Abstract
A motor vehicle windscreen wiper windscreen washer liquid distribution system including a windscreen washer liquid distribution network is disclosed. The windscreen washer liquid distribution network includes at least one hydraulic pipe including at least one windscreen washer liquid circulation passage, at least one hydraulic connector connected to the circulation passage, and at least one thermally conductive member in thermal contact with the at least one hydraulic connector and with a heating element of the distribution system.
Claims18
A motor vehicle windscreen wiper windscreen washer liquid distribution system, comprising:
- a windscreen washer liquid distribution network having:
- at least one hydraulic pipe including at least one windscreen washer liquid circulation passage;
- at least one hydraulic connector connected to the circulation passage;
- and
- at least one thermally conductive member in thermal contact with the at least one hydraulic connector and with a heating element of the distribution system,
- wherein said thermally conductive member is removable and includes a securing means that secures the thermally conductive member to the windscreen washer liquid distribution network,
- wherein the securing means includes at least one pair of elastic lugs forming a clamp cooperating with at least one hydraulic connector, and
- wherein at one end of each of the elastic lugs a cap is formed, and wherein the caps are substantially parallel to each other and cooperate through elastic nesting with two opposite faces of the hydraulic connector.
A motor vehicle windscreen wiper windscreen washer liquid distribution system comprising:
- a windscreen washer liquid distribution network having:
- at least one hydraulic pipe including at least one windscreen washer liquid circulation passage;
- at least one hydraulic connector connected to the circulation passage;
- and
- at least one thermally conductive member in thermal contact with the at least one hydraulic connector and with a heating element of the distribution system,
- wherein said hydraulic pipe includes two circulation passages, and
- wherein said thermally conductive member includes a thermally conductive tongue configured to be inserted between two hydraulic connectors.
A thermally conductive member for motor vehicle windscreen wiper windscreen washer liquid distribution systems, comprising:
- a windscreen washer liquid distribution network having:
- at least one hydraulic pipe including at least one windscreen washer liquid circulation passage;
- at least one hydraulic connector for connecting the circulation passage, wherein the thermally conductive member is in thermal contact with at least one hydraulic connector and with a heating element of the distribution system;
- and
- securing means for removably securing said thermally conductive member to the windscreen washer liquid distribution network,
- wherein the securing means include at least one pair of elastic lugs forming a clamp cooperating with at least one hydraulic connector, and
- wherein at one end of each of the elastic lugs a cap is formed, and wherein the caps are substantially parallel to each other and cooperate through elastic nesting with two opposite faces of the hydraulic connector.
