Abstract
This concealed wiper system comprises a wiper motor (1) having a mechanism to house the wiper arm in the retracted position by reversing rotation of the wiper motor; an oscillator (50) in which the oscillation frequency is varied by means of a variable resistor (59) installed within the automobile compartment; a wiper actuation switch (3) for wiper actuation selection; a wiper motor-position detector (2) for detecting wiper motor output shaft position; a wiper motor drive circuit (6) for driving the wiper motor; and an intermittent actuation control device employing a microcomputer (5). Intermittent actuation is selected by means of said wiper actuation switch (3), the intermittent pause period is based upon signals from said wiper motor-position detector (2) and signals from said means of oscillation (50), said wiper motor drive circuit (6) is controlled by the microcomputer (5).
