Abstract:
1. A windshield wiping device for a windshield ( 11 ) of a motor vehicle, the windshield ( 11 ) having a surface, the motor vehicle having a center and a hood positioned forwardly of the windshield ( 11 ), the device comprising a wiper arm ( 1 ) connected to a wiper bearing pin ( 3 ) having an axis, the wiper arm ( 1 ) being driven via the wiper bearing pin ( 3 ), a lifting angle (α) of the wiper arm ( 1 ) being defined between a first portion of the wiper arm ( 1 ) and a second portion of the wiper arm ( 1 ) and being in a plane perpendicular to the surface of the windshield ( 11 ), the wiper bearing pin ( 3 ) being positioned to one side of the center of the vehicle and intersecting an extension of the surface of the windshield ( 11 ), characterized in that the wiper bearing pin ( 3 ) has a geometric orientation of its axis relative to a line generally perpendicular to the extension of the surface of the windshield ( 11 ), the geometric orientation being toward the hood and toward the center of the vehicle such that, during a wiping movement of the wiper arm ( 1 ) across windshield ( 11 ), a change in substantially one direction of a value of the lifting angle (α) of the wiper arm ( 1 ) is carried out.
