Chapter I NOMENCLATURE OF W IND SH I E LD W IP ER S( ARMS AND BLADE ONLY )
A windscreen wiper or windshield wiper is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid,
water, and/or debris from a vehicle's front window so the vehicle's operator can better see what's ahead of
them. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a
cabin—and some aircraft—are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal
requirement.
A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, the other end has a long rubber blade
attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also
used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other
precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility, from its surface. On vehicles made after 1969, the
speed is normally adjustable, with several continuous speeds, and often one or more intermittent settings.
Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use
one or more pantograph arms.
The windshield wiper system must meet the following requirements:
Removal of water and snow.
Removal of dirt (mineral, organic or biological).
Operation at high and low temperatures (+80°C - -30°C)
Corrosion resistance against acids, alkalis, salts (240h) and ozone (72h).
Service life 1.5 million wipe cycles for a passenger car.
Stall test.
Wiper Blades:
Most Wiper Blades are in lengths between 260 to 1,000 mm. They have between 4 and 10
pressure points. Most common are the Blades with 6 to 8 pressure points and a length between 430 and
700 mm. In some cases, aerodynamics deflectors are integrated in the wiper arms or blades to press the
blades against the windshield.
Blade Geometry
The rubber element is the most important component of the Wiper Blades. It has double micro
edges that are pressed against the windshield. The micro edge has a point of contact that is only of
approximate 0.01 mm. Of width. When moving across the windshield, the Wiper Blade must overcome
coefficients of the Dry friction of 0.8 to 2.25 and coefficient of Wet friction of 0.6 to 1. The correct
combination of the Wiper Blade profile and rubber properties must be chosen so that the wiper lip can
wipe the complete wiped area of the windshield surface at an angle of 45 degrees.
Blade Material
There are three different combinations of rubber compound:
- 4 -
Natural rubber
Synthetic rubber
2-component with either synthetic- synthetic or natural- synthetic rubber
The rubber properties are important for the wiping quality at different temperatures. The lowest
temperatures are the most difficult to get a good wiping quality because the rubber get stiff when it get
cold. Tests have shown that the natural rubber is the most effective in low temperatures.
The first windshield wiper was a rubber blade on the windshield that was rotated manually. Off
course, this design had its disadvantages and it was soon replaced by a vacuum driven wiper system.
However, this system was plagued by the fact that its speed of operation changed with the speed of the
vehicle. This failure finally led to the attachment of an electrical driven motor to the wiper arm. This is
essentially the design that is still in use. All of the latest progress with the wiper blade is about materials.
The latest research is focusing on the possibility to use synthetic rubber instead of natural rubber. The
following figure shows the evolution of the blade.

