A heater element heats fluid that passes from the inlet port to the outlet port through the reservoir. A heat exchanger in thermal contact with the heater element for conveying heat to the fluid within the reservoir has a strut that divides fluid entering the housing through the inlet port into two flow paths and elongated fins that extend outwardly from the strut at transverse angles that bound fluid flow channels for fluid moving through the reservoir. A control circuit energizes the heater element with a voltage to heat the heating element and the fluid passing from the inlet port to the outlet port through the reservoir. | 02-18-2016 |
20160129886 | Heated Windshield Wiper - A heated windshield wiper for helping to remove ice and snow from a vehicle windshield. The heated windshield wiper includes an elongated support for connection to a windshield wiper arm. The elongated support includes one or more fasteners for receiving a wiper blade thereon. The wiper blade preferably has an X-shaped cross section and further includes a heating element thereon. The heating element preferably includes a tubular member that contains a fluid that can be electrically heated so as to increase the temperature thereof and provide heat to the wiper blade. A power source is contained in a separate housing, wherein the power source is electrically connected to the heating element of the wiper blade. | 05-12-2016 |

20080256738 | Frameless, Heated Wiper Assembly And System Utilizing Same - A heated wiper system including at least one frameless, heated wiper assembly is provided. Each wiper assembly includes a flexible squeegee blade and a pair of spaced flexible backing members. The assembly includes a pair of flexible heaters disposed between the blade and their respective backing member to convert electrical energy from a source of electrical energy (i.e., a battery) into heat. Each heater includes a heating element sufficiently dimensioned to sinuously travel back and forth between the sides of the assembly substantially the entire length of its respective backing member. Wiring connects the battery to the heaters by extending through a sealed center support apparatus which connects the blade, the heaters and elongated resilient spines together between the backing members. | 10-23-2008 |
