Abstract
A window washing assembly includes a first roller bar and a second roller bar affixed within a window frame. The assembly includes a first pulley coupled to the first roller bar and the second roller bar. The assembly includes a second pulley parallel to the first pulley and coupled to the first roller bar and the second roller bar. The assembly includes a wiper arm coupled to the first pulley and the second pulley, wherein the wiper arm includes at least one spray nozzle, a wiper blade, and at least one magnet. The assembly includes a motor coupled to the first or second roller bar. The assembly includes a first magnetic stop and a second magnetic stop. The assembly includes a cleaning fluid reservoir fluidly coupled to the one or more spray nozzles of the wiper arm.
Claims17
A window washing assembly comprising:
- a first screw drive disposed within a first side of a frame, the frame comprising a window frame surrounding a window pane;
- a second screw drive disposed within a second side of the frame, the second side disposed opposite the first side;
- a wiper arm extending from a first end to a second end and having a length therebetween, the first end operatively engaged with the first screw drive and the second end operatively engaged with the second screw drive, the wiper arm comprising:
- a wiper blade,
- one or more spray nozzles disposed on and along the length of the wiper arm, and
- one or more magnets disposed on the wiper arm;
- a motor operatively coupled to at least one of the first screw drive or the second screw, the motor configured, upon activation, to rotate the first screw drive and second screw drive and thereby cause translational motion of the wiper arm;
- a cleaning fluid reservoir;
- a supply line fluidly coupling the cleaning fluid reservoir to the one or more spray nozzles of the wiper arm, the supply line disposed along the first side of the frame and routed toward the wiper arm to deliver a cleaning fluid to the one or more spray nozzles;
- a first magnetic stop disposed proximate a third side of the frame;
- a second magnetic stop disposed proximate a fourth side of the frame, the fourth side disposed opposite the third side, and the third side and the fourth side extending between the first side and the second side of the frame;
- wherein a distance between the first magnetic stop and the second magnetic stop defines a translation distance of the wiper arm;
- and
- wherein contact between at least one magnet of the wiper arm and one of the magnetic stops causes the motor to stop or reverse translation of the wiper arm.
