A wiper actuating assembly configured to actuate a windshield wiper arm includes an actuator and a linkage that connects the actuator to the wiper arm. Links of the linkage are joined by ball joints. The ball joints each include a ball stud and a ball socket. The ball portion of the ball stud has an annular ball groove that receives a retaining portion that protrudes inward from the inner surface of the ball socket. The ball groove and retaining portion cooperate to prevent withdrawal of the ball stud from the socket housing.

System for cleaning a glazed surface of a motor vehicle, including at least one wiper and a drive device for driving at least the wiper along an axis of translation, substantially perpendicular to said wiper, where the glazed surface is a detection surface of a sensor/emitter of a detection assembly and in that the drive device includes at least one drive motor driving in rotation about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the axis of translation, and at least a conversion device converting a rotational movement of the drive motor into a rectilinear movement along the axis of translation.

Closure element having two brackets which are substantially perpendicular or transverse with respect to one another. The closure element closes a ball socket, with the result that a pivot therein cannot be removed. To this end, it closes the opening of the ball socket. The ball socket and the pivot with the closure element form a secured ball joint which is used for wiping systems. The securing is carried out by the closure element being pushed onto the ball joint.

The invention concerns a crank pin for a connecting rod of a wiper-actuating linkage system, the crank pin being configured to be received in a complementary inner cavity of a ball joint of the linkage system, and comprising a truncated spherical portion having at least one spherical sector and at least one truncated sector. The invention also concerns a complementary ball joint. The invention also concerns a corresponding linkage system and the method for assembling a connecting rod of such a system.

Provided is a compact and high-strength cab capable of securing an excellent field of view for work. The cab includes a guard protecting a cab body, and a wiper having a blade to wipe a front window member and a blade actuator for actuating the blade. The guard includes a pair of side pillars and an actuator housing beam interconnecting the side pillars and housing the blade actuator. The actuator housing beam includes a hollow beam body formed with a body opening and a front-rear partition plate partitioning the inside of the beam body into front and rear sections. The body opening allows the blade actuator to be assembled to the front-rear partition plate therethrough.

The invention relates to a support of a ball-joint housing for a connecting rod of a windshield wiper actuating linkage system, the support having a ball-joint housing that extends along a longitudinal axis (B) and is configured to be received in a complementary orifice in the connecting rod. According to the invention, the support is configured to be rotationally joined to the connecting rod. The invention also relates to a connecting rod configured to be rotationally joined to such a support, and to the corresponding joining method.

A wiper system includes at least one wiper assembly, a linkage assembly connected to the at least one wiper assembly, and at least one worm-driven reduction gear motor having a housing, an output shaft rotatably supported by the housing, and a motor arm connected to the output shaft and the linkage assembly to drive the at least one wiper assembly in repeated wiping motion across a surface to be wiped. The wiper system also includes a resilient interface assembly disposed between the housing and the motor arm to provide resistance to loading deflection and damp axial and cross-axial movement of the output shaft of the motor.
