A window wiper assembly for cleaning a surface of a vehicle window, which includes a guide rail mountable to a frame member supporting the window, a wiper arm having an elongate body configured with an opening and integrally connecting to a head portion for mounting thereto wheel assemblies capable of traversing interiorly within the guide rail, a glide post having a wheeled portion for slidably interacting with an integrated rail associated with the opening, a wiper blade assembly mounted to a bottom side of the elongate body, and a pivot arm equipped with first and second mount fittings respectively connecting to a shaft of the glide post and an output shaft of a wiper drive motor, whereby rotation of the output shaft aptly acts on the pivot arm to advance lateral movement of the wiper arm along the guide rail with that of the wiper blade assembly to effect entire surface cleaning of the window.

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.

A system includes a dome, a wiper assembly, a position sensor and a control device. The wiper assembly includes a wiper blade configured to rotate around the dome. The position sensor may be configured to send a signal to a control device when a wiper blade passes the position sensor. The control device may include one or more processors configured to receive the signal from the position sensor and determine a location of the wiper blade relative to the dome based on the received signal.

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.

A wiper device having a wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c), having at least one wiper blade (18a, 18a′, 18a″) which is coupled to the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c), which includes at least one wiper lip (22a, 22a′, 22a″) for wiping a surface (16a; 16b; 16c) of a protective element (14a; 14b; 14c) of a sensor device (12a), in particular of a Lidar device, and having a wiper arm guide unit (24a) which is provided for moving the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c) in an at least substantially translatory manner along a guide path (50a). It is proposed that the wiper device has a rotary joint (26a) by means of which the wiper blade (18a, 18a′, 18a″) is pivotably mounted on the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c).

A wiper device (10a-10f) for wiping a sensor system (30a-30f), in particular a lidar system, with at least one wiper unit (12a-12f), which comprises at least one wiper lip (16a-16f) for wiping a surface (38a-38f) of the sensor system (30a-30f) and with at least one pressing unit (14a-14f). It is proposed that the pressing unit (14a-14f) comprises at least one spring element (24a; 52b; 54c, 56c; 58d; 60e; 62f, 64f) for pressing the wiper unit (12a-12f) against the surface (38a-38f).

A windshield wiper system (3, 3′) for wiping a windshield (2) of a vehicle (1) includes a wiper (4) mounted on a movable support element, a guiding device for guiding the support element along a predefined trajectory and a motor mounted on the support element and arranged for providing traction power to move the support element along the predefined trajectory. The wiper system is arranged to move the wiper (4), relative to the windshield, with a translation movement between first and second positions, and with a rotation movement around a rotation axis perpendicular to the windshield between the second position and a third position.

The washing arrangement comprises at least one first wiper driving actuator and at least one second wiper driving actuator to move at least one wiper, and at least one nozzle for injecting washing fluid towards the target device, wherein the wiper driving actuators are linked to each other such that, in use, the wiper is driven by the first wiper driving actuator along a first line to contact the surface of the target device to be washed, and by the second wiper driving actuator along a second line to wipe at least one portion of the surface of the target device.

The present invention relates to a wiping device for a detection system of a vehicle, including a wiper blade, a wiper arm, a motor unit and a drive unit. The drive unit includes a guidance block which carries the wiper arm, and which is inserted in a guidance frame, and a plurality of belt wheels.
