The Trico Products Corporation is still increasing its holdings in this field, as we saw in U. The assembly protected by this patent achieves a lower cost of manufacture while also addressing undesirable noise and vibration characteristics experienced with wiper use. Screeching noises created when a wiper blade draws against a window are also addressed by the technology disclosed by U.
Assigned to the Faidek Corporation of Changhua Hsien, Taiwan, the patent protects a windshield wiper assembly that achieves the desired vibration reductions through the application of a shock-absorbing function created by elastic members within the assembly. We also found a couple of Bosch patents which were recently issued to protect windshield cleaning technologies, including U.
The windshield wiper drive of this invention limits the maximum angular range in which the wiper blade can move to prevent over-pivoting of the blade arm due to external forces, which can pose a safety risk.

Accept and Close. Anderson began to sketch her wiper device right there on the streetcar. When the driver pulled the lever, she dragged the spring-loaded arm across the window and back again, clearing away raindrops, snowflakes or other debris.
This feature was presumably designed to appeal to people who lived in places where it did not rain in the summertime. Her patent expired before she could entice anyone to use her idea. Like Anderson, Bridgewood never made any money from her invention. But if you see something that doesn't look right, click here to contact us!

He got his idea of motorized windscreen wipers patented back then, but never got the credit he deserved. Instead, a woman named Mary Anderson is in the books for the person who invented the first operational wiper in So, sticking to the written facts, Mary was travelling on a stormy night in her carriage.
While travelling she had to stop the carriage to wipe the windshield after regular intervals. This led her to think of a machine that wipes the window from the inside. This is when a mechanical wiper came into consideration. For you to know, the wipers of those times where hand-operated rather than motorized. A lever on the inside controlled the wipers on the windshield. Initially, this is very easy to manufacture but was not at all convenient and safe.
In this type of wiper, a lever is mechanically connected to the wiper via a rod and the handle is operated by hand The driver had to take one hand off the steering wheel limiting the control on the vehicle.