11. The demand in the domestic market
Market Dynamics
The increase in use of bone and boneless wiper blades in domestic and industrial applications as
well as increasing technological investments by leading players have led to the growth of windshield
wiper blades market globally. Increased use of windshield wiper blades in automotive sector is expected
to change the dynamics of the market in near future. The major challenges can be attributed to the
stringent government regulations, poor performance of aftermarket windshield wiper blades, and threat of
substitutes.
Market Classification and Overview
The windshield wiper blades market is bifurcated on the basis of type, application, end use
industry, and geography. The windshield wiper blades market by type is divided into two broad
categories, namely, boneless wiper blades and bone wiper blades. Bone windshield wiper blade is the
largest and most mature market as it caters to almost every type of application. Boneless windshield
wiper blades is the fastest growing market owing to major factors such as its ability to withstand high
pressure, increased elasticity to reduce jitter abrasion, light weight, uniform force and long shelf life.
Based on application, the market is segmented into aftermarket and original equipment manufacturers
(OEM). OEMs segment dominates the application market for windshield wiper blades owing to its sturdy
design, high optical quality ensuring adequate performance and good pressure points. The windshield
wiper blades used in aftermarket are cheaper than OEMs, and are frame less and can fit to any vehicle.
However, they still are not highly preferred owing to its low optical quality, lack of pressure points and
poor performance. Based on end use industry, the market is further segmented into automotive and
aviation among others. Automotive segment accounts for majority of the global consumption of
windshield wiper blades and led the global market followed by aviation sector. Automotive is also
projected to be the fastest growing market owing to increase in demand and production of passenger
vehicles leading to an increase in use of windshield wiper blades in vehicles globally.
12. Demand of the export market
The market for windshield wiper blades is segmented into regions such as North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle-East and Africa (MEA). North America was the major
contributors to the growth of windshield wipers market in 2015. Asia-Pacific was the second biggest
market followed by Europe. The Asia-Pacific market is further projected to witness highest growth in
coming years owing to the growth of automotive industry in the region
The increase in the global production of motor vehicles is one of the most important factors for
- 11 -
the positive growth of the wiper blades market. The Global Windshield Wiper Blades Market correlates
directly with the global production of motor vehicles, which is expected to reach 114 million units by
2024. In addition, the production of motor vehicles increased by 4.5% in 2016 compared to 2015.
Countries such as China and India have remained at the forefront in this context. The increasing adoption
of rear windshield wipers in entry-level cars is another important factor in the growth of the wiper market.
In recent years, several automakers such as Renault, Toyota, Maruti Suzuki and Tata, among others, have
launched new models of sedans and compact SUVs with pre-installed rear cleaners. Presently, with the
increasing penetration of the Internet, electronic commerce has grown exponentially. This factor has had
a positive impact on the growth of demand for automobile wipers, as online platforms allow customers to
conveniently buy and offer a large number of product offerings. In addition, e-commerce websites often
offer discounts on products, which makes customers prefer online platforms to offline stores. In addition,
the growing concept of DIY is another factor that contributes to the growing preference of online
channels by traditional stores.

5. Flow process chart of the manufacturing
Steps involved in Manufacturing Wind Shield Wipers( Arms And Blade Only):
6. Qualitative parameters of the product
The parameters that affect the windshield cleaning quality are listed below in the different areas:
6.1 Geometry dependent parameters
Wiper blade wear: New wiper blades is cleaning the windshield good. The more they are worn the
poorer will the cleaning quality be.
Wiper blade geometry: There are from 4 to 10 pressure points on the wiper blade. The profiles are
also varied. Every manufacturer has own blade geometry and often they even have different blade
geometry in different models.
blade is made by extrusion, injectionmolding or compression molding.
Blade surface coating

- 14 -
Windshield geometry: The windshield curvature affects the wiper arm pressure. If the curvature is
large, the geometry of the wiper blade is also affected. The angle between wiper blade and
windshield changes with the curvature of the windshield.
Aerodynamics: With good aerodynamic design of the hood, the cleaning quality is increased. The
airflow over the windshield affects the arm pressure and the washer fluid distribution.
Spray geometry: The distribution of the washer fluid at the windshield gives different cleaning results.
The better distribution over the windshield the better cleaning quality.
6.2 Material dependent parameters
Wiper blade material: Most of the wiper blades are made of natural rubber. There are 2- component
wiper blades. Some of them are synthetic-natural rubber and the rest are whole synthetic.
Windshield surface: The water contact angle is important. With a high angle, droplets will occur and
these will flow away with the airflow and gravity. Wiper system manufacturers prefer a low contact
angle to prevent chattering and smear.
6.3 Environmental depending parameters
Amount of rain: Much rain is more difficult to sweep of the windshield than less rain. Chattering can
occur when the rain amount is small.
Rain/dirt substance: The amount of particles and their origin affects the cleaning quality. The wear of
the blades will increase with increased amount of particles.
Temperature: The rain will have different properties with different temperatures. The wiper blade
performance is affected depending on the rubber properties that change with different temperatures.
6.4 Other depending parameters
Wiper arm speed: If the arm speed is to high aquaplaning of the wiper blade will occur.
Speed of the car: When the car have higher speed the arm pressure becomes to low because of the
airflow and this will result in blade lift-off. To prevent this there are aerodynamic deflectors
integrated in the wiper arm. The deflectors press the blade against the windshield and the arm
pressure increases.
Wiper arm pressure: Too high pressure will damage the blade. In parking position, the wiper blade
will have permanent deformation if the arm pressure is too high. Too low pressure will give poor
cleaning quality in high speeds.

