Disclosed is a cleaning device for a washing apparatus arranged in a vehicle, comprising a housing with a chamber which is formed in the housing, is configured to be filled with cleaning fluid and is hydraulically connectable to at least one spray nozzle for the cleaning fluid, and with at least one heatable heating wire protruding at least in sections into the chamber. To obtain high functional reliability even at low temperatures and to permit particularly rapid and reliable deicing, a heat-conducting element is arranged in the chamber to enlarge a heat-transferring convection surface, said heat-conducting element absorbing the heat from the heating wire, and being at least partially, and preferably completely, surrounded by the cleaning fluid.

Heated cleaning device

In a washer nozzle for a windshield washer system of a motor vehicle with a heating element held in a duct, a sealing compound for holding the heating element and a sealing element are manufactured from different materials and spaced apart from one another. Consequently, the sealing element may be manufactured from a material having poor heat conduction and the sealing compound from a material having good heat conduction. The washer nozzle has an especially long service life.

Washer nozzle for windshield washer system of a motor vehicle

A washer nozzle for a screen wash system of a motor vehicle has a pre-assembled structural unit of a jet insert and a check valve. This structural unit is pressed into a shaft of a housing. This makes the washer nozzle particularly easy to install.

Washer nozzle for a screen wash system

In a device () for cleaning a window () or a lens of a motor vehicle, a wash nozzle () is of spherical design and is held in a ball socket () of a nozzle stem (). The wash nozzle () produces a fan-type jet () and can be adjusted by an angle of inclination &#x3b1; and a tilting angle &#x3b2; in relation to the nozzle stem (). The device can be freely adjusted to different designs of the motor vehicle.

Device for cleaning a window or lens

In the case of a windshield washer device () for a motor vehicle, a nozzle holder () is connected via a spring element () to a fastening flange () fastened to the motor vehicle. The nozzle holder () has a connection () for a washer fluid line (). The spring element () is formed as a cross-sectional tapering () of a connecting element (). The angle of inclination of the nozzle holder () and therefore the angle of inclination of a washer nozzle () arranged in the nozzle holder () can be adjusted via an adjusting means () at a distance from the spring element ().
