Abstract: The invention relates to a wiper system for the front windscreens of motor vehicles. Said system comprises at least one wiper blade, which can be guided over the front windscreen (4) on a pivotable wiper arm (11), at least one bearing part (1) that can be pivoted about an axis (5), at least one fixing part (10) that can be connected to the bearing part (1) in a non-torsional manner and at least one single-axis articulation that connects the wiper arm (11) to the fixing part (10). The position of the connection between the bearing part (1) and fixing part (10) lies in the vicinity of the axis (5) about which the bearing part (1) is pivoted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a support (12), on which a bearing (18) is arranged, which supports a wiper shaft (22). In this case, a retaining element (20) is provided, which detachably connects the bearing (18) to the support.

Abstract: The invention starts with a windshield wiper device (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, with at least one drive element (16) that can be fastened to the vehicle body (26) and that has a driven shaft (28) and at least two axially rigid fastening elements (22), which engage in receiving openings (24) on the vehicle body (26) and are provided with at least one damping element (76, 90, 96) for damping mechanical vibrations.

Abstract: A windshield wiper device with fastening points (16), by means of which the windshield wiper device is fastened to a body (14) of a motor vehicle. Until now windshield wiper systems were screwed or riveted to the vehicle body so that special tools and a relatively great amount of time are required. The aim of the invention is improving the windshield wiper device so that it can be mounted on the vehicle body more quickly and therefore more cost-effectively. As a result, according to the invention, at least one of the fastening points (16) can move towards the vehicle body (14) for mounting the windshield wiper device.

Abstract: The invention starts with a windshield wiper device (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one driving element (16) that can be fastened to the motor vehicle, at least two essentially elongate fastening elements (22, 48) which are disposed in an axially rigid manner and are able to engage in receptacles (24, 46) of the motor vehicle, and at least one damping element (28, 60) for damping mechanical vibrations. It is proposed that the driving element (16) has a driven shaft (44) and the fastening elements (22, 48) are positioned such that the driving element (16) can be fastened by being rotated around the driven shaft (44) or an axis that runs essentially parallel thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a windshield wiper device, in particular for a motor vehicle, with at least one fastening part (10) for fastening a wiper arm on a wiper shaft (11). The windshield wiper device is located in an area where pedestrians often collide in an impact with a vehicle. As a result, the components of the windshield wiper device frequently represent a great risk of injury for pedestrians. The object of the invention is improving the windshield wiper device to the effect that the risk of injury to the pedestrian is reduced in an impact with the vehicle. According to the invention, the fastening part (10) is provided with a predetermined breaking point (12) and can therefore detach from the wiper shaft (11) in the case of an impact on at least one fastening part (10).

Abstract: A sensor device for determining the degree of wetting and/or soiling of a pane in a motor vehicle is provided. The sensor device detects the coating of moisture on the outer side of the pane via an optical beam which is arranged in the area of the pane. The sensor device includes a reflector positioned in the pane, the reflector directing the beam through the pane under conditions of total reflection or reflection at the outer side of the pane and at the reflector. The pane additionally includes a light filter which absorbs a selected wavelength of sunlight. The attenuation is reduced via an optically more absorbent layer of the light filter.

Abstract: A wiper installation structure has a wiper bearing which is guided and fastened in the preassembled state to form a part through a mounting opening of a motor vehicle. The wiper bearing is held in the mounting opening via a catch connection during fastening. The catch connection has at least one hook part fastened to the wiper bearing and held in a recess of the wiper bearing by a holding ring.
