  • Patent number: 6425160
    Abstract: An intermittent driving apparatus for a rotary window cleaner comprises a first wiper (2) which is connected to a rotating shaft (10) of a first motor (8) and is rotatably disposed on a front window (1), a second wiper (3) which is connected to a rotating shaft (11) of a second motor (9) and is rotatably disposed on a front window (1) adjacently to the first wiper (2), and an electronic control circuit having brush boards (18, 20) of two motors connected to each other so that the second motor (9) is rotated at a predetermined time after the first motor (8) is rotated. The electronic control circuit includes a signal generating circuit (30) for repeatedly sending signals to the brush board (18) of the first motor (8) at fixed time intervals, and a brake mechanism for stopping the two wipers at the start position for a predetermined time every one rotation.

  • Patent number: 6178587
    Abstract: A rotary window cleaner comprises a first wiper (2) and a second wiper (3) connected respectively to a rotating shaft (22) of a first motor (20) and a rotating shaft (25) of a second motor (21) which are arranged adjacently in series to each other, and said first wiper (2) and said second wiper (3) are rotatably disposed proximate with respect to each other on a window pane (1). The rotating shaft (22) of the first motor (20) is provided at one end with a movable gear (23) and the rotating shaft (25) of the second motor (21) has a fixed gear (28) mounted at one end opposite to the movable gear (23).
