  • the present invention relates to a windscreen wiper device suitable for cleaning and scratching the surface of a front and / or rear windshield of a vehicle in order to remove solid residues adhering to a surface of the windscreen wiper and, furthermore, , sweep the water deposited on said surface of the windshield.
  • Said wiper device comprises a motor connected to one end of an arm that at the other end is connected to a support to which a material suitable for sweeping the water deposited on a surface of the windshield is fixed, namely a wiper blade suitable for sweep the water deposited on the surface of the windshield.
  • the windscreen wiper devices include one or two rubber strips with which the function of sweeping water and cleaning solid residues adhering to it is performed. This second function is not performed correctly, that is, they are not capable of completely removing solid residues deposited on the surface of the windshield.
  • trying to remove such solid debris requires the use of a large amount of water and normally requires the driver's attention, therefore the driver distracts his attention from the road, as a result his safety may be adversely affected.
  • the windshield wipers are ineffective in removing solid residues adhering to the surface of the windshield from, for example, the impact of insects, mud or the like, which are not swept away by the action of the wiper blade when the wiper device is working.
  • a problem with such a wiper device is that it is unable to fully dislodge solid particles adhering to a surface of the wiper.
  • the driver's field of vision of the vehicle can be reduced and therefore the safety of the driver can also be reduced, as well as the safety of other road or road users.
  • the brush holder of the present invention is adapted to house a cleaning brush suitable for cleaning the water deposited on a surface of a windshield of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one channel with a ribbed shape in cross section and having each one of its channel walls extended and bent backwards in a re-incoming way so that they leave a suitable space so that a support piece can be embedded, so that one of its ends can be housed in the channel and its other

  • the support 51 and the scraper 32 can be made in a single piece and, therefore, said piece has a cleaning edge.
  • a first pneumatic control means 41 made of a flexible material defining a closed tube, air-tight, hollow, flexible-walled chamber as shown in Figure 4, having an expanded state and a been contracted and being movable between the two states by changing the gas or air pressure within it, so that scraper 32 is movable between the scraper contact and a position of rest or normal, that is, not scratching and, therefore, not in contact with the surface of the windshield, when the first chamber 41 moves between its two expanded and contracted states, respectively.
  • a control and command means (not shown) can be actuated by an occupant of the vehicle, to controllably and independently alter the pressure within the first chamber 41.
