Definitions

  • the invention relates to a window wiper which, on a base part connected to a handle or connecting piece for attaching a handle or handle, has an elongate holder for a wiper strip made of elastic material and for a water-absorbing cushion which extends along the holder, the wiper strip in a Bracket extending, open channel of undercut cross-section, to which it has a substantially complementary cross-sectional section sits.
  • window wipers are widely known for use. They allow large areas to be cleaned quickly and effectively. However, a prerequisite is good accessibility, which often no longer exists in peripheral areas.
  • the invention has for its object to make window wipers of the type mentioned operational even under cramped conditions in peripheral areas.
  • this purpose is achieved in that the wiper strip is stiffened in such a way that it can function with a section pushed out from one or the other end of the channel, and a locking device is provided that fixes the wiper strip in such positions.
  • the wiper strip is pushed out more or less, if necessary, for example to get behind a radiator, on the windshield of the motor vehicle into the space that narrows in a wedge shape above the dashboard, etc.
  • the locking device expediently has a pressure bolt arranged in the base part and directed towards the wiper strip, which either holds the wiper strip only by friction or, preferably, engages in a recess, for which purpose the wiper strip is then provided with a series of recesses.
  • the stiffening of the wiper strip preferably consists of a metallic edging or insert strip.
  • a receptacle 4 is connected via a joint 2 and an arm 3 that can be locked in different angular positions, on which a holder 5 for a wiper strip 6 carries a base part in a manner not to be considered here 7 is attached.
  • the wiper strip 6 is held in a channel 8 formed in the holder 5, which opens outwards from a round cross section via a shaft.
  • the wiper strip 6 provided with a metallic border 9 fills the channel cross section with a round bead 10 and in the shaft with a part of the wiper blade 11 starting from the bead 10 and protruding from the channel 8.
  • a protruding end section 13 consists only of the rubber.
  • an insert bar is drawn for illustration purposes only. It would be an alternative to the border 9.
  • the cross section of the border 9 would also consist of the rubber 12 in this case.
  • the border 9 is provided with a series of recesses 15.
  • the recesses represent 15 depressions.
  • the recesses 15 serve to lock the wiper strip 6 by means of a pressure bolt 16 arranged in the base part 7.
  • the pressure bolt 16 is seated in a bore 17 divided into different sections, from which it protrudes at the top with a turning handle 18 and at the bottom with a widened pressure piece 19.
  • a compression spring 20 is biased between the pressure piece 19 and a shoulder in the bore 17.
  • the rotary handle 18 forms a cam guide 21 on a connecting piece projecting into the bore 17 together with a counterpart arranged here, in such a way that the rotary bolt 18 can be raised and the compression spring 20 raised and pulled out of the recess 15 by turning the rotary handle 18.
  • the wiper strip 6 can then be moved in the longitudinal direction of the channel 8 and fixed again by rotating the rotary handle 18 and engaging the pressure piece 19 in another recess 15.
  • the wiper strip 6 can protrude up to half its length from the holder 5 and, since it is much narrower than the rest, also provided with a water-absorbing cushion 22, window wipers, extend into narrow spaces.
