Abstract: This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a heated wiper arm system which is electrically heated for use on the windshields of vehicles, such as automobiles, trucks, trains, boats, airplanes and the like so as to prevent the accumulation of ice, sleet or snow on the arm of the wiper assembly. More particularly, this invention has references to an improved heating arrangement designed to be used in windshield wiper arm assemblies. A heating element of resistance wire is disposed the entire length of the passageway of The wiper arm system and beyond into the blade carrier. The heating arrangement is connected to the vehicle battery to heat the heating element allowing the entire outer circumference of the entire wiper arm system and blade carrier to melt frozen precipitation on the wiper arm assembly and blade carrier.
