Description

2 of 8 Field of the invention An elongated tension arm is provided on a wiper of a windshield wiper assembly. The tension arm bisses a wiper arm of the wiper about a wiper head of the wiper. The tension arm has a tension arm head with a tension arm leg extending longitudinally there from. The tension arm head overlies the wiper arm head and the tension arm leg overlies the wiper arm. The tension arm head is coupled to the wiper arm head via a pair of arm members extending laterally there from. The arm members receive an anchoring screw there through which underlies the wiper arm head. The tension arm leg has a threaded hole there trough receiving a wing screw which engages the wiper arm. Rotation of the wing screw serve to increase or decrease resilient pressure on the wiper arm. There for no pressure of the windshield wiper blade his lost on the windshield.
3 of 8 Background of the invention The arm of the windshield wiper of a motor car contains some mechanic integrated into the arm of for supports of a windshield wiper to maintain certain pressure on the Made and keeps it against the glass. Usually this integrated mechanic which is stretched in between a base fixed to a flute tree of training and swivelling arm of windshield wiper, do not kick away enough space to release a moment of rather long arm to create so a self important pressure on the blade, by contribution in the force exercised by integrated mechanic. The integrated mechanic must be extremely powerful by contribution in the force of arm and the pivot to create a sufficient mattering moment to generate a good pressure on the Made so that in his turn, sweeps it of the glass producing an action of wiping satisfying on the glass. What usually arrives at high speed of the vehicle or when the vehicle faces strong winds, the effect of uprising led by the wind on the arm of support of the Made of the windshield wiper counter balance the force exercised by the integrated mechanic and so reduce the action of wiping of the Made. It does not exist in away or mean known allowing to keep a steady ands constant pressure according to the need of the moment (speed of the motor car, the strength of the wind). The Tension Arm with variable pressure on the part of the arm of the windshield wiper cornes to correct the situation by applying a constant pressure against the arm of the windshield wiper.
