. The invention relates to devices for the cleaning of the transparent member of windshields as commonly adapted to motor vehicles and the like, and Consists i of, cleaning elements adapted to eing reversed to provide wiping elements for the removal of moisture, dust and the like that has a tendency to form upon the transparent member and further provides fora re-. versing of the cleaning element wherein after the reversal has taken place, to' provide one or more cutting elements for the removal of, snow, ice, sleet. andother solids that form from time totime upon the transparent w member of the windshield.
A further object of my invention consists in providing a simple-device that is adaptable to having the cleaning elements reversed upon a supporting and operating arm and to provide cleaning elements adapted to the removal of the 11 uids or solids, the same being adapted to eing actuated by manual or automatic means.
A still further object of my invention consists in providing a device of simple-construction, of but few parts, one that will not easily get out of order or. out of repair and one that may be adapted to any of the devices now on the market for themanual 3a or automatic cleaning of Windshields.
With these and incidental objects in view,
the invention consists in certain novel vfeatures of construction and combination of arts, the essential objects of which are set 3 orth in the appended claims and apreferred particularly illustrate the construction of I ndevice. I
v f ig. 4 is a view taken onthe section line of Fig. 3 looking in ghe direction the arrows point.
tFig. 5 is a-view taken on the section line 5 -5 of Fig. 3 lookipg in the direction the arrows point. 7
primarily form of embodiment of which is hereinafter Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.
1 is a transparent member of a windshield encased within the supporting frame 2. The operating arm of my device is shown at 3 which may be attached to a'windshield 0peratingdevice 4 that may be of the manually 0 rated type, or of the automatic type. neye 5 is formed in the outer end of the arm 3 and the journal pin 6 passes through the eye of the arm and is positioned within the side walls of the device.
I preferably form the encasing, side walls of my device of two supporting elements 7 and Shaving outwardly extending bottom surfaces '11 and 12. The supporting elements 7 and 8 have parallel surfaces 9 and 10 that are spaced apart. The outwardly extending side walls being cut, or formed in a manner as shown'at 13 and 14 to form a cutting edge of the elements, the object of which is to cut the solid material that has 1 a tendency at I times to be deposited upon the transparent element 1 of the windshield. The sloplng side walls'll and 12 aid'in the carrying off of the solids after the same has been removed from the transparent surface from which the same is cut or removed by the cutting edges. Inwardly extending surfaces 15 and 16 are formed on the upper artof the parallel side walls 9 and 10 to bring the upper surfaces 17 and 18 in parallel alignment and also spaced apart. A cleaning element 19 is disposed between the surfaces 16 and 17 the same being made of rubber, or other suitable material that is adapted to the removal of moisture, or dust,
or liquids that become deposited upon the transparent member 1-. The elements 7 and 3 and the elements 19 are maintained in intimate working relation with each other by rivets, or other fastenings, 20 being used .to maintain the same together. When it is desired to reverse the device and use the rubber cleaning element to contact with the transparent .element "of the windshield, the spring 21", that is heldin contact with the side wall of the side member 8 by any sultable fastening means as a rivet 22, is pulled outwardly by engaging the end lip 23 of the spring, thus releasing the journal pin- 6 from being locked within'the bearings within the side walls and permits its removal therefrom and from the eye 5 of the rod 3. The device may then be reversed and the journal pin confine the invention to the one form of em-"- While the form of mechanism herein shown and described is admirably adapted to fulfill the objects primarily stated, it is to be understood that it is not intended to bodiment herein shown and described, as it is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, all coming within the scope of the claims which follow,
What i claim is 1. In a device of the class described, the combination of side walls spaced apart, said side walls having cutting edges disposed at their lower edges, a strip of rubber disposed between the side walls and projecting theremeet 12 combination of side Wall elements having outwardly extending lower surfaces, a cutt-in edge disposed on the lower edge of eac a journal pin seated within the side walls, an actuating arm having an eye dis- I posed in itsouter end hingedly secured to the journal pin, means for locking the jour nal pin relative to the side walls, a cleaning strip of rubber or like material disposed between the side walls and projecting therefrom and parallel to the cutting edges of the side walls at its outward edge, and means for reversing the device relative to the actuating lever arm to selectively bring the cutting edges or the rubber like matethe surface to be cleaned.
