Abstract: A pop-up external lens washing system has an extendable aiming fixture configured to aim a lens cleaning spray at an external lens which is exposed to the elements and apt to become soiled with debris. The extendable nozzle assembly is configured to be aimed toward the external lens by the extended aiming fixture during the washing operation only and has at least one laterally offset washing nozzle projecting from the aiming fixture to a spray washing fluid toward the external lens surface, spraying at a shallow, glancing spray aiming angle to impinge upon and wash the lens external surface.

Abstract: A vehicle sensor cleaning system that includes one or more vehicle sensors and a cleaning device. The system may further include an area to accommodate expansion of fluids due to freezing, such as a spring-loaded expansion valve, a floating barb expansion valve, or a three-way valve to a standpipe. The system may include systems and methods to evacuate the manifold such as purging with compressed or ambient air, or a syringe or drain valve mechanism. The system may be heated by a heating device such as a PTC heater, a resistive wire, or a low current coil. The system may provide a track or line to recirculate the fluid. These systems and methods may be incorporated into any portion of the system and in any combination. The systems and methods may be actuated by a mechanical or electrical switch that turns on based on direct pressure as a result of expanding or freezing fluid, in response to input by a temperature, pressure, or other sensor, or in response to automated or user input. The manifold may also comprise various modules and connections to adapt the system to any vehicle as desired.

Abstract: A connector assembly for joining a male member and a female connector member together to secure fluid communication in a fluid line system. The connector assembly includes a cover that is pivotally attached to the housing to conceal verification indicia when the male member is not attached to the housing. The cover configured to pivot relative to the housing to reveal the indicia once the male member is attached to the housing to allow a user or scanning device to view the indicia to verify a secure attachment of the connector assembly.

Abstract: An external lens washing system has an aiming fixture configured to support and constrain an external lens which is exposed to the elements and apt to become soiled with debris. A nozzle assembly is configured to be supported and aimed toward the external lens by the aiming fixture and has at least one laterally offset washing nozzle projecting from the aiming fixture to a spray washing fluid toward the external lens surface, spraying at a shallow, glancing spray aiming angle to impinge upon and wash the lens external surface. Optionally, an integrated image sensor and lens washing assembly is configured for use with a remote control method for cleaning an exterior objective lens surface and includes a sealed image sensor housing assembly including an integral, remotely controllable lens cleaning system with an optimized configuration for aiming one or more cleansing sprays from one or more laterally offset fluidic oscillators.
