Abstract

The wiper strip (6) of elastic material (12, 13), is accommodated in an open undercut channel in an oblong mounting (5), along which a water-absorbent cushion (22) extends, and is of mating cross-section (10, 1) for the channel. The strip is stiffened, so that either end is usable when extended from a channel end, and a locking device (15, 16) secured it in such positions. The device typically consists of a thrust bolt mounted in the main portion (7) and extending towards the strip, and engaging in one of several recesses in the latter. The bolt can be spring-loaded (20) in the engaged position, being lifted free by cams working together in the axial direction.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fensterwischer, der an einem mit einem Griff oder Verbindungsstück zum Anbringen eines Griffes oder Stieles verbundenen Basisteil eine langgestreckte Halterung für eine Wischleiste aus elastischem Material sowie für ein entlang der Halterung sich erstreckendes wasseraufnehmendes Kissen aufweist, wobei die Wischleiste in einem in der Halterung verlaufenden, offenen Kanal von hinterschnittenem Querschnitt, zu dem sie einen im wesentlichen komplementären Querschnittsabschnitt aufweist, sitzt.The invention relates to a window wiper which, on a base part connected to a handle or connecting piece for attaching a handle or handle, has an elongate holder for a wiper strip made of elastic material and for a water-absorbing cushion which extends along the holder, the wiper strip in a Bracket extending, open channel of undercut cross-section, to which it has a substantially complementary cross-sectional section sits.

Solche Fensterwischer sind in weitem Umfang durch Benutzung bekannt. Sie erlauben es, große Flächen schnell und wirksam zu säubern. Voraussetzung ist jedoch eine gute Zugänglichkeit, die in Randbereichen oft nicht mehr besteht.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Fensterwischer der eingangs genannten Art auch unter beengteren Verhältnissen in Randbereichen einsatzfähig zu machen.
Such window wipers are widely known for use. They allow large areas to be cleaned quickly and effectively. However, a prerequisite is good accessibility, which often no longer exists in peripheral areas.
The invention has for its object to make window wipers of the type mentioned operational even under cramped conditions in peripheral areas.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird dieser Zweck erfüllt, indem die Wischleiste derart versteift ist, daß sie mit einem aus dem einen oder dem anderen Kanalende ausgeschobenen Abschnitt funktionsfähig ist, und eine die Wischleiste in solchen Stellungen fixierende Arretierung eingerichtet ist.According to the invention, this purpose is achieved in that the wiper strip is stiffened in such a way that it can function with a section pushed out from one or the other end of the channel, and a locking device is provided that fixes the wiper strip in such positions.

Hier wird bei Bedarf die Wischleiste mehr oder weniger weit ausgeschoben, beispielsweise um hinter einen Heizkörper zu gelangen, an der Windschutzscheibe des Kraftwagens in den sich unten keilförmig verengenden Zwischenraum über dem Armaturenblock usw..Here the wiper strip is pushed out more or less, if necessary, for example to get behind a radiator, on the windshield of the motor vehicle into the space that narrows in a wedge shape above the dashboard, etc.

Die Arretierung weist zweckmäßigerweise einen in dem Basisteil angeordneten, auf die Wischleiste gerichteten Druckbolzen auf, der entweder die Wischleiste nur durch Reibschluß hält oder, bevorzugt, durch Eingriff in eine Vertiefung, wofür dann die Wischleiste mit einer Reihe von Vertiefungen versehen ist.The locking device expediently has a pressure bolt arranged in the base part and directed towards the wiper strip, which either holds the wiper strip only by friction or, preferably, engages in a recess, for which purpose the wiper strip is then provided with a series of recesses.

Die Versteifung der Wischleiste besteht vorzugsweise in einer metallischen Einfassung oder Einlageleiste.The stiffening of the wiper strip preferably consists of a metallic edging or insert strip.

Weitere Maßnahmen, die zur vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dienen können, sind in der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles angegeben.Further measures that can be used for the advantageous embodiment of the invention are specified in the following description of an exemplary embodiment.

Die Zeichnungen geben das Ausführungsbeispiel wieder.

Fig. 1
zeigt eine Draufsicht auf einen Fensterwischer, teilweise abgeschnitten,
Fig. 2
zeigt den Fensterwischer rechts in Seitenansicht gemäß Fig. 1 von unten und links in einem Querschnitt durch die Mitte und
Fig. 3

The drawings show the exemplary embodiment.
Fig. 1
shows a top view of a window wiper, partially cut away,
Fig. 2
shows the window wiper on the right in a side view according to FIG. 1 from below and on the left in a cross section through the center and
Fig. 3
shows the cross section mentioned on a larger scale.

Mit einer auch unmittelbar als Griff benutzbaren Aufnahmehülse 1 für einen Stiel ist über ein in verschiedenen Winkelstellungen arretierbares Gelenk 2 und einen Arm 3 eine Aufnahme 4 verbunden, an der in einer hier nicht näher zu betrachtenden Weise ein eine Halterung 5 für eine Wischleiste 6 tragendes Basisteil 7 angebracht ist.With a receptacle sleeve 1 for a handle, which can also be used directly as a handle, a receptacle 4 is connected via a joint 2 and an arm 3 that can be locked in different angular positions, on which a holder 5 for a wiper strip 6 carries a base part in a manner not to be considered here 7 is attached.

