ARRANGEMENT FOR A WIPING MECHANISM GUIDING A DRIVE SHAFT ENABLING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BE RETRACTED IN CASE OF IMPACT

摘要

The invention concerns an arrangement for mounting and pivotally guiding about a generally vertical axis (A) a drive shaft (12) of a wiping mechanism comprising a guide plate (10) including a cylindrical shank (20) wherein said shaft (12) is pivotally guided. The invention is characterized in that the shaft (12) comprises a bulge (24) received inside a housing (26) matching the shank (20) and capable of exiting the housing (26) by elastic deformation of the bulge (24) and/or of the housing, through an axial displacement downward of the shaft (12) relative to the shank (20), when the wiping mechanism is subjected to a violent impact.
