Definitions

  • the invention relates to a windshield wiper device, in particular for motor vehicles.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a windshield wiper device which has a particularly long service life.
  • the essence of the invention is to provide a wiper device to provide device with a bearing body and a wiper shaft, the bearing body and the wiper shaft spaced apart in the region of the bearing body end lying in the assembled state via a separating gap to prevent water from entering the bearing body are.
  • the separation gap between the bearing body and the wiper shaft forms a barrier for splash water, which prevents splash water that has penetrated into the bearing body from below from creeping upwards into the bearing body due to capillary action and adhesive forces. There is little or no capillary action in the separating gap, since the capillary effect decreases with increasing gap width. Complex sealing measures for sealing the bearing body against the ingress of splash water from below can thus be dispensed with.
  • the advantageous dimensions of the separating gap which vary depending on the bearing and shaft dimensions, prevent spray water from creeping upward in the bearing body, the bearing body taking up very little space and / or Wiper shaft has sufficient strength with a small shaft diameter.
  • Fig. 1 is a partial view of a wiper device according to the invention with a plastic bearing body according to a first embodiment
  • Fig. 2 is a partial view of an inventive wiper device with a metallic bearing body according to another embodiment.
  • a windshield wiper device comprises a plastic bearing body 2 attached to a body part 1 of a motor vehicle, not shown, in which a driven wiper shaft 4, which is connected to a wiper arm 3 in a rotationally fixed manner, is rotatably mounted.
  • the wiper arm 3 is only partially shown in Figure 1.

  • the first bearing body end 6 lies in the assembled state of the windshield wiper device and faces the wiper arm 3, while the second bearing body end 7 lies in the assembled state of the windshield wiper device.
  • an externally encircling support projection 8 is formed on the bearing body 2, which has a support surface 9 facing the first bearing body end 6.
  • a fastening section 10 of the bearing body 2 extends between the first bearing body end 6 and the support surface 9.
  • the bearing body 2 passes through the body part 1, which on the support surface 9 of the support Approach 8 rests and surrounds the fastening section 10 of the bearing body 2.

  • the wiper shaft 4 is set into a pivoting movement via the actuating lever 21, the rotary joint 20 and the crank plate 19, which in turn causes the wiper arm 3 to pivot.
  • An upward creep of spray water in the bearing body 2 is prevented by the downwardly open ring recess 14, since the separating gap formed by the ring recess 14 has a sufficient gap width W to prevent the capillary action and the adhesive forces in the Area to reduce the ring recess 14 significantly.