Test facilities required for the Product have been listed here-under as :
- 16 -
10. Technology existing in the manufacturing of the product
10.1 The worker begins by putting together the pivot shaft for each wiper. The pivot shaft is made of a
set of fasteners and spacers that hold the wiper arm securely while allowing it to pivot and sweep the
design wipe angle. The shaft assembly includes the pivot shaft itself and (from the end near the small
connecting link to the tip of the shaft) a rubber washer, metal washer, nut, nut cap, knurled driver, washer,
and acorn nut. The knurled driver is a type of nut with ridges on the sides that grip any attachment. The
wiper arm will sit on the knurled driver, which keeps it from shifting out of position on the shaft, and the
washer and acorn nut hold the arm on the shaft. The pivot shaft is then attached to the small connecting
link with a washer and spring clip. A pin on the pivot shaft can be inserted in any one of three pin
positions when the shaft is attached to the link, depending on the design for the pivot and link.
10.2 For a single-arm wiper scheme, a U-shaped, galvanized steel bracket is fixed to the small
connecting link on the only pivot shaft with two shaft screws. The other end of the bracket will be
attached to the drive link later. For a scheme with two wipers, the small connecting link for the wiper on
the passenger's side is joined with a bracket to the end of the longer connecting link with shaft screws.
Similarly, a bracket is put on the small connecting link for the driver's side wiper, and it is attached to the
opposite end of the longer connecting link. Later, this end will also be attached to the drive link.
10.3 The drive link will be attached to the motor in the next step. The motor with the worm gear
reduction and other linkage is a stock item provided by a vendor, and the wiper system manufacturer does
not make any changes to it. The drive link must be secured precisely on the cam (drive arm) on the end of
the gear shaft so the wiper will sweep correctly but also so it can be parked in the right position under the
car molding. The connection between the cam and the drive link will be fixed by using another bracket
called the mirror bracket.
10.4 To set the angle between the drive link and the cam and motor, the motor, cam, mirror bracket,
and drive link are put inside a die set. The die set is an outline-like pattern made of steel with areas fitted
for the four parts. Wiper system makers have a collection of die sets with various angles for mounting the
drive link to the motor. The bracket is put on the drive link with a set of screws. The bracket is then
attached to the cam.
10.5 With the angle established, the cam is checked for fit with the drive shaft. Spacer washers are
added (if needed) between the cam and drive shaft, and the two are connected with a set of motor nuts
and screws. For a single-wiper scheme, the bracket with the single small link and pivot is screwed on the
drive link. For a scheme with two wipers, the bracket on the end of the long connecting link that also
supports the driver's side pivot and small connecting link is fastened to the drive link.
10.6 In the final steps in assembling the windshield wiper system, linkages made of springs are added
to connect each pivot shaft to the drive link. The wiper arms and blades are connected to the pivots. The
starter on the motor is also moved into the park position, and the wipers are placed in their park positions.

11. Suggested modern technology for implementation or available in the market
Over the years Industry have developed the capability to manufacture International Quality
standards wiper arms and blades at an economical price, which have long durability, and able to stand
adverse weather condition. Manufacturer consideration according to geographical and environment needs
of the customers to meet the most stringent requirements of most OEM in India and foreign markets. This
has only been made possible by innovations over the last few decades in the field Designing, tooling ,
prototype Development and packaging.
12. Raw material supply and availability
The manufacturer purchases all of the parts from companies that specialize in fabricating parts
from aluminum and steel, rubber blades, plastic bushings for the linkages, and the motors. Windshield
wipers and windshield wiper systems (with motors) are different assemblies; some manufacturers make
both, and others produce wipers only.
The connecting and drive links and the pivots that move the wipers are made of galvanized steel.
Galvanization is the process of applying zinc coating to steel to protect it from corrosion. Drive arms for
boats and vehicles used in the marine industry are made of stainless steel that resists damage from salt
water. The wiper suspension and claws are also galvanized steel. The galvanizing zinc coating is easier to
paint than uncoated steel. Steel is also the material in the small parts of wipers, such as washers, screws,
nuts, springs, and brackets.
The blade frame is made from aluminum. The blades are made of natural rubber or synthetic
compounds. Some rubber blades are composites of soft rubber on the wiping edge (the squeegee surface)
and firm rubber that supports the wiping edge in the rest of the blade.
Other materials that comprise parts of windshield wipers are rubber for washers in the pivots and
plastic bushings that line holes for connecting parts of the linkage. The wiper suspension is typically
painted black.

