Abstract

422,217. Windscreen-cleaners. HOUDAILLE HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION CO., Ltd., and KING, A. W., 69, Drayton Gardens, Fulham Road, London, MIDLAND MOTOR BODY CO., Ltd., and HALLWOOD, R., Aldbourne Works, Coventry. July 28,1933, No. 21294. [Class 138 (i)] A windscreen - cleaner system for vehicles comprises a movable window adapted to swing about a horizontal axis at the top of the windscreen, and more than one wiper arm and a driving motor which are mounted on the bodywork of the vehicle, each arm being adapted to be moved at will by the driver of the vehicle into a position in which it is clear of the screen. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3, a casing 14 housing a motor and transmission mechanism for oscillating a wiper 18, is secured to a cross-member near the scuttle 11. The member also carries a shaft 16 for a second wiper 17. A sprocket wheel 25 is fixed to the shaft 19 carrying the wiper 18, and a sprocket wheel 26 is connected through a clutch 27 with the shaft 16. The shaft 19 is connected through a clutch 28 with the motor and transmission mechanism. The clutches 27, 28 are operated by handles 30, 31, respectively, whereby the wipers may be declutched and turned into positions clear of the screen. The sprocket wheels 25, 26 are engaged by short lengths of chain connected by wire 34, a tension spring being provided to maintain the chain drive taut. In a modification shown in Fig.4, the driving motor is disposed away from the wiper shafts 16, 19, being adapted to drive the shaft 16 by means of pulleys 37, 49 and chains 47, 50, connected by flexible wires 51. The shaft 19 is driven from the shaft 16 by means of pulleys 36, 52, and chains 46, 53, connected by wires 54. Clutches are provided through which the wipers are operatively connected to the transmission mechanism. As shown in Fig. 6, the wiper 17 is fixed to the shaft 16, to which is also fixed the pulley 36 connected through a chain 46 to the pulley associated with the wiper 18. The pulley 37 for transmitting the drive from the motor is rotatably mounted on a bearing member 39 having a hollow extension 40 surrounding the shaft 16. A spring 43 acts to press the pulley 36 towards the pulley 37. The adjacent faces of the pulleys are formed to provide a dog clutch. To disconnect the wiper 17 from the transmission mechanism, the shaft 16 is moved axially to separate the pulleys, and then turned through a right-angle so that the wiper is clear of the screen. According to the Provisional Specification, the motor and transmission mechanism may be mounted on a fixed part of the vehicle above the movable windscreen.
