The system comprises of a platform that is used to secure a battery, a motor, a control, a pair of suction cups, an oscillating gear and an arm that holds a windshield wiper. The suction cups are positioned at opposite ends of the platform so that a center of gravity is created at a midpoint of the platform. The oscillating gear is positioned at the midpoint of the platform and it connects via a connector gear rod to a motor gear that is attached to the motor. The battery, motor and the control are operatively connected. The oscillating gear attaches to the arm. The windshield wiper inserts within the arm of the windshield wiper system.

Abstract: When an ECU 41 for wiper motor detects that a SP operation has been carried out in the midst of swinging motion of a wiper blade, the ECU 41 for wiper motor outputs a motor stopping signal to an ECU 42 for washer pump. When the ECU 42 for washer pump receives the motor stopping signal, the ECU 42 for washer pump stops a washer pump 30 even if an injection switch for jetting out washer fluid is on. In this manner, when a wiper blade is stopped from being swung for replacement of the wiper member, the pump for causing washer fluid to jet out is stopped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the waste of washer fluid, and to further save washer fluid.
