Abstract

Vehicles equipped with windscreen washers have hitherto had a reservoir of limited capacity. As the windscreen washer is used more frequently when it rains, drivers often run out of liquid at such times. The present invention consists in overcoming this problem and in automatically filling the reservoir, if the driver so wishes, via a tube 3 fitted with a shutoff device 4.

Description

La présente invention consiste à récupérer l'eau de ruissellement s'écoulant sur un véhicule automobile (planche unique Rep. 7) en un point bas judicieusement choisi, par exemple le bas des gouttières, la goulotte située en bas du pare-brise (planche unique Rep. 1), etc ... et à diriger cette eau vers le réservoir du lave glace à l'aide d'une canalisation (Rep. 3). The present invention consists in recovering runoff water flowing on a motor vehicle (single board Rep. 7) at a carefully chosen low point, for example the bottom of the gutters, the chute located at the bottom of the windshield (board single Rep. 1), etc ... and direct this water to the windshield washer reservoir using a pipe (Rep. 3).

Il sera possible d'interposer un filtre (Rep. 2) aisément démontable afin d'éviter l'introduction de corps étrangers dans le réservoir (Rep. 6). It will be possible to interpose a filter (Rep. 2) that can be easily removed in order to avoid the introduction of foreign bodies into the tank (Rep. 6).

Dans une version préférentielle de l'invention, il sera souhaitable de placer sur la canalisation de remplissage un dispositif d'obturation (manuel ou commandé Rep. 4) permettant à l'automobiliste d'utiliser d'abord le contenu de son réservoir; le dispositif de récupération n'étant utilisé à ce moment qu'à titre de secours. In a preferred version of the invention, it will be desirable to place on the filling pipe a closure device (manual or controlled Rep. 4) allowing the motorist to first use the contents of his tank; the recovery device being used at this time only as a backup.

Il sera également possible de placer sur le réservoir un dispositif de trop plein (Rep. 5) afin de canaliser l'écoulement de l'eau en surplus.  It will also be possible to place an overflow device (Rep. 5) on the tank in order to channel the flow of excess water.
