  • Patent number: 8925834
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit for dispensing windshield washer fluid for a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the dispensing circuit is characterized in that it includes a float (11) housed inside a chamber (12) of a stationary body (13) so as to occupy a top position enabling the flow of the windshield washer fluid toward the nozzles, and a bottom position in which the chamber (12) is inoperative, an in which the float blocks the flow of the windshield washer fluid to the tank (2). The invention can be used in the automotive field.
