Definitions

  • the invention relates to a window wiper according to the preamble of claim 1, the one with a handle or connector an elongated base part for attaching a handle or handle Holder for a wiper strip made of elastic material and for along the bracket has extending water-absorbing pillow, wherein the wiper strip in an open channel of undercut running in the holder Cross-section to which they have a substantially complementary cross-sectional section has, sits.
  • DE-U-7830 211 has the task of developing a window cleaning device, the parts of which can be easily and quickly exchanged and adjusted in relation to one another, that cleaning is easy even behind radiators or other obstacles can be carried out.
  • the handle of the device is on all sides swiveling and laterally displaceable.
  • the window cleaning device described by DE-U-7830 211 has a side sliding and exchangeable wiper blade, a fur roller for moistening the windows as well as a handle.
  • the handle is on a clamping screw with a wiper blade supporting back profile strip connected. In the back profile strip are the wiper blade and the fur roller is held interchangeably.
  • the handle is over a ball in one Terminal block so connected to the rest of the device that with it in each any position can be worked.
  • a slot in the terminal strip makes it possible Move the device to the side opposite the handle. This also allows areas behind Easy to clean obstacles such as radiators and the like.
  • This wiper blade is inserted with a retaining profile strip between the two lips of the back profile strip and held there immovably by bending the free ends of the retaining profile strip.
  • window wipers are widely known for use. You allow cleaning large areas quickly and effectively. However, a good prerequisite is required Accessibility that often no longer exists in peripheral areas.
  • the invention has for its object window wipers of the type mentioned to make it operational even in cramped conditions in peripheral areas.
  • the wiper strip is so stiffened that they are pushed out with one from one or the other end of the channel Section is functional, and a fixing the wiper strip in such positions in the direction of displacement protruding from the cushion Lock is set up.
  • the wiper strip is pushed out more or less, for example to get behind a radiator on the windshield of the car into the wedge-shaped space below the valve block etc..
  • the lock expediently has one arranged in the base part on the Wiper strip directed push pin on either the wiper strip only by friction holds or, preferably, by engaging in a recess, for which then the wiper strip is provided with a series of depressions.
  • the stiffening of the wiper strip preferably consists of a metallic border or shelf.
  • a receptacle 1 for a handle that can also be used directly as a handle via a joint 2 that can be locked in different angular positions and an arm 3 a receptacle 4 connected to the in a way not to be considered here a holder 5 for a wiper strip 6 carrying base part 7 is attached.
  • the wiper strip 6 is held in a channel 8 formed in the holder 5, the 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 part of that Bead 10 outgoing and protruding from the channel 8 wiper blade 11.
  • the metallic border 9 of the wiper strip 6, which is otherwise made of rubber 12 ends at the wiper blade 11 at a short distance from the channel 8 and is at the top pulled further forward as a support.
  • 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 exist in this case likewise from the rubber 12.
  • the border 9 is provided with a series of recesses 15. In the wiper strip 6 in total, the recesses represent 15 depressions.
  • the recesses 15 serve to lock the wiper strip 6 by means of a Base part 7 arranged pressure pin 16.
  • the pressure pin 16 sits in one in different Sections articulated bore 17, from which it is above with a turning handle 18 and protrudes below with a widened pressure piece 19. Between the pressure piece 19 and a paragraph in the bore 17, a compression spring 20 is biased.
  • the Twist grip 18 forms on a protruding into the bore 17 together with a counterpart arranged here a curve guide 21, such that by twisting the rotary handle 18 of the pressure pin 16 with further tensioning of the compression spring 20 raised and pulled out of the recess 15.
  • the wiper strip 6 can then be moved in the longitudinal direction of the channel 8 and through renewed rotation of the rotary handle 18 and engagement of the pressure piece 19 in another Fix recess 15 again.
  • 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 with one provided water-absorbing pillow 22, window wiper, in narrow spaces pass.
  • bracket 5 each arranged shock absorber 23 rounded at its corners and edges a softer plastic allows you to bump into the objects, behind which the extended wiper strip 6 should come.
