Patent number: 10688967Abstract: The invention relates to a windshield wiper device for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having a fastening element fastened to a drive shaft. The windshield wiper device comprises a wiper blade having an elongate upper part, which is at least partially flexible, an elongated lower part, which is at least partially flexible, and a plurality of connecting elements for connecting the upper part and the lower part. Along a longitudinal extension of the wiper blade, the connecting elements are spaced apart from one another, wherein the connecting elements are designed to allow a movement of the upper part and the lower part relative to one another, by means of a movement component, along a longitudinal extension of the wiper blade.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Weiler, Peter Deak, Stephan Mayer, Ulrich Metz, Viktor Hackl

Patent number: 4330094Abstract: There is measured the length of a thread withdrawn overhead from a spinning cop or from a yarn bobbin. In order to circumvent the fault sources caused by slip and/or thread elongation there is generated a signal which periodically varies in accordance with the movement of the thread release or detachment point at the spinning cop or at the yarn bobbin, as the case may be, and there are counted the number of cycles of the fundamental frequency of this signal. The thread length is obtained by multiplication of the counted number of cycles by the constant thread length of two successive winding layers for spinning cops or yarn bobbins of the same origin and the same thread. The periodic signal can be derived from the thread withdrawal force or from the number of revolutions of the detachment point. The method is particularly suitable when rewinding a number of spinning cops on to a cross-wound bobbin.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1980Date of Patent: May 18, 1982Inventor: Stephan Mayer
