ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to arrangements for deploying and folding a blade carrier of a windshield wiper mechanism of the retractable type, in particular for vehicles. A windshield wiper installation includes a deployable and foldable blade carrier which is driven in rotation during wiping by means of a drive spindle actuated by a wiper motor. A deployment mechanism is provided to move the blade carrier from a folded position to a deployed position and vice versa.
It is the wiper motor itself which serves to actuate the deployment and folding of the blade carrier. To this end, the system includes a second spindle which is coaxial with the drive spindle that drives the wiper in its actual wiping movement. A clutch is also provided for coupling the two spindles together for the wiping operation, and for uncoupling them from each other for deployment and folding of the blade carrier.
