20100230991 | AUTOMOBILE VEHICLE WITH A WIPERLESS CLEANING SYSTEM FOR GLAZED SURFACES AND THE LIKE - The automobile vehicle ( | 09-16-2010 |
20140117701 | Compressed Air Vehicle Screen Clearing System - A compressed air system is provided for automotive or motorcycle use, wherein compressed air is utilized to assist clearing a windshield or a windscreen during foul weather. The system comprises an electrically driven or belt driven air compressor, a compressed air reservoir tank, a network of air lines throughout the vehicle or attached to a rider's helmet, and a plurality of air nozzles that release the air from the air lines on command. The ejected air is highly pressurized and exits at a high velocity to remove water droplets and particles for improved clarity through the windshield or wind screen. A user-operated switch controls at least one valve to release the compressed air from the network of air lines and through the nozzles, wherein the compressed air tank is continually replenished to allow for consistent and repeated bursts of compressed air over an extended period. | 05-01-2014 |
20150102626 | VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM WITH ENERGY-ABSORBING FEATURE - A windshield wiper system for a vehicle includes a wiper arm pivot shaft having a pivot axis extending through the pivot shaft. An energy-absorbing feature is arranged to absorb energy of an external force applied to the wiper arm pivot shaft. The energy-absorbing feature enables the wiper arm pivot shaft to move away from the external force. | 04-16-2015 |
20150367817 | WIPER BLADE FOR WIPING A SURFACE OF A WINDSHIELD - A vehicle includes a windshield and a wiper assembly. The windshield presents a surface. The wiper assembly includes an arm and a wiper blade. The arm is movably attached to the vehicle. The wiper blade is operatively attached to the arm. The wiper blade includes a wiping member. The wiping member defines a longitudinal axis and extends between a first end and a second end. The wiping member has a plurality of radially extending protrusions that circumferentially surround the longitudinal axis such that the wiping member has a generally polygonal shaped cross-section. At least one of the protrusions is configured to maintain wiping contact relationship with the surface of the windshield as the arm moves the wiper blade to wipe the surface of the windshield. | 12-24-2015 |

20130069387 | PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE WIPER ASSEMBLY - A protective device for a vehicle wiper assembly is provided. The protective device is configured to selectively at least partially cover the wiper assembly and prevent the wiper assembly from being pulled away from the vehicle. For example, the protective device may prevent entanglement of the wiper assembly with external elements such as those found in automatic car wash facilities. The device may include a member movable between first and second positions such that the member in the second position is configured to at least partially cover or encapsulate the wiper assembly. An active material actuator may be used to move the member between the first and second positions. In another embodiment, the device includes a member operatively connected to and configured to stiffen a pivot point of the wiper assembly. | 03-21-2013 |
20150291132 | Vehicle Wiper Motor Unit Assembly With Improved Assemblability - A vehicle wiper motor unit assembly, which is fixed to a vehicle body panel of a vehicle and accommodates a wiper motor unit, includes: a motor fixing portion having a plurality of coupling holes that fix the wiper motor unit; a connection bridge that protrudes from the motor fixing portion toward the vehicle body panel; and a first fixing support portion and a second fixing support portion that are integrally formed at an end portion of the connection bridge and supports a bottom surface of the vehicle body panel and a top surface of the vehicle body panel, respectively, when the motor fixing portion is rotated around a central axis of the wiper motor unit fixed to the motor fixing portion. | 10-15-2015 |
20160068137 | UPGRADEABLE WINDSHIELD ASSEMBLY - A windshield includes a notch formed along an edge, and a motor pocket secured adjacent the notch. The motor pocket includes assembly components for securing a windshield accessory, such as a windshield wiper system. A pocket lid is secured to the motor pocket such that the notch is covered for use without the windshield accessory. The assembly facilitates installation of the windshield accessory if desired. | 03-10-2016 |
