  • Publication number: 20230219651
    Abstract: A fastening system configured for fastening a device to a hollow component having two holes situated opposite one another. The fastening system includes a first screw that has a head and that is designed to be guided through a first hole of the holes, and a sliding sleeve having an outer diameter that has a tolerance. The sliding sleeve is designed to accept the first screw at the second hole of the holes. An outer diameter of the sliding sleeve is displaceable in the axial direction of the first screw due to a clearance fit.

  • Patent number: 8156604
    Abstract: A windshield wiper device (10), particularly for a motor vehicle, is proposed. This windshield wiper device comprises a wiper bearing (14) supporting a wiper shaft (16), which has an undercut (48) in which a securing device (40) for axially fixing the wiper shaft (16) in the wiper bearing (14) is arranged. The securing device (40) can be displaced by the effects of a defined axial force component (F) on the wiper shaft (16), whereby the wiper shaft (16) can be displaced in relationship to the wiper bearing (14). According to the invention, the securing device (40) comprises a bushing section (42) with an indentation (50), which engages in the undercut (48) of the wiper shaft (16).

  • Patent number: 7256565
    Abstract: A wiper system using two wipers and two wiper motors, which drive the wipers and of which at least one first wiper motor forms a sub-assembly with an electronic control unit. The second wiper motor is a rotary motor having only one sensory system for detecting the absolute and relative rotational position of its driven shaft, which generates corresponding signals for the control unit of the first wiper motor, and the first wiper motor, in the rotational speed and the rotational position of its driven shaft, is regulated by the control unit as a function of the rotational position and the rotational speed of the driven shaft of the second wiper motor.
