Abstract
Abstract A wiper linkage of the cross arm type is provided with a driving rod, an oscillation arm, two cross arms interlinking the driving rod and the oscillation arm, and restrictive alignment-free couplings connecting the cross arms between the driving rod and oscillation arm. In this linkage, it is possible to connect the coupling parts easily and to absorb dimensional errors in the coupling parts, and to also make the coupling waterproof by a sealing member. Furthermore, a smooth and noiseless action of the linkage can be obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A wiper linkage of the cross arm type comprising: a driving rod member connected with a motor arm member at one end thereof and movable on a substantially straight line; an oscillation arm member provided with a pivot shaft adapted to have a wiper connected thereto; two cross arm members interlinking two points on said oscillation arm member and two points on said driving rod member in crossed relation to each other, a first cross arm member of said two cross arm members interlinking one end of said oscillation arm member and another end of said driving rod member and a second cross arm member of said two cross arm members interlinking another end of said oscillation arm member and a point spaced a substantial distance from said another end of said driving rod member; and coupling means interconnecting said members comprising a ball pin connected to one of said members and provided with a cylindrical contacting projection and an elastic socket joint connected to another of said members and provided with a contacting part receiving said contacting projection therein for engagement with an inner periphery thereof whereby said members are connected in an alignment free manner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
197 words
A wiper linkage of the cross arm type comprising: a driving rod member connected with a motor arm member at one end thereof and movable on a substantially straight line; an oscillation arm member provided with a pivot shaft adapted to have a wiper connected thereto; two cross arm members interlinking two points on said oscillation arm member and two points on said driving rod member in crossed relation to each other, a first cross arm member of said two cross arm members interlinking one end of said oscillation arm member and another end of said driving rod member and a second cross arm member of said two cross arm members interlinking another end of said oscillation arm member and a point spaced a substantial distance from said another end of said driving rod member; and coupling means interconnecting said members comprising a ball pin connected to one of said members and provided with a cylindrical contacting projection and an elastic socket joint connected to another of said members and provided with a contacting part receiving said contacting projection therein for engagement with an inner periphery thereof whereby said members are connected in an alignment free manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A wiper linkage of the cross arm type as set forth in claim 1, wherein said coupling means further includes a sealing member surrounding a portion of said ball pin between said members to exclude water and the like.
