  • Patent number: 5988529
    Abstract: A liquid spray arrangement for a window has a spray nozzle which includes an inflow chamber, an interaction chamber, and an oscillator in the interaction chamber. The oscillator divides the interaction chamber into two spray channels and is caused to oscillate by the flow of a cleaning liquid, as a result of which a spray jet is sprayed onto the window alternately at two different angles. This makes it possible to increase the proportion of cleaning liquid which contributes to the cleaning of the window, and thus to reduce the volume of cleaning liquid in the storage container.
