ABSTRACT:
A windshield wiper drive train adapted for long life. The drive train includes motor assembly that supports and drives a drive shaft. A circular drive plate is attached eccentrically to the drive shaft to rotate through an eccentric orbit about the drive shaft as the drive shaft rotates. A connecting member having a body portion defining a round opening that is slidingly fitted about said circular drive plate and an arm portion extending outwardly from the body portion undergoes reciprocating motion in response to rotation of said circular drive plate. A rocker assembly having a rockshaft and a rocker arm attached to the rockshaft is connected by pivot joint to the arm portion of the connecting member. In operation, the rocker assembly is rocked by the reciprocating motion of the arm portion when the drive shaft rotates. The rockshaft is adapted to engage a further attachment such as a windshield wiper.
