A windscreen wiper apparatus (10) having at least one wiper blade (14), having at least one heating element (16, 16′) that is arranged on the wiper blade (14), in particular is integrated into the wiper blade (14), having at least one wiper blade adapter (18), and having at least one wiper arm adapter (50) that may be connected to the wiper blade adapter (18) along a longitudinal axis (24) of the wiper blade adapter (18).

The invention relates to a wiping device for a motor vehicle window, comprising a windscreen wiper frame and a piezoelectric film, said piezoelectric film being mounted on the windscreen wiper frame such as to produce an electric current. The invention also relates to a warning method and a spray control method for such a wiping device.

Heated wiper device for a vehicle, in particular for a snowgroomer, the wiper device comprising: a wiper blade configured for being springily against the windscreen's outer surface of the vehicle; a wiper blade carrier; wherein the wiper blade carrier supports and at least partially houses the wiper blade; a box supporting and at least partially housing the wiper blade carrier; a wiper arm comprising a first end coupled to the box and a second end configured for being rotatably coupled to the vehicle to enable the wiper blade to move on the windscreen; and an electrical heating device coupled to the box in a position such that the electrical heating device is facing the wiper blade carrier.

Streamlined flat windscreen wiper (1), in particular of a vehicle, characterized in that it comprises: a longitudinal wiper blade (8), at least one longitudinal stiffening spine (6), a longitudinal member (7) for holding said wiper blade and said stiffening spine, a longitudinal fairing (2, 3) comprising two end caps (3) and a central mount (2) extending between the end caps and being linked thereto, the mount comprising means for fixing to said stiffening spine or to said member for holding this spine.

Fluid connection (12) for a wiper blade (14) of a windshield wiping system, wherein a heating element (16) is arranged in a lumen (18) and protrudes from an opening (18) of the lumen (18), wherein a tubular sealing means (10) is able to be arranged on the opening (20) and closes the opening (20) in a fluid-tight manner and fixes the heating means (16).

This disclosure details motor vehicle wiper systems and associated methods for heating wiper blades of the wiper systems. In exemplary embodiments, a wiper blade of a wiper may include a beam blade portion, a tip portion, and a heater element. Each of the beam blade portion, the tip portion, and the heater element may include a different material composition. The material composition of the heater element, for example, may include a thermally conductive polymer. The temperature of the blade may be regulated by adjusting a current flow through the thermally conductive polymer heater element.

A method to automatically activate at least one cold weather feature of a vehicle includes determining if the vehicle is in a state for activating at least one cold weather feature, and then determining at least one cold weather condition exists for activating at least one cold weather feature. When it is determined that at least one cold weather condition exists the at least one cold weather feature is automatically activated.

A sensing apparatus is provided. The sensing apparatus may include: a casing; a sensor assembly mounted in the casing; and a wiper assembly removing an outside material attached to the sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a sensor module and a sensor housing surrounding the sensor module, and the sensor housing is made of a transparent material. The sensor housing is rotatably mounted in the casing. The sensor housing is rotatably supported with respect to a hollow shaft in the casing, and the hollow shaft is mounted in the casing.

A visibility enhancement system for a vehicle with heating conduit and a method of making a windshield wiper system where a wiper blade is configured to wipe windshield of the vehicle, a wiper blade assembly holds at least one end of the wiper blade, a motor is configured to move the wiper blade upon activation of the visibility enhancement system, and a heating conduit warms the surface of the windshield of the vehicle. The visibility enhancement system may include a wiper blade to wipe a side window of the vehicle, a pair of wiper blades to wipe a side rearview mirror. The heating conduit may comprise of any of the following: heating filaments that warms the wiper blade; heating filaments running within the windshield; an air vent that runs inside the wiper blade; and an air vent that runs parallel to the wiper blade.

The invention concerns a rear view system (1) of a motor vehicle comprising:an optical image capturing sensor (3),a protective support (5) comprising a transparent and flat protective screen (7), the optical sensor (3) being installed on the protective support (5) in such a way as to point through said protective screen (7), anda scraper blade (9) for cleaning the protective screen (7) disposed on the face of the protective screen (7) opposite that of the optical sensor (3) side, characterised in that it further comprises an electromagnetic actuation device (11) for actuating said scraper blade (9) in translation on the protective screen (7).
