member and the head by sliding in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the member.
CLEANING ARRANGEMENT FOR THE CLEANING OF VEHICLE WINDOWS, AND WIPER DEVICE
The invention relates to a cleaning arrangement (40) for the cleaning of vehicle windows, wherein the cleaning arrangement (40) has a base body (131) with at least one spray opening (42, 43), wherein the base body (131) is able to be connected to a wiper arm (10), and wherein the base body (131) has a supply connection (51) for a cleaning fluid, which supply connection (51) is hydraulically connected to the spray opening (42, 43) via a connecting duct (121). According to the invention, it is provided that a feed connection (141) branches off from the connecting duct (121), which feed connection (141) opens in a connecting chamber (140) of the base body (131), and that the connecting chamber (140) is able to be closed by means of a closure cap (95).
WIPER ARM HEAD FOR A WIPER ARM ROD AND WIPER ARM FOR VEHICLE WINDOWS
The invention relates to a wiper arm head (14) for a wiper arm rod (11), with a first end region (178), which has an opening (15) for receiving a drive shaft, and a second end region (179) for the pivotable fastening of the wiper arm rod (11), and with means for directing at least one hose (31, 32) carrying a cleaning fluid. It is provided according to the invention that the means has a feedthrough (181, 182), which leads the hose (31, 32) from an upper side (187) in the direction of an underside (188) of the wiper arm head (14).
Variable airfoil profile hollow wiper arms
A wiper apparatus includes a wiper axis interface configured for mounting a wiper assembly to a wiper drive. A lower wiper arm extends from the wiper axis interface to a wiper mount that is configured to connect the lower arm to an upper arm. A first end of the lower wiper arm proximate the wiper axis interface has a first airfoil profile and wall thickness. A second end of the lower wiper arm proximate the wiper mount has a second airfoil profile and wall thickness. An intermediate portion of the lower wiper arm extending between the first and second ends has a transitioning airfoil profile and thickness that transitions from the first airfoil profile and wall thickness to the second airfoil profile and wall thickness.
Vehicle window wiper assembly with curvilinear guide rail
A windshield wiper assembly includes a telescoping wiper head having a first section fixed to a pivot drive shaft and a second section capable of translating relative to the first section between an extended position and a retracted position. A curvilinear guide rail engages the second section and guides the second section between the extended and retracted positions. A wiper blade is carried on the second section. Advantageously the wiper assembly functions to provide enhanced wiper coverage over the Zone B portion of the windscreen through which the occupants view is typically directed.
Windscreen wiper arm
A windscreen wiper arm, particularly for automobiles, includes comprising a mounting head mountable on a drive shaft and an arm member pivotally connected to the mounting head by means of a pivot pin, and wherein the arm member can be pivoted between a wiping position, wherein the arm member extends parallel to a windscreen to be wiped, and an elevated position, wherein the arm member and/or a windscreen wiper blade to be attached thereto can be repaired or replaced, characterized in that the windscreen wiper arm is provided with locking means arranged to lock the arm member onto the pivot pin in order to prevent the arm member from disengaging from the pivot pin in the elevated position of the arm member.
Rear wiper assembly
Provided is a rear wiper assembly having a rear wiper arm, a cover, a joint, and a motion-stopping mechanism. A connector and a cover are hingedly connected to the rear end of the rear wiper arm. When the cover is in a closed state, it covers the connector; the motion-stopping mechanism has a first interference element and a second interference element, at least one of the interference elements being a flexible element; the first interference element is arranged on the rear wiper arm, and the second interference element is arranged on the cover, when the cover is in an open state and when the angle between the upper surface of the cover and the upper surface of the rear wiper arm is within a predetermined range, the interference elements interfere with each other, preventing the cover from turning over in the direction of the connector.
