Abstract
A windshield-wiper system for a motor vehicle with a wiper-blade carrier, a wiper blade held on the wiper-blade carrier, which wiper blade has an elastically flexible wiper element, includes a heating mechanism for the wiper blade. The wiper-blade carrier has at least one wall section which conducts heat in sections, and which is operatively connected heat-conductingly or heat-transmittingly to the wiper element and/or the wiper blade. At least one cooling-medium line of a cooling-medium cycle of a drive motor of the motor vehicle, which cooling-medium line consists of a heat-conducting material, is laid along the wall section.

A windshield-wiper system for a motor vehicle with a wiper-blade carrier, comprising a wiper blade held on the wiper-blade carrier, which wiper blade has an elastically flexible wiper element, and comprising a heating mechanism for the wiper blade, wherein the wiper-blade carrier has two wall sections which conduct heat, and which flank the wiper element or the wiper blade, and wherein at least one fluid heating-medium line formed of a heat-conducting material is embedded in heat-conductive contact within a bead-like indentation in one of said wall sections and protruding from an inner surface of said one of said wall sections.
A windshield-wiper system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a wiper-blade carrier having a pair of opposing wall sections formed of a heat-conducting material, each wall section having an inner surface and an outer surface, with a longitudinal indentation formed into the inner surface of each wall section;
- and
- a wiper blade held within said wiper-blade carrier by said opposing wall sections, said wiper blade having an elastically flexible wiper element,
- said wiper-blade carrier further comprising a heating mechanism for said wiper blade, said heating mechanism including a heating-medium line formed of a heat-conducting material and fluidly connected to a source of heating medium, said heating-medium line being embedded in the longitudinal indentation in each wall section and protruding from the inner surface of each wall section.
