Abstract: A wiper system having an electric motor operatively associated with a primary pivot shaft assembly. Also included is a secondary pivot shaft assembly. A first windshield wiper is coupled to the primary pivot shaft assembly, and a second windshield wiper is coupled to the secondary pivot shaft assembly. The system includes a cable assembly having at least one cable operatively associated with the primary pivot shaft assembly and the secondary pivot shaft assembly, wherein the electric motor is capable of rotating the primary pivot shaft assembly and the first windshield wiper, wherein rotation of the primary pivot shaft assembly generates tension in the at least one cable, and wherein the at least one cable tension generates rotation of the secondary pivot shaft assembly and the second windshield wiper.

Abstract: An anchorage assembly 10 which includes a generally rectangular housing 16, an anchor member 20, and a resilient and deformable material or member 28 which is coupled to member 20 and which engages housing 16, thereby regulating or controlling the movement of member 20 relative to housing 16 and absorbing vibration and impact loads imparted upon member 20.

Abstract: A vehicle window wiper assembly has a one-piece carrier with a central section and flexible tips to allow the wiper to accommodate windows of high curvature. The tips have a higher flexibility than the central section, due in part to molded serrations on the bottom surface in combination with decreased thickness and width with respect to the central section. The central section and the tips also have different radii of curvature which provide a uniform pressure distribution across the window during wiping operation, even at high curvature window locations. A blade channel extends the longitudinal length of the carrier for receiving a wiper blade therein. The central section has a molded air foil defined by a downwardly projecting, longitudinally extending lip on a leading edge for preventing wiper assembly lift. The rear edge of the central section may have similar lip.
