Abstract: A windshield wiper blade attachment with pressurized inflatable scrubbing member. The scrubbing member includes a sustained fluid release delivery system for dispersing a solvent through a polymer matrix or mixed fiber composite material. The scrubbing member further includes a polymeric abrasive textured surface element that aids in effectively scrubbing the windshield. Pressurization of the scrubber is achieved with fluid from the vehicle pressure washer system. System fluid pressure inflates the member in a manner whereby, when it contacts the windshield, the wiper blade is displaced until such time as the scrubbing member loses sufficient fluid by seepage to allow the wiper blade to again make contact with the windshield.

Abstract: A wiper blade for a car comprises a seat part, a moisture absorptive part, and a sweep part. The seat part is an elongated strip made of non-absorptive material and provides a cross section and a length thereof corresponding to a wiper frame on the car for joining with the wiper frame. The moisture absorptive part is made of water absorbable material and has a length and a width thereof corresponding to the seat part for joining with the seat part. The sweep part is an elongated strip with a gap and has a size corresponding to the absorptive part for joining with the absorptive part.

Abstract: A wiper allows controlled passage of water through at least one blade of the wiper. In one embodiment, the wiper comprises first and second substantially parallel wiper blades (26, 28), each having wiping faces (26c, 28c) in contact with a surface S and defining therebetween a channel (30). The blades (26, 28) have formations thereon, such as notches (34,36) dimensioned and configured to permit passage of water through first blade (26) to the channel (30) when the first blade (26) is moving in a first direction and to prevent passage of water through notches (34) when the first blade is moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second blade (28) formations, e.g., notches (34) permit water to pass through the formations when the second blade (28) is moving in the second direction and to prevent passage of water therethrough when the second blade is moving in the first direction. Water trapped within channel (30) will then be diverted out the ends of the channel.

Abstract: To enable a curved surface of a large curvature to be more effectively wiped, a wiper-blade device has notched portions in each blade section at required intervals to allow the blade section to bend easily so as to follow a curved surface to be wiped. The notched portions are disposed so that those of one of the blade sections do not overlap those of the other in the wiping direction, and for the purpose of providing a desired bent shape for the blade sections with the notched portions formed therein, elastic bending plates are attached to a holder section to which the blade sections are attached, and the blade sections each have a more sharply bent shape at the ends thereof than in the other portions thereof.

The wiper assembly includes a wiper blade designed for coupling to a wiper arm of a vehicle and including an articulation, a blade which is comprised of an elastomeric material and is positionable in a groove in the wiper blade, a scrubbing member which is couplable to the wiper blade for removing debris from the windshield, and a plurality of clip members for coupling the scrubbing member to the wiper blade.

Abstract: A wiper assembly for cleaning a windshield while supplying cleaning fluid thereto, comprising the usual motor-driven reciprocating arm, and a wiper member in the form of an elongated hollow body having fluid passages therein extending from a inlet to an outlet. The hollow body has an inner side for contacting a windshield and which is open so that fluid within the passages can contact the windshield, while peripheral wiper blades restrict flow of fluid along the windshield and out of the body, beyond the blades. A supply conduit leads from a pumped supply of cleaning fluid to the hollow body inlet, and an outlet conduit leads from the outlet to a reservoir, so that fluid which has entered the hollow body through the inlet and has served to clean the windshield can pass through the outlet conduit back to the reservoir, without passing into the environment.

Abstract: A secondary wiper to a windshield wiper is provided. The secondary wiper is detachably connected through connectors to an arched arm of the windshield wiper to locate in front of the latter relative to a sweeping direction of the windshield wiper. The secondary wiper includes a hair holder to which multiple lines of hair and a long wiping element are held. When the windshield wiper and the secondary wiper are brought to sweep across a windshield, the multiple lines of hairs on the secondary wiper first sweep granular and/or powdered dust off the windshield, so that such dust would not be brought by the windshield wiper to scrape across and damage the windshield. When the wipers are brought to reversely sweep across the windshield, the long wiping element on the secondary wiper effectively scrape watermarks off the windshield to enhance an overall function of the windshield wiper.

Abstract: A wiper apparatus employed in a windshield wiper system for supporting a pair of wiper elements via a wiper drive arm pivotably mounted proximate a vehicle windshield. The wiper apparatus comprises a drive arm attachment member adapted to be coupled with the wiper drive arm. In one embodiment, a pivot arm is pivotably secured to the drive arm attachment member about a pivot axis which intersects the windshield. The pivot arm is configured to carry the pair of wiper elements such that each of the wiper elements moves over a corresponding first arcuate path when the drive arm is rotated in a first direction and moves over a corresponding second arcuate path when the drive arm is rotated in an opposite direction. Each of the first and second paths of a first wiper element is different from each of the first and second paths of a second wiper element.

Abstract: A multiple-bladed windshield wiper is disclosed in which a blade multiple edged is axially rotated in a support bracket to bring a fresh blade edge into use. The multi-edged blade has two edge elements which are received in a pair of U-shaped channels forming part of the bracket. A fresh blade may be brought into use by slidably removing the blade element from the channels in the bracket, rotating the blade, then reinserting the blade edges into the channels in the bracket.

Abstract: A wiping strip for a motor vehicle screen wiper is in the form of a profiled element of vulcanised material consisting of rubber or an elastomeric material, having a surface layer for reducing the coefficient of friction between the wiping strip and a glass surface to be wiped. The surface layer is formed by immersion of the profiled element in a solution, or by exposing the profiled element to the solution in atomised form. The solution consists of a solvent with a powder, such as graphite, dispersed in it. The step of forming the surface layer is carried out during the step of vulcanising the material of the profiled element.