Chapter IV THE DETAILED BANKABLE PROJECT REPORTOFWIND SHIELDWIPERS( ARMS AND BLADEONLY)
1. Introduction
Windshield wiper blades are devices that are used in various forms of vehicles to protect glass
from dirt, water and snow, thus ensuring that the windows or glass remain clean. The major components
of a windshield wiper blade include a pivot socket, a spring steel sheet, two end ferrules, and a rubber
strip.
The spring steel sheet plays a major role in the wiper blade as it produces dispersive pressure to
ensure all the parts of the blade can bear average force uniformly, thus making the windscreen resistant to
scratch and rain marks. The market for windshield wiper blades has witnessed significant growth due to
rising demand from various end-use industries such as automotive and aviation.
2. Product & its Application
On some vehicles, a windscreen washer system is also used to improve and expand the function of
the wiper(s) to dry or icy conditions. This system sprays water, or an antifreeze window washer fluid, at
the windscreen using several well-positioned nozzles. This system helps remove dirt or dust from the
windscreen when it is used in concert with the wiper blades.
When antifreeze washer fluid is used, it can help the wipers remove snow or ice. For these types
of winter conditions, some vehicles have additional heaters aimed at the windows, or embedded heating
wire(s) in the glass; these defroster systems help to keep snow and ice from building up on the
windscreen. Less frequently, miniature wipers are installed on headlights to ensure that they function
optimally.
3. Desired Qualifications for Promoter
Many entrepreneurs rush into business without planning, and this causes them to mismanage their
companies. Without preparation, your business can run into legal trouble and you can lose a lot of money.
Thorough knowledge on the subject alongwith a Degree in Engineering should be preferred.
4. Market Potential and Marketing issues, if any
The Global Automotive Wipers Market is expected to reach USD 6.2 billion by the

During assembly, the workers observe the conditions of the parts during their work, but their only
specific quality control activity is to check the operation of the motors by turning them on to make sure
they start and by listening to the sounds they make as indications of performance.
The last inspection is performed when the assemblies are complete and before the wipers and
systems are packed. The manufacturing director or final quality control inspectors look at the general
appearance of the assemblies, confirm that the wipers have been sized and angled correctly for their
sweep, and check that the assemblies are in the park position. The director or inspectors also check to see
that the correct accessories are ready to be packed with the assemblies.

Chapter VI CONCLUSION
Currently there is no alternative for the car wipers but some prototype's are under development.
Nanotechnology: One kind of windshield prototype currently in development utilizes
nanotechnology. Different types of nanoparticles are applied to the windshield in multiple layers to
filter the sun’s UV rays, repel water and even detect and eradicate dirt. This innovative nanoparticle-
treated glass will provide an open unobstructed front view for drivers while eliminating any external
substances that may disrupt vision and airflow.
Ultrasonic Waves and Vibration: Another method being developed and tested involves sound
waves. Using ultrasound frequencies to send vibrations across the windshield, developers are
working to create a force field that flows over the windshield. The result is an invisible barrier that
prevents anything from settling on the glass. While currently still under development, this method
may be a more efficient and low energy alternative to windshield wipers and a more simple option to
nano-coating.
Airflow: Similar to the sound waves, another alternative design calls for a strong stream of air to be
blown over the windshield. Developed by two high school inventors from the United States, the idea
requires a steady and even current of air to flow out from nozzles placed at the bottom and sides of
the windshield. The stream of high pressure air will adjust according to the speed of the vehicle and
will sweep away any external elements that might accumulate during the drive.
The Global Automotive Wipers Market is expected to reach USD 6.2 billion by the year 2026. So
there is good market potential for Windshield Wipers. Manufacturing process is simple and raw materials
are easily available. So new manufacturing units can be established in the country with the assistance of
MSME Schemes and State MSME Schemes in particular state. Import of this product can be reduced to a
considerable level.
