Abstract: A wiper for a glazed surface of a vehicle is disclosed. The wiper includes at least one structural element, a wiper rubber carried by the structural element, at least one end piece arranged at a longitudinal end of the structural element, at least one conduit extending in a main direction of elongation of the wiper, and at least one spray element fluidically connected to the conduit and formed on the structural element. The wiper rubber is configured to bear against the glazed surface and to sweep a wiping zone of the glazed surface. The spray element is configured to spray cleaning fluid in a spray direction onto an additional zone distinct from the wiping zone.

Abstract: A wiper blade is disclosed having a blade body extending along a longitudinal elongation direction of the wiper blade and a wiper rubber carried by the blade body and configured for cleaning a visibility zone of a glazed surface for a motor vehicle. The blade body includes at least one spray element configured to project the cleaning fluid into an additional zone separate from the visibility zone to clean an element arranged outside the visibility zone. The at least one spray element is in a so-called vertical orientation defined by an angle between 60° and 110° with respect to a so-called vertical direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal elongation direction and in a so-called vertical plane, of which the normal is parallel to the main elongation direction.

Abstract: A cleaning method (1) for cleaning a glazed surface (20) of a vehicle (2), said vehicle (2) comprising a cleaning device (21) comprising a wiping system (210) with at least one spray device for spraying a liquid (Lq), characterized in that said cleaning method (1) involves verifying (E1) a first condition (C1) that the current season (sc) is spring or summer, verifying (E2) a second condition (C2) which is the probability (pb) of there being insect strike (is) on said glazed surface (20), and verifying (E3) a third condition (C3) that said vehicle (2) is stopped. If all of the conditions (C) are met, then activating (E4) the cleaning device to begin a cleaning cycle (Cy), and executing (E5) the cleaning cycle (Cy) using said cleaning device (21).