Die Wischleiste 6 ist in einem in der Halterung 5 ausgebildeten Kanal 8 gehalten, der sich von einem runden Querschnitt aus über einen Schacht nach außen öffnet.The wiper strip 6 is held in a channel 8 formed in the holder 5, which opens outwards from a round cross section via a shaft.

Die mit einer metallischen Einfassung 9 versehene Wischleiste 6 füllt den Kanalquerschnitt mit einem runden Wulst 10 und in dem Schacht mit einem Teil des von dem Wulst 10 ausgehenden und aus dem Kanal 8 herausragenden Wischerblattes 11.The wiper strip 6 provided with a metallic border 9 fills the channel cross section with a round bead 10 and in the shaft with a part of the wiper blade 11 starting from the bead 10 and protruding from the channel 8.

Die metallische Einfassung 9 der, sonst aus Gummi 12 bestehenden, Wischleiste 6 endet an dem Wischerblatt 11 unten in kurzem Abstand von dem Kanal 8 und ist oben als Stütze weiter nach vorne gezogen. Ein darüber hinausragender Endabschnitt 13 besteht nur aus dem Gummi.
Bei 13 ist, nur darstellungshalber, eine Einlageleiste gezeichnet. Sie wäre eine Alternative zu der Einfassung 9. Der Querschnitt der Einfassung 9 bestünde in diesem Falle gleichfalls aus dem Gummi 12.
The metallic border 9 of the wiper strip 6, which is otherwise made of rubber 12, ends on the wiper blade 11 at the bottom at a short distance from the channel 8 and is pulled further upwards as a support. A protruding end section 13 consists only of the rubber.
At 13, an insert bar is drawn for illustration purposes only. It would be an alternative to the border 9. The cross section of the border 9 would also consist of the rubber 12 in this case.

Die Einfassung 9 ist mit einer Reihe von Ausnehmungen 15 versehen. In der Wischleiste 6 im ganzen stellen die Ausnehmungen 15 Vertiefungen dar.The border 9 is provided with a series of recesses 15. In the wiper strip 6 as a whole, the recesses represent 15 depressions.

Die Ausnehmungen 15 dienen der Arretierung der Wischleiste 6 mittels eines in dem Basisteil 7 angeordneten Druckbolzens 16. Der Druckbolzen 16 sitzt in einer in unterschiedliche Abschnitte gegliederten Bohrung 17, aus der er oben mit einem Drehgriff 18 und unten mit einem verbreiterten Druckstück 19 herausragt. Zwischen dem Druckstück 19 und einem Absatz in der Bohrung 17 ist eine Druckfeder 20 vorgespannt. Der Drehgriff 18 bildet an einem in die Bohrung 17 ragenden Stutzen zusammen mit einem hier angeordneten Gegenstück eine Kurvenführung 21, derart, daß durch Verdrehen des Drehgriffs 18 der Druckbolzen 16 unter weiterer Anspannung der Druckfeder 20 angehoben und aus der Ausnehmung 15 herausgezogen werden kann.The recesses 15 serve to lock the wiper strip 6 by means of a pressure bolt 16 arranged in the base part 7. The pressure bolt 16 is seated in a bore 17 divided into different sections, from which it protrudes at the top with a turning handle 18 and at the bottom with a widened pressure piece 19. A compression spring 20 is biased between the pressure piece 19 and a shoulder in the bore 17. The rotary handle 18 forms a cam guide 21 on a connecting piece projecting into the bore 17 together with a counterpart arranged here, in such a way that the rotary bolt 18 can be raised and the compression spring 20 raised and pulled out of the recess 15 by turning the rotary handle 18.

Die Wischleiste 6 läßt sich dann in Längsrichtung des Kanals 8 verschieben und durch erneute Verdrehung des Drehgriffs 18 und Eingriff des Druckstückes 19 in eine andere Ausnehmung 15 wieder fixieren.
So kann die Wischleiste 6 faßt bis zur Hälfte ihrer Länge aus der Halterung 5 herausragen und, da sie wesentlich schmaler als der übrige, außerdem noch mit einem wasseraufnehmenden Kissen 22 versehene, Fensterwischer ist, in schmale Zwischenräume reichen.
Ein an den beiden Enden der, sonst z.B. aus Aluminiumprofil bestehenden, Halterung 5 jeweils angeordneter, an seinen Ecken und Kanten gerundeter Stoßdämpfer 23 aus einem weicheren Kunststoff erlaubt dabei, auch an den Gegenständen anzustoßen, hinter die die ausgeschobene Wischleiste 6 kommen soll.
The wiper strip 6 can then be moved in the longitudinal direction of the channel 8 and fixed again by rotating the rotary handle 18 and engaging the pressure piece 19 in another recess 15.
Thus, the wiper strip 6 can protrude up to half its length from the holder 5 and, since it is much narrower than the rest, also provided with a water-absorbing cushion 22, window wipers, extend into narrow spaces.
A shock absorber 23 made of a softer plastic at the two ends of the bracket 5, which is otherwise made, for example, of aluminum profile and which is rounded at its corners and edges, also makes it possible to bump into the objects behind which the extended wiper strip 6 is to come.
