The window-wiping device comprises a wiper blade having an elongate upper part, which is at least partially flexible, an elongate lower part, which is at least partially flexible, a plurality of connecting elements for connecting the upper part and the lower part, wherein the connecting elements are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal extent of the wiper blade, and wherein the connecting elements are designed to enable a motion of the upper part and of the lower part in relation to each other with a motion component along a longitudinal extent of the wiper blade, and a wiper-blade-side fastening part, wherein the wiper-blade-side fastening part can be detachably connected by means of a linear motion on the fastening element, and the wiper-blade-side fastening part can be connected to the fastening element in such a way that a rotational position about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the wiper blade and perpendicular to the linear motion is defined by a support and a further contact point.

A motor-powered windshield scourer for any type of a motor-powered vehicle and or motor craft. The motorized windshield scourer may have a motor propelled appendages or a singular appendage that have replaceable scouring attachments joined to the appendages. The motor that propels the appendages can be positioned anywhere on or in the motor vehicle/craft, whether under the hood, in the cabin or elsewhere. The motor driven appendages with joined scouring attachments may be mounted on the windshield of the vehicle directly opposite of the windshield wiper blades. When turned on, the motor may move the appendages with joined attachments in a side to side and/or up and down motion across the windshield. The appendages may include an unpliable metal such as: steel, titanium, tungsten, or inconel, and the scouring attachments may include nylon scouring pads or a vinyl coated mesh attached to and covering rubber or foam.

A wiper arm and a windscreen wiper system, wherein the wiper arm comprises a joint part and a lever part and a spring, wherein the parts form a common joint. The spring is embodied here as a torsion spring.

The invention proceeds from a method for operating a wiper device (10) of a vehicle (26), which wiper device has at least one wiper arm (12, 12) for holding a wiper blade (14, 14), in particular an aero wiper blade, at least one wiper drive (16) for driving the wiper arm (12, 12) and at least one computer unit (18) for controlling a wiping movement of the wiper arm (12, 12) using the wiper drive (16), wherein the computer unit (18) has a memory unit (20) in which a park position (22), which is associated with a position of the wiper drive (16), is stored.

The invention proposes that the computer unit (18) corrects the park position (22) as a function of a speed of the vehicle (26) in at least one adjustment step (24), wherein a corrected park position (28) lies, in particular in an incident-flow region of the wiper blade (14, 14).

The wiper blade-lifting system comprises a wiper arm with a motorized mechanism to cause the wiper blade to bend at a hinge point responsive to the presence of electrical power. The wiper blade-lifting system is useful to lift a wiper blade off the surface of a windshield when ice or freezing rain is anticipated, so that the wiper blade does not become frozen in place against the surface of the windshield. A second activation of the wiper blade-lifting system using electrical power of the opposite polarity causes the wiper blade to straighten and place the wiper blade back in contact with the windshield. The application of electrical power to the wiper blade-lifting system may be under control of an interior lift control or, in some embodiments, a blade lift remote control.

The invention relates to a window-wiping device for a vehicle having a fastening element fastened to a drive shaft, in particular a motor vehicle. The window-wiping device comprises a wiper blade having an elongate upper part, which is at least partially flexible, an elongate lower part, which is at least partially flexible, a plurality of connecting elements for connecting the upper part and the lower part, wherein the connecting elements are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal extent of the wiper blade, and wherein the connecting elements are designed to enable a motion of the upper part and of the lower part in relation to each other with a motion component along a longitudinal extent of the wiper blade, and a wiper-blade-side fastening part, wherein the wiper-blade-side fastening part can be detachably connected by means of a linear motion on the fastening element, and the wiper-blade-side fastening part can be connected to the fastening element in such a way that a rotational position about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the wiper blade and perpendicular to the linear motion is defined by a support and a further contact point.

A wiper device having a wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c), having at least one wiper blade (18a, 18a, 18a) which is coupled to the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c), which includes at least one wiper lip (22a, 22a, 22a) for wiping a surface (16a; 16b; 16c) of a protective element (14a; 14b; 14c) of a sensor device (12a), in particular of a Lidar device, and having a wiper arm guide unit (24a) which is provided for moving the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c) in an at least substantially translatory manner along a guide path (50a). It is proposed that the wiper device has a rotary joint (26a) by means of which the wiper blade (18a, 18a, 18a) is pivotably mounted on the wiper arm (20a; 20b; 20c).

A windshield wiper system for an aircraft includes a wiper drive shaft with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end includes a first threaded section between the first end and the second end, a second threaded section extending axially along the wiper drive shaft between the first threaded section and the second end relative to a center axis of the wiper drive shaft, and a spline section axially between the first threaded section and the second threaded section. Further included is a first nut to thread to the first threaded section, a second nut to thread to the second threaded section, and a wiper arm assembly including an adjustment sleeve configured to interlock with the spline section, a wiper arm with a first end configured to enclose the adjustment sleeve, and a second end of the wiper arm attached to a wiper blade.

Vehicle comprising a cab defining a driver compartment by a windshield, a wiping arrangement configured to wipe the windshield over a wiping area, the wiping arrangement comprising at least one wiper including a support movably mounted on the cab and a blade mounted on the support to contact the windshield along a contact length,
wherein the wiping arrangement includes an urging system configured to urge the blade against the windshield, and
wherein the urging system is configured to apply a pressure on the blade along the contact length by a pressurized fluid.
