Adaptable interim repair jacket to supplant a failed windshield wiper structure of a motor vehicle

摘要

An adaptable short term repair jacket 2 for temporary continued operation of a damaged or failed windshield wiper frame assembly and/or wiper blade of a powered windshield wiper system of a motor vehicle. Disclosed here an elongated generally tubular plastic casing 4 including an upper centrally open guide gap 12. Each linear side includes a flexible convex upper sidewall 6. Each sidewall 6 transitions into a linear concave lower sidewall 8 respectively. Sidewalls 8,8 converge respectively to the linear underside of jacket 2 forming a linear fold crease 10. An elongated rubber core 32 is adjoined to the linear outer side of crease 10. Jacket 2 is placed in alignment, end to end with an existing damaged or failed wiper structure and slid over the failed wiper to provide provisional wiper operation allowing for continued travel of a vehicle during rain/precipitation, in addition the jacket will prevent scratching and chipping damage to a windshield by the containment of flailing and scraping metal or plastic parts of a damaged in-use wiper, driver and/or passenger side.
