  • Washer nozzle for windshield washer system of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10065609
    Abstract: In a washer nozzle for a windshield washer system of a motor vehicle with a heating element held in a duct, a sealing compound for holding the heating element and a sealing element are manufactured from different materials and spaced apart from one another. Consequently, the sealing element may be manufactured from a material having poor heat conduction and the sealing compound from a material having good heat conduction. The washer nozzle has an especially long service life.

  • WINDOW CLEANING SYSTEM FOR WINDOWS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20090114254
    Abstract: In a window cleaning system for a motor vehicle, having a dual pump (2) and having a valve (7) which is switched by the dual pump (2), a pressure surge which is generated during the switching of the valve (7) is conducted into the dual pump (2). For this purpose, valve seats (22, 23) are connected to inlets (25, 26) of the valve (7). Conducting the pressure surge into the dual pump (2) prevents that, during the switching of the valve (7), washer fluid passes onto a window (15, 16) which is not to be sprayed.
