Windshield wiper mechanism

摘要

A windshield wiper mechanism includes a motor driven gear and a drive plate positioned relative thereto but selectively rotatable to enable easy change of the effective wiper parts position. A park switch to automatically stops the arm and blade at a selected position on the windshield is located on the drive gear (driving rotatable member). Removal, rotation and reengagement of the drive plate relative to the motor driven gear then easily changes the wiper park position. The drive plate is provided with at least one opening located at a radial distance from the center rotating axis of the drive plate for receiving a pin of a connecting link that will provide oscillating motion to a shaft upon which a windshield wiper arm and blade is secured.
