Windshield wiper system

Wiper arm, especially for motor vehicle windshield wiper systems

In a wiper blade for a vehicular windshield wiper system, the main yoke is equipped with a spoiler constructed such that the overall height of the wiper blade is not enlarged and nevertheless the spoiler is prevented from touching the window pane to be cleaned. The spoiler is formed in such a way that the wiping pattern does not deteriorate at low or higher driving speeds.

A windshield wiper system includes two windshield wipers of which each is mounted on a separate wiper shaft and may be driven to and fro by a separate motor between an inner reversing position and an outer reversing position, which windshield wipers are at least partially superposed in their inner reversing position and rotate in opposite directions through one wiping cycle. The two windshield wipers are moved without collision even though they wipe an overlapping area. The first windshield wiper is driven by its associated motor with a greater angular velocity of the output shaft than the second windshield wiper is driven by its motor. In addition the first windshield wiper is stopped for a predetermined time in its inner reversing position between two wiping cycles.

A windshield wiper shaft is mounted in a bearing bushing, wherein the bearing bushing and the wiper shaft rest against each other with conical bearing surface portions to compensate for possible radial play. This is important in constructions in which the bearing bushing and the wiper shaft are injection-molded from plastics material.

This invention describes a wiper system for motor vehicles in which the wiper arm is radially retracted and extended during the to-and-fro motion, so that in comparison with conventional systems an enlarged wiping area is achieved. The coupled gear for retracting and extending a slide mounted in a guide member and connected with the wiper arm is arranged outside the guide member. The coupled gear drives a shaft operatively connected with the slide, which shaft is mounted in a bore of the actual drive shaft for driving the guide member in pendulum-fashion. Thereby the overall height and the weight of the guide member is reduced.

A drive unit for adjusting window panes, sunroofs, and seats in a vehicle has a reversible electric motor behind which is inserted a worm gear with a worm shaft. To prevent an undesired or unauthorized adjustment of a motor vehicle part, a brake device is provided. The brake device has a mechanical, one-way brake element with which the worm shaft may be coupled by an axial displacement. In order to reduce the effect of the brake device on the worm shaft when the window pane is adjusted by the electric motor, the brake element is the rotatable part of a rotation limiting device and, in the axial direction, it is supported on a stop.

Drive unit for adjusting window panes, sunroofs, seats and similar motor

In a circuit arrangement for a reversible electric motor for directly driving a windshield wiper the motor is operated at reduced rotational speed in predetermined angular ranges to ensure smooth starting and stopping in the reversing positions and an accurate parking position.

Windshield wiper speed control arrangement

A windshield wiper assembly comprising two windshield wipers each driven by a separate motor is described in which a control provides switching signals for switching on and off the wiper motors so as to achieve relatively smooth running of the wipers. In particular wiping areas one motor is continuously switched on and only the other motor, in dependence on the difference of the angular positions of the two wipers, is controlled such that collision of the wipers is prevented when the wiping areas overlap.

Windshield wiper control

A multiple lamp assembly is disclosed which uses stamped metal conductors. The problem of obtaining good contact to the center terminal of the lamp is corrected by providing an additional spring to the lamp recess. The added spring is held by a stepped extension fitted in a slot in the lamp recess.

A windshield wiper motor is disclosed in which there is a gear mechanism in a one piece plastic housing. The gear housing also houses the electrical terminals for the motor brushes and the brush springs. All these elements are placed in the one piece plastic housing.
