The wiper blade comprises flexible wiping elements, a wiping element holder, an element for attachment to the windshield wiper finger, and end caps. The wiping elements are installed into a single wiping element holder made from a resilient metal strip. The wiping element holder is configured with two longitudinal parallel slots. Rectangular notches are configured at the end of each slot for the flexible wiping element installation. The element for attachment to the windshield wiper arm is configured as a parallelepiped with conical outer side and a longitudinal bore. The projecting lips and fixation openings enable securing the wiping element holder with flexible wiping elements in the inner bore of the element for attachment to the wiper arm. Two openings and four recesses at the wiping element holder ends are provided for end cap fixing. Each end cap is shaped as a flat parallelepiped with rounded corners with an open front end and a closed rear end.

A surface wiper device which includes a carrier which supports a blade. The carrier attaches to a wiper arm which urges the blade against and moves the blade across the surface of a windshield. The carrier further provides a plurality of outlets each of which communicate between a hollow passage inside the carrier and a location on the external surface of the carrier. A fluid can be delivered from a fluid source fluidicly coupled to the hollow passage of the carrier under sufficient pressure to be dispersed from the plurality of outlets onto the windshield during movement of the blade. A fluid heater can be thermally coupled with the fluid delivered from the fluid source to the plurality of outlets to increase the temperature of the fluid dispersed onto the windshield. The fluid can be sufficiently heated to generate a heated gas.

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.

The present invention relates to a vehicle wiper blade having two or more edges, including: a pair of stopping parts coupled to a wiper body in such a manner as to be branched from the undersides thereof; bent parts disposed on the underside surfaces of the pair of stopping parts; and wiping parts disposed on the undersides of the bent parts to wipe a window glass surface of a vehicle, wherein the bent parts and the wiping parts are left and right symmetrical with each other around a center line of the blade, and each wiping part includes a wiping contact part disposed on the lower end thereof in such a manner as to come into contact with the window glass surface to wipe the window glass surface.

The invention relates to a wiper device comprising at least one wiper strip unit (12a-g) which has at least one first wiper lip (14a-g) and at least one second wiper lip (16a-g). The wiper device (10a-g) has at least one automatically activated wiper lip switching unit (20a-g) which is provided in order to switch a wiper lip (18a-g) that is active in at least one sub-process of a wiping process.

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (50, 70) for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The windshield wiper device comprises a wiper blade (51, 71) with an elongated upper part (52, 72) which is designed to be at least partly flexible, an elongated lower part (53, 73) which is designed to be at least partly flexible, and multiple connection elements (18) for connecting the upper part (52, 72) and the lower part (53, 73). The connection elements (18) are mutually spaced along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (51, 71), and the connection elements (18) are designed to allow the upper part (52, 72) and the lower part (53, 73) to move relative to each other with a movement component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (51, 71), a cross-section of the wiper blade (51, 71) perpendicular to the longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade being substantially trapezoidal.

The wiper blade comprises elastic wiping elements, a wiping element holder, a member for fixing to the windshield wiper finger, and end tips. The wiping elements are installed into a single wiping element holder made from a resilient metal strip. The wiping element holder is configured with two longitudinal parallel slots. Rectangular recesses are configured at the end of each slot for the elastic wiping element installation. The member for fixing to the windshield wiper finger is configured as a parallelepiped with conical outer side and a longitudinal bore. The projecting edges and fixation holes enable securing the wiping element holder with elastic wiping elements in the inner bore. Two holes and four cutouts at the wiping element holder's ends are provided for end tip fixing. Each tip is shaped as a flat parallelepiped with rounded corners with an open front end and a closed rear end.

A window washer having a brushing arm mounted to a wiping arm of the window washer, and a motion conversion mechanism for converting back and forth rotational motion of the wiping arm to back and forth linear motion of the brushing arm, thereby the brushing arm rotates with the wiping arm motion, and in addition, linearly slides back and forth from the wiping arm, for brushing a window.

A wiper assembly for a window of a vehicle and a method of cleaning a window are provided. The wiper assembly includes a wiper blade having a fluid extraction opening, a fluid discharge outlet remote from the wiper blade and a fluid tight conduit connecting the fluid extraction opening to the fluid discharge outlet. The wiper assembly may further include a suction pump configured to draw air and water into the fluid extraction opening and through the fluid tight conduit of the wiper assembly, thereby reducing the amount of water left of the window following wiping and improving visibility for the driver.
