Abstract
A wiper system for flat or nearly flat surfaces utilizing a track system whereby a substantially vertical blade is disposed across a primarily planar surface to remove obstructing matter in a non stop horizontal reciprocation that may be set to do so in a plurality of differentiating track configurations. Additionally the present invention may be utilized and best suited for windshields, residential windows, metal paneling or headlights.
Claims15
A cleaning system for removing debris from and cleaning a substantially planar surface, the cleaning system comprising:
- a) a cleaning arm with opposed ends;
- b) a hinged subassembly disposed on each end of said cleaning arm;
- c) a track to engage and control the movement of said hinged subassemblies during operation, said track having a perimeter;
- d) a blade cleaner for cleaning said cleaning arm;
- e) said track having a track extension, said track extension extending outward of said perimeter of said track, transitioning inward of said perimeter of said track, and extending through said blade cleaner;
- f) wherein said cleaning arm moves across the substantially planar surface in a substantially orthogonal relationship to a longitudinal axis of the substantially planar surface for a substantial but not an entire period of operation;
- and
- g) wherein said track extension allows said cleaning arm to transfer from said substantially orthogonal relationship to a substantially horizontal relationship prior to entering said blade cleaner.
A cleaning system for removing debris from and cleaning a substantially planar surface, the cleaning system comprising:
- a) a cleaning arm with opposed ends;
- b) a hinged subassembly disposed on each end of said cleaning arm;
- c) a track to engage and control the movement of said hinged subassemblies during operation, said track having a perimeter;
- d) a blade cleaner for cleaning said cleaning arm;
- e) said track having a track extension, said track extension extending outward of said perimeter of said track, transitioning inward of said perimeter of said track, and extending through said blade cleaner;
- f) wherein said blade cleaner has a length and a width, said cleaning arm has a length and a width, said length of said blade cleaner being shorter than the length of the cleaning arm;
- and
- g) wherein said track extension allows said cleaning arm to move through said blade cleaner where the length of the cleaning arm is substantially parallel to the length of the blade cleaner.
