A device for protecting an optical sensor of a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, with the optical sensor including an optic. The device includes an optical element arranged upstream of the optic of the optical sensor and mounted to be able to rotate about a first axis of rotation, and an electrical motor configured to rotate the optical element. The electric motor includes a rotor that rotates about a second axis of rotation intersecting with the first axis of rotation of the optical element.

The invention concerns a crank pin for a connecting rod of a wiper-actuating linkage system, the crank pin being configured to be received in a complementary inner cavity of a ball joint of the linkage system, and comprising a truncated spherical portion having at least one spherical sector and at least one truncated sector. The invention also concerns a complementary ball joint. The invention also concerns a corresponding linkage system and the method for assembling a connecting rod of such a system.

A telescopic cleaning device for an optical sensor of a vehicle, including a support sheath, a sprayer body, a sprayer adapted to be movable in translation relative to the sprayer body, with the sprayer body being adapted to be inserted in translation into the sheath and adapted to be attached in the sheath by blocking means. The sprayer body is thus prevented from coming out of the sheath, allowing secure attachment of the sprayer body in a vehicle. The invention also relates to a detection system and a method for assembling the telescopic cleaning device.

The invention relates to a protection unit for protecting an optical surface and to a detection assembly combining an apparatus emitting or capturing radiation through an optical region of interest of the optical surface. The protection unit further includes at least one wave transducer configured to generate an acoustic wave on or in the optical surface in order to clean the optical region of interest. According to the invention, the optical surface has at least one through-hole through which electrical wires for supplying power to the wave transducer extend.

The invention relates to a protection unit for an apparatus and to a detection assembly associating the apparatus emitting or capturing radiation through a region of interest of an optical surface of the protection unit. The protection unit further includes at least one wave transducer configured to generate an acoustic wave on or in the optical surface in order to clean the optical region of interest. According to the invention, the protection unit further includes an openwork surface located facing the optical surface, the openwork surface includes a solid portion and at least one opening through which the radiation emitted and/or captured by the apparatus can pass.

The invention proposes a device for cleaning an optical surface of an optical sensor of a vehicle. The device includes at least one segment in the form of an arc of a circle having a cleaning fluid inlet, at least one cleaning fluid circulation channel, able to be supplied with cleaning fluid via the cleaning fluid inlet, the channel being delimited by a base and a cover, at least one nozzle for diffusing cleaning liquid towards the optical surface from the fluid circulation channel. The at least one nozzle includes a deflector capable of deflecting the jet of cleaning fluid at a certain angle towards the optical surface, the cover having a thickness, and the deflector being at least partially within the thickness of the cover. The deflector is better protected. The invention also relates to a detection system and to a vehicle.

The present invention relates to an adapter assembly for a vehicle wiper system. The adapter assembly includes a spacer member releasably mounted on a base member. The spacer member includes flanks spaced apart from each other and connected to each other by an upper wall. The spacer member further includes two longitudinal lugs adapted to be received in corresponding slots of a yoke of a wiper arm. The spacer member includes a flexible cantilever having a button, and a bearing tab provided below the button such that a push-button of the base member may be locked to the bearing tab. The button of the spacer member may be received in a cut-out of the yoke and may facilitate the unlocking of the push-button. The spacer member makes the adapter assembly compatible with the wiper arm having the yoke design including side walls and a top wall having the cut-out.

The present invention relates to a system for spraying cleaning fluid. The system includes a first spray nozzle and a second spray nozzle, each capable of receiving cleaning fluid and spraying it. The system also includes a directional valve with an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet. The directional valve being capable of conveying cleaning fluid from the inlet to the first outlet when cleaning fluid received at the inlet has a pressure below a given threshold, and which is capable of conveying cleaning fluid from the inlet to the second outlet when the cleaning fluid received at the inlet has a pressure above the given threshold. The system further includes a pump capable of injecting fluid into the directional valve and capable of varying the pressure of the fluid.

The present invention relates to an adapter assembly for a wiper system. The adapter assembly includes a spacer member releasably mounted on a base member. The spacer member includes side walls having stud that are received in corresponding orifices provided in longitudinal walls of the base member, to mount and secure the spacer member on the base member. The spacer member further includes a flexible leg provided on its upper wall for receiving and locking the yoke of the wiper arm with the spacer member. The flexible leg includes a vertically deformable cantilever portion having a locking tab adapted to allow the yoke to slide over the spacer member and lock the yoke with the spacer member. Thus, the spacer member makes the adapter assembly compatible with the wiper arm having a cut-out in the yoke, more specifically a cut-out in a top wall of the yoke.

A coil of a stator for an electric motor is disclosed. The coil includes a bobbin which forms a tooth of the stator. The bobbin includes a tubular central shaft with a plurality of channels formed along its perimeter between a first end of the bobbin that is configured to face towards the middle of the stator. The bobbin also includes a first retaining flange situated on the first end of the central shaft, a second retaining flange situated on the second end of the central shaft, and a winding wire configured to be wound in the form of turns around the bobbin. The ends of the winding wire are positioned at the first end of the bobbin so as to enable electrical connections toward the center of the stator. The bobbin includes a material cutout extending between the first and second ends of the bobbin.
