Estimating the term…
A spraying device for headlamp-cleaning systems for motor vehicles having an essentially cylindrical nozzle carrier which comprises two sections, with the vehicle-external nozzle carrier section being formed from a number of annular segments connected to one another in a hinge-like manner. In a rest position, the nozzle carrier is retracted in the vehicle body. When moved into the operating setting outside the vehicle, the front nozzle carrier section comprising the annular segments curves in an arc shape, such that a cleaning nozzle fitted to the head end of the nozzle carrier comes to be situated in an area just in front of the headlamp diffusing screen.
A spraying device for headlamp-cleaning systems for a motor vehicle, comprising a nozzle carrier, an actuating device for moving the nozzle carrier in a telescopic manner out of a retracted rest position in a cylindrical receiving and guide tube retracted in a vehicle body into an operating setting in an area in front of a diffusing screen of a vehicle headlamp, a flexible line operatively connecting the nozzle carrier to a washwater reservoir, a head end of the nozzle carrier being configured, in a direction of the vehicle exterior, as a cover plate which, in the retracted rest position, produces a rectilinear continuation of a vehicle contour and comprises nozzle holder attached to the head end of the nozzle carrier and at least one cleaning nozzle which is directed, in the operating setting, towards the diffusing screen, and means for causing a section of the nozzle carrier which, in the operating setting, protrudes out of the vehicle body to become an arc shape such that the nozzle holder is situated having the at least one cleaning nozzle adjacent a front of the diffusing screen.
