Abstract:
The present invention is a wiper arm extension subassembly which allows the use of the military vehicle's original equipment wiper motor and controls; and presumes that one or more anti-ballistic sheets, panes or panels having a thickness dimension not less than 0.5 inches in size are to be or have been installed in the vehicle. In its minimalist form, the present invention comprises only three component parts: (i) an extended flange; (ii) an extended crank arm; and (iii) an optionally present support bracket.In the preferred embodiments, the wiper arm extension subassembly will replace the original equipment flange of the vehicle. This change is achieved by mounting the combined extended flange and extended crank arm to the military vehicle's pre-existing original equipment wiper motor and controls motor bracket; and by extending the length of the flange and crank arm for a greater (longer) distance to account for and accommodate the thickness dimension of the anti-ballistic windows, doors, dome, or other and visual viewing plates.
