Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to wipers for wiping windscreens of vehicles .
- Wipers typically include blades of resiliently flexible material , such as rubber , which can be moved generally laterally across a window, to wipe water or the like from the window, with a longitudinally extending edge of the blade or squeegee .
- the edge has to be kept in close even abutting contact with the surface of the window or glass to improve wiping .
- An abutting load is typically transferred to the wiper by a wiper arm , which also moves the wiper assembly laterally , but the abutting load has to be distributed along the length of the blade or squeegee as evenly as possible to achieve best results .
- a wiper for a vehicle window including components as illustrated in the photo - PAGE 1 and drawing - PAGE 2.
- a rubber , silicone or flexible material SQUEEGEE 12 defining a longitudinal edge 14
- the track or vertebra 16 is attached to the metal yoke 24 by means of end tabs or claws 28 - the back claws being fixed and the front claws being free .
- the metal yoke 24 is centralized on the flexible track or vertebra 16 - as per drawing PAGE 2 .
- the rubber squeegee 12 is inserted into the cavity 13 of the track or vertebra 16 - refer PAGE 3 and in turn the curved SPRING WIRE 22 is inserted into the cavity 13 above the head of the rubber squeegee 12 - and centralized - refer Fig 2 - PAGE 3 .
- the spring wire 22 is shorter in its length to the flexible track or vertebra 16 . This in turn allows for ease to cut through the track / vertebra 16 and rubber squeegee 12 . This feature also makes the wiper blade " UNIVERSAL - CUT TO SIZE " . Referring to Fig 3 - PAGE 5 of the drawings , the wiper 10 has a curved shape , when not in use . The curved shape is a result of the curve of the spring element / wire 22 .
- the wiper 10 when in use , the wiper 10 is placed with the edge 14 of the squeegee 12 in an abutting relationship with a window surface (not shown ) .
- An abutting load is transferred to the bracket /metal yoke 24 in the direction 34 , and causes the wiper 10 to abut the window surface .
- the abutting load causes the spring element / wire 22 to be elastically deformed under the load , to follow the surface profile of the window , i.e. to be straightened in the case of a planar window such as the use illustrated in Fig 1 , and to exert an opposing biasing load on the wiper 10 , increasing in magnitude towards the ends of the wiper .
- the curved profile of the spring element / wire 22 can be varied , to ensure sufficient contact between the squeegee edge 14 and a window surface , under different load conditions , different curvature of the surface , etc .
- the invention illustrated holds the advantage of low cost , universal size and simplicity of construction , while being capable of exerting a substantially uniformly distributed biasing load along the length of the edge of 14 , to ensure good contact between the edge and the window surface .
- the invention holds the further advantage that the wiper 10 is attached to a wiper arm (not shown ) in the conventional manner , so that the wiper 10 can be used to replace a conventional wiper .
