Abstract: A wiper device including a wiper member that includes a wiper arm to which a wiper blade is coupled, a base end portion of the wiper arm being supported by a support section provided at a vehicle, and the wiper member being configured to of undergo displacement relative to the vehicle, a drive wheel that is rotatably supported by the wiper member at a position of the wiper member which is separated from the support section, and that rolls across a running face provided at the vehicle so as to displace the wiper member relative to the vehicle, and a motor that is supported by the wiper member so as to undergo displacement together with the wiper member, and that drives rotation of the drive wheel.

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: The invention is based on a tube mounting (10) having a motor mounting (14, 46), the latter having an opening (16) for a gear dome (40) as well as screw holes (18) disposed around the dome and an indentation (20, 52) in which a mounting tube (12, 50) is embedded and retained. It is proposed that the motor mounting (14, 46) is a shaped sheet-metal part, and the indentation (20, 52) extends between at least one screw hole (18) and the opening (16) for the gear dome (40), and adjacent to the opening (16) and transversely to the indentation (20, 52), a tab (24, 48) is cut out, which is curved contrary to the indentation (20, 52) and surrounds the mounting tube (12, 50).

Abstract: A windshield wiper assembly for use in a motor vehicle. An electric motor is operatively connected to and powered by an on-board electrical supply provided by the vehicle. The motor forms a part of a housing mounted within an engine compartment of the vehicle at a location remote from the vehicles windshield. A driving wheel and linkage member convert a rotary output of the motor into a translating and reciprocating driving force. A drive mechanism is mounted proximate a lower edge of the windshield, beneath a cowl portion, and with a first wiper arm pivotally securing to the drive mechanism at a first location and a second wiper arm likewise pivotally securing to the drive mechanism at a second location. An elongated and internally hollowed sleeve extends between the housing and the drive mechanism. The sleeve encloses a flexible and incompressible cable securing to the motor and drive housing at a first end and to the drive mechanism at a second end.

The drive mechanism provides a gear and belt arrangement for actuating the first and second wiper arms in a synchronous manner. One or more elongated and internally hollowed sleeves extend between the housing and the drive mechanism.
