  • Patent number: 5454134
    Abstract: A windshield washing system, especially for motor vehicles, is provided with a wiper shaft, on which a wiper arm can be non-rotatably fastened and which wiper shaft includes an axial bore in order to receive a line made from form-stable plastic material with at least one channel, through which at least one washing nozzle moving in pendular motion with the wiper arm during the wiping process can be provided with washing liquid. In order to ensure that the wiper shaft takes along the line, the line is form-fittingly connected with the wiper shaft in the swivelling direction of said wiper shaft at the end of the wiper shaft turned away from the wiper arm.

  • Patent number: 5398370
    Abstract: This invention refers to a wiper system for windshields of motor vehicles. This wiper system comprises a wiper arm which can be attached to an oscillatorily drivable wiper shaft by way of an attachment piece. The wiper arm comprises a joint piece being essentially U-shaped in cross-section, flexibly embracing the attachment piece with its planar walls, and a cover for the attachment piece essentially U-shaped in cross-section and embracing the attachment plane with its planar walls. Furthermore, the wiping system is provided with a fluid line, which is guided along the wiper arm in order to supply a washing nozzle with washing fluid. The fluid line is easily assembled in the wiper arm at the attachment piece through a depression in which the fluid line extends. Beyond the depression in the attachment piece the fluid line extends through the wiper arm by being surrounded by a planar wall of the joint piece or the cover and a pressure spring.
