Windshield wiper blade assembly with sponge and tension mechanism

A windshield wiper blade assembly with sponge and tension mechanism for wiping and cleaning a windshield of a vehicle having a oscillating wiper arm having at least one carrier arm and a plurality of slotted carrier clips for holding the windshield wiperblade assembly with sponge and tension mechanism against the windshield, said windshield wiper blade assembly with sponge and tension mechanism comprising:

• a wiper blade support assembly having a support base portion, a first wiper blade support arm, a second wiper blade support arm, a plurality of carrier clip mounting grooves, and a plurality of wiper fluid spray holes, said carrier clip mounting grooves receiving the slotted carrier clips said first wiper blade support arm and said second wiper blade support arm being spaced apart and being downwardly depending from said support base portion, said first wiper blade support arm having a first wiper blade accepting groove, and said second wiper blade support arm having a second wiper blade accepting groove;
• a first wiper blade having a first wiper blade flange and a first wiper blade tip, said first wiper blade flange being fixedly disposed in said first wiper blade accepting groove, and said first wiper blade tip being downwardly depending from said first wiper blade support arm;
• a second wiper blade having a second wiper blade flange and a second wiper blade tip, said second wiper blade flange being fixedly disposed in said second wiper blade accepting groove, and said second wiper blade tip being downwardly depending from said second wiper blade support arm, said first wiper blade being spaced apart from said second wiper blade;
• a scrubbing sponge having a scrubbing surface and a plurality of wiper fluid channels, said scrubbing spongy being interposed between said a first wiper blade and said second wiper blade;
• a plurality of wiper fluid hoses being in fluid communication with said wiper fluid channels and said wiper fluid spray holes whereby wiper fluid may be dispensed to said scrubbing sponge and said windshield from said wiper fluid hoses;
• and
• a sponge tension mechanism having a threaded tension adjusting knob, an upper spring housing, a lower spring housing, a tension spring, and a scrubbing sponge pressure plate, said upper spring housing being mounted on said wiper blade support assembly, said lower spring housing being slidably mounted on said upper spring housing, said tension spring being disposed within said upper spring housing and said lower spring housing, said scrubbing sponge pressure plate being coupled to said lower spring housing, said threaded tension adjusting knob being threadably mounted to said upper spring housing whereby said tension spring is compressed by the rotation of said adjustment knob, said tension spring thereby applying pressure to said scrubbing sponge pressure plate, said scrubbing sponge pressure plate being removably attached to said scrubbing sponge, said sponge tension mechanism thereby applying pressure to said scrubbing sponge from said scrubbing sponge pressure plate whereby said scrubbing sponge is firmly positioned against said windshield to remove debris from said windshield.
