TECHNICAL FIELD
The disclosure relates to the wiping apparatus used in vehicles for spraying liquid on the windshield glass surface.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Windshield washing mechanism is generally used in vehicles to spray water or any other cleaning liquid on the windshield glass to make it free from water, dirt and dust during wiping operation. Conventional windshield washer system comprises of washer pump, connecting pipe & wiper arm mounted washer nozzle.
One way of wiping mechanism for windshield is by providing a connecting piece with a nozzle to a wiper rod of the windshield. For an example, in patent US6442788 (referred as pat’788) discloses a wiper arm, which is constructed from a fastening element and a hinge part is pivotably connected to it via a swivel joint, with a wiper rod on which a wiper blade is pivotably connected. The hinge part has a U-shaped profile open toward a wiping field and carries at least one spray nozzle. The spray nozzle is placed in a lower part of a nozzle body which is inserted into the U-shaped profile and with its lower part protrudes toward the wiping field. However, in the pat’788, there was non uniform distribution of washer fluid on the windshield glass.
Another way of wiping mechanism for windshield is by providing a water nozzle installed on vehicle bonnet. However, the nozzle in needs to be adjusted all the time so that the washer fluid jet is oriented towards on the windshield.
Thus, there exists a need to develop a windshield wiper apparatus to uniformly distribute the washer fluid on the windshield glass. Further, frequent adjustments of the nozzle should be reduced.

The foregoing description is a specific embodiment of the present invention. It should be appreciated that this embodiment is described for purpose of illustration only, and that numerous alterations and modifications may be practiced by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is intended that all such modifications and alterations be included insofar as they come within the scope of the invention as claimed or the equivalents thereof.
Equivalents
With respect to the use of substantially any plural and/or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and/or from the singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and/or application. The various singular/plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity.
It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be

interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
