Invention of wiper blade

Today, with the development of the automotive industry, wiper technology has become very mature, but this essential device when driving in the rain is not inherent. From the birth of the first modern car in 1885 to the beginning of the twentieth century, there was no such device as a wiper on the car. The driver had to open the window when driving in the rain. Because he could not see the road conditions, it often happened because of this. ACCIDENT.

Regarding the origin of wipers, there are currently two theories. One is: In 1903, a woman named Mary Anderson invented the earliest manual wipers. This wiper requires the driver to drive while turning the wiper to wipe. Glass. The first electric-powered wipers were invented by another woman named Charlotte Bridgeford, but have never been mass-produced. It was not until 1923 that the modern wiper was officially installed on the car, and its final invention right was obtained by Bosch, and 1927 was the official invention time.

Another way of saying it is: J. R. Oishei, the chairman of TRICO Corporation, hit and injured a teenager riding a bicycle on a rainy night in Buffalo, New York. In order to prevent such accidents, he invented a Manual wipers with grooved rubber strips on metal rods, but in terms of manual cars at the time, it was quite dangerous to manually crank the wipers while driving, so he developed a pump-type wiper that drives with the speed of the car's engine. The problem is that the wipers wiggle with the speed of the car, and also stop when the traffic jams or stops. Later, in 1917, he successfully combined the wiper linkage and the motor to successfully manufacture a modern wiper blades with a motor-driven wiper linkage. Be the ancestor of modern wiper blades.
