The invention relates to a bearing of a window wiper system (7) comprising a tube (9) for bearing a winder wiper blade driving shaft (11), the tube (9) having a protuberance (15) for cooperating with a supporting element in the form of a hollow rod (5), characterised in that the protuberance (15) has a collar (25) arranged at a distance from the tube (9).

A support panel adjacent to the windshield opening has an upper surface and a lower surface with a first shaft opening. A wiper drive mechanism is supported to the vehicle body structure and extends along the lower surface of the support panel. The wiper drive mechanism includes a shaft housing and a wiper shaft pivotally supported within the shaft housing. A water diverting panel at least partially covers the wiper drive mechanism and is attached thereto and has a cylindrically shaped portion extending upward therefrom. The cylindrically shaped portion defines a second shaft opening with the shaft housing and wiper shaft extending upward through the second shaft opening and further extending upward through the first shaft opening. A filter member is mounted to the cylindrically shaped portion above the water diverting panel and below the support panel encircling the shaft housing.

The invention relates to a windscreen wiper motor (10), having a housing (12) for accommodating a gearing arrangement which comprises a gear wheel (20) rotatably mounted in a shaft (13), which gear wheel has, on its outer circumference, a toothing (21) which interacts with a counterpart toothing (19) on a drive shaft (15), wherein the shaft (13) is received in a mount (22; 22a to 22c), which is constructed as a bore, of the housing (12) in an eccentric bush (25; 25a to 25c) for setting the distance (a) between the shaft (13) and the drive shaft (15), and wherein a press fit is formed at least in regions between the mount (22; 22a to 22c) and the eccentric bush (25; 25a to 25c).

The present invention relates to a pivot assembly for a vehicle wiper system. The assembly includes a pivot shaft rotatably supported in central passage of a pivot housing, a lever coupled to the pivot shaft, and a cover. The cover includes a tubular portion, cylindrical step and a transition portion integrally formed between the tubular portion and the cylindrical step. The cover further includes a cantilever snap extending from inner surface of the transition portion, in longitudinal direction of the cover. A protrusion is formed in the cylindrical step at a location adjacent to the snap. The tubular portion of the cover is received over pivot shaft and a locking profile formed at free end of the snap is received in a recess formed in top end of the pivot housing, thereby restricting longitudinal and rotational movements of the cover with respect to the pivot housing.

A wiper for a motor vehicle, the wiper extending along a longitudinal direction from a first end portion configured to be pivotally coupled to a body of the motor vehicle and ending with a second end portion opposite the first end portion according to the longitudinal direction, wherein the wiper comprises a support body and a wiper blade comprising a wiper frame and a blade carried by the wiper frame and suitable for sliding in contact on a window of the motor vehicle, characterized in that the wiper frame is cantilevered to the support body according to the longitudinal direction, comprises the second end portion, and is more flexible than the support body.

A vehicle cowl structure comprises a cowl top panel extending in a vehicle width direction along a lower end portion of a front windshield. The cowl top panel extends between a first side end and a second side end. The cowl top panel includes a top surface that slopes downwardly from the first side end to the second side end. The cowl top panel further includes a plurality of pivot holes spaced apart from each other and extending through the cowl top panel. The plurality of pivot holes is disposed on the top surface. Each pivot hole is adapted to receive a corresponding wiper shaft therethrough. Furthermore, the cowl top panel includes a plurality of islands spaced apart from each other and corresponding to the plurality of pivot holes. Each island of the plurality of islands is disposed proximal to a corresponding pivot hole of the plurality of pivot holes.

A windshield wiper system for an aircraft includes a wiper arm and a wiper shaft with a first end connected to a base of the wiper arm. An electric motor is coupled to the wiper shaft to rotationally drive the wiper shaft. The windshield wiper system also includes a brake system. The brake system includes an electromagnet comprising an energized mode and a de-energized mode. The brake system also includes an anti-rotation assembly with a first element and a second element. The first element is connected directly to the wiper shaft. The second element is rotationally stationary relative the wiper shaft and the first element. The second element is configured to interlock with the first element to prevent rotation of the first element and the wiper shaft when both the electromagnet is in the de-energized mode and the wiper arm is in a park position.
