A telescopic cleaning device, for a glass surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, includes at least one hollow conveying body () for the cleaning fluid, closed at an upstream end by an inlet flange () and accommodating a movable piston () which is configured so as to slide in said hollow conveying body (). The hollow conveying body additionally accommodates a rod () which extends jutting out from the inlet flange and around which the movable piston is capable of sliding, the movable piston and the rod being configured so as to allow the fluid to flow between them from the inlet flange to the distribution element. A heating element () is arranged on the rod (), between said rod and the movable piston (), such that the fluid flowing between the rod and the movable piston is set to flow in contact with the heating element ().

Telescopic cleaning device

A telescopic cleaning device is intended for projecting at least one cleaning and/or drying fluid onto a glass surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, such as an optical surface of an optical sensor of an optical detection system. The cleaning device includes at least one fluid distribution element, rendered movable, along an axis of elongation (X) and at the end of a movable piston between a retracted first position and an extended second position for cleaning and/or drying. The fluid distribution element comprises a distribution bar () inside which a fluid distribution channel () extends and the distribution bar is equipped with a heating device () integrated at least in part into the distribution bar in order to heat the fluid passing through said distribution channel.

A sensor apparatus includes a cylindrical sensor window defining an axis, and a tubular annular member fixed relative to the sensor window and substantially centered around the axis. The annular member includes a plurality of first nozzles and second nozzles arranged in an alternating pattern around the annular member. The first nozzles each have a direction of discharge in a radially inward and axial direction forming a first angle with the axis. The second nozzles each have a direction of discharge in a radially inward and axial direction forming a second angle with the axis, and the second angle is different than the first angle.

Cleaning apparatus for sensor

A telescopic cleaning device, for a glass surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, includes at least one hollow conveying body () for the cleaning fluid, closed at an upstream end by an inlet flange () and accommodating a movable piston () which is configured so as to slide in said hollow conveying body (). The hollow conveying body () additionally accommodates a rod () which extends jutting out from the inlet flange and around which the movable piston is capable of sliding, the movable piston and/or the rod being configured so as to allow the fluid to flow between them from the inlet flange to the distribution element. The rod comprises a heating device (), which comprises at least one heating element () extending in the interior of a heat conducting tube (), along the axis of elongation (X) of the device.

Windscreen wiper adapter

Electrical, hydraulic and mechanical connectors for a windscreen wiper of a vehicle are disclosed. The electrical connector includes a body bearing electrical plugs and detachable fixing means which are configured to cooperate with the mechanical connector. The hydraulic connector does not comprise such means and is fixed to the mechanical connector solely by the interlocking of its small tubes in the mechanical connector. The mechanical connector comprises two substantially parallel tabs having at their free ends notches for the fixing means of the electrical connector to be resiliently clipped thereto.

Connectors for a windscreen wiper of a vehicle

The invention relates to a connection device () suitable for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm, including at least one means () for rigid connection onto the wiper blade and a means () for linking to the wiper arm, said connection device () also including at least one duct () in which a washing liquid can circulate, and which extends in the longitudinal direction (OX) in which the wiper blade extends, characterized in that it includes at least one area () arranged along the duct () for distributing of a plurality of openings () for spraying the washing liquid. The invention can be used for motor vehicles.
