  • Patent number: 8448289
    Abstract: The invention relates to a windscreen wiper drive arrangement (1) having a drive shaft (4), extending out of a gear mechanism housing (3), for a windscreen wiper, in which the drive shaft (4) is guided axially through a protective sleeve (15) which is sealed with respect to the drive shaft (4) by means of at least one inner sealing element (18) and with respect to a vehicle component (11) by means of at least one outer sealing element. The invention provides for the protective sleeve (15) to be secured to the gear mechanism housing in order to protect said protective sleeve against axial movement in the direction of the vehicle component (11) and/or against rotational movement relative to the gear mechanism housing (3) by frictional engagement and/or by means of at least one separate securing element (25).

  • Patent number: 7600803
    Abstract: A windshield wiper device (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, with at least one drive element (16) having an output shaft (28), which drive element is to be fastened to the vehicle body (26), and at least two fastening elements (22), which are able to engage in receptacle openings (24) on the vehicle body (26) and each having at least one damping element (36) for damping mechanical vibrations. It is proposed that the damping element (36) is firmly connected to the fastening element (22) and can be inserted into the receptacle openings (24) in a first assembly direction (30) and via a rotational movement in a second assembly direction (32) transverse to the first edge (80) of the receptacle opening (24) overlaps with a slot (40), wherein the slot (40) is arranged in a component (38, 64), which has a surface that is hard relative to the damping element (36) and is firmly connected to the damping element (36).
