A motor vehicle wiper has a wiper arm with a wiper blade and is in operative connection with a wiper shaft. The wiper arm is fastened on a bearing part that is movably supported on the wiper shaft.

The subject-matter of the invention is a water draining cover (1) for an automotive windshield wiping mechanism, containing a positive connection element (4) of the cover, adapted for securing on the body (2) of the shaft (11), containing an opening on the shaft (5) and surrounded by a gutter part (6) containing a drainage opening (7), characterized in that the positive connection element of the cover (4) does not have a continuous rotary symmetry with regard to the X axis, and in each transverse section in the plane perpendicular to the X axis it has the shape of a convex figure, and furthermore the positive connection element of the body (3) has means of blocking the movement of the cover (1) in a direction parallel to the X axis when the cover (1) is mounted on the body (2), preferably in the form of at least one projection and/or recess (9), preferably perpendicular to the X axis, while the X axis is defined as a straight line passing through the opening on the shaft (5), coinciding with the axis of rotation of the shaft (11) when the cover (1) is properly mounted on the body (2). The subject-matter of the invention is also the body (2) of a shaft (11) corresponding to the cover of the invention, as well as an automotive windshield wiper mechanism containing the cover (1) and the body (2).

The invention relates to a fastening arrangement (10) comprising a wiper bearing (11) of a windscreen wiper arrangement of a vehicle. Said wiper bearing (11) comprises a bearing element (13) having a planar first side (28); a bearing section which protrudes from the first side (28) of the bearing element (13) for guiding a wiper shaft (12); one or more gripping elements (19a, 19b) which are arranged on the bearing section (13a) and respectively comprising a gripping surface which is arranged parallel to the surface of the first side (28) of the bearing element (13).

A wiper device (10) having a wiper arm rod (14), a wiper blade adapter (20) which has a fluidic connecting element (30), a fluidic coupling element (34) for producing a fluidic connection to the fluidic connecting element (30), a fluid line (62), which is connected to the fluidic coupling element (34) and is provided for transporting wiping liquid along the wiper arm rod (14) to the fluidic coupling element (34), and a wiper arm adapter (16) which comprises a bearing unit (24) which is provided for mounting the wiper blade adapter (20) on the wiper arm adapter (16) so as to be pivotable about a wiper blade adapter pivot axis (22). The fluidic coupling element (34) is mounted movably on the wiper arm adapter (16).

The versatility of a water collecting member is raised while improving the ease of assembly of the water collecting member. A water collecting member 80 is formed with plural first marks 90 serving as markers for assembly of the water collecting member 80 to a first pivot holder 20. The first pivot holder 20 is formed with a second mark 92 serving as a guide for the correct assembly orientation of the water collecting member 80 to the first pivot holder 20. The second mark 92 is formed corresponding to one out of the plural first marks 90, and is configured so as to form a pair with that first mark 90. The water collecting member 80 can be assembled in the correct position by aligning the second mark 92 and the first mark 90 that form a pair when assembling the water collecting member 80 to the first pivot holder 20. This thereby enables incorrect assembly of the water collecting member 80 to be prevented when assembling the water collecting member 80 to the first pivot holder 20 in cases in which a universal water collecting member 80 is employed in various vehicle models.

A wiper device includes a pivot shaft, a pivot holder, a water receiving cap and a washer. The pivot holder includes a pivot support portion and a mounting leg. The pivot support portion pivotally supports the pivot shaft. The water receiving cap includes a boss portion and an umbrella portion. The boss portion is fitted onto the pivot support portion. The washer is fixed to a circumference of the pivot shaft at a portion projecting from a distal end of the pivot support portion. At least part of the boss portion overlaps the washer in an axial direction. The umbrella portion includes a projection that projects in the axial direction. The projection opposes the mounting leg in a circumferential direction without engaging the mounting leg in the axial direction.

A vehicle is provided that includes a wiper-integrated tailgate handle switch mounted to a window glass of a tailgate. The wiper-integrated tailgate handle switch includes a tailgate handle switch, which is configured to press a current carrying switch arranged in the internal space thereof using the height of an insertion space defined by a difference in height between transverse and longitudinal bodies of a handle switch housing, and a wiper. Therefore, a degree of freedom in design of the tailgate is increased which improves the aesthetic of the tailgate by removing the tailgate handle switch from the tailgate.

A wiper (14) for wiping a window pane (12) of a motor vehicle is provided, having a drive shaft (16) that can be driven by a motor, and a wiper lever (18) connected to the drive shaft (16) for moving a wiper blade. The wiper lever (18) is flexibly bendable. A maximum bending angle (20) of the wiper lever (18) around a bending axis extending perpendicular to the drive shaft (16) is limited by a limit stop (32) to bending of the wiper lever (18) in the range of elastic deformation. The limit stop (32) makes stop contact at the maximum bending angle (20) and can keep the deformation of the wiper lever (18) reliably in the range of elastic deformation, thus reducing the risk of damage to wipers (14).

The invention relates to a cap A comprising a first portion 1 that is able to cover a first end of a wiper arm of a wiping system of a vehicle, and a second portion 2 comprising an attachment means for attaching the cap A to the driving arm, characterized in that this attachment means comprises at least one rotation zone 222 that is arranged so as to allow the cap A to rotate with respect to the driving arm, and a zone 223 for locking said cap A to said driving arm.

A wiper system for a vehicle includes: a glass wiper disposed on a window glass of a vehicle; a motor providing driving power to the glass wiper; a camera capturing images of surroundings of the vehicle; and a camera wiper disposed on a camera lens of the camera and connected to the motor by a linkage to operate in association with the glass wiper such that the camera wiper swings back and forth over the camera lens while the glass wiper swings back and forth over the window glass.
