Abstract

A nozzle device ( 3 ) for cleaning a window ( 2 ) has a plurality of nozzle openings ( 15, 16 ). One nozzle opening ( 15 ) which is embodied as a localised jet nozzle is arranged on the end of a groove-type recess ( 18 ) of the nozzle body ( 6 ). The nozzle body ( 6 ) is pressed into a nozzle housing ( 4 ) guiding a washing liquid. In this way, the nozzle opening ( 15 ) is formed partially by the nozzle body ( 6 ) and partially by the nozzle housing ( 4 ). The nozzle device ( 3 ) is thus especially cost-effective.

Claims (32)

1 . A nozzle device for cleaning a window with at least two nozzle openings for discharging a respective jet of washing liquid, wherein the nozzle openings have different radiating characteristics and wherein at least one of the nozzle openings is designed as a localized jet nozzle, wherein a nozzle housing having a central passage for guiding washing liquid has a receptacle for a precisely fitting and nonrotatable insertion of a nozzle body and a recess is guided from the central passage as far as the nozzle openings and is sealed off on its longest extent in the nozzle body or the nozzle housing from a respectively opposite component, and wherein the nozzle opening designed as a localized jet nozzle is formed partially by a wall of the nozzle body and partially by a wall of the nozzle housing.

2 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of groove-type recesses extend on one side of the nozzle body from the central passage as far as a plurality of nozzle openings.

3 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle body has a noncircular cross section.

4 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle body is manufactured integrally with sealing lips for sealing it off from the receptacle of the nozzle housing.

5 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle body is pressed into the nozzle housing.

6 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle body and/or the nozzle housing have/has a further recess and the respectively opposite component has an elastically resilient projection penetrating the further recess.

7 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein the further recess is designed as a groove and the projection as a bead.

8 . The nozzle device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one localized jet nozzle is arranged on one end side of the nozzle body and a fluidic nozzle, flat jet nozzle or fan jet nozzle is arranged on the other end side.

9 . A nozzle device for cleaning a windshield or a diffusion lens of a headlamp of a vehicle comprising:

a nozzle body having at least two nozzle openings for discharging a respective jet of washing liquid, wherein the nozzle openings have different radiating characteristics and wherein at least one of the nozzle openings is designed as a localized jet nozzle,

a nozzle housing having a central passage for guiding washing liquid comprising a receptacle for a precisely fitting and nonrotatable insertion of the nozzle body,

wherein the nozzle body and the nozzle housing form a recess guided from the central passage as far as the nozzle openings,

and wherein the nozzle opening designed as a localized jet nozzle is formed partially by a wall of the nozzle body and partially by a wall of the nozzle housing.

10 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein a plurality of groove-type recesses extend on one side of the nozzle body from the central passage as far as a plurality of nozzle openings.

11 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein the nozzle body has a noncircular cross section.

12 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein the nozzle body is manufactured integrally with sealing lips for sealing it off from the receptacle of the nozzle housing.

13 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein the nozzle body is pressed into the nozzle housing.

14 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein the nozzle body and/or the nozzle housing have/has a further recess and the respectively opposite component has an elastically resilient projection penetrating the further recess.

15 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein the further recess is designed as a groove and the projection as a bead.

16 . The nozzle device according to claim 9 , wherein at least one localized jet nozzle is arranged on one end side of the nozzle body and a fluidic nozzle, flat jet nozzle or fan jet nozzle is arranged on the other end side.

17 . A nozzle device for cleaning a windshield or a diffusion lens of a headlamp of a vehicle comprising:

a nozzle body having at least two nozzle openings for discharging a respective jet of washing liquid, wherein the nozzle openings have different radiating characteristics and wherein at least one of the nozzle openings is designed as a localized jet nozzle,

a nozzle housing having a central passage for guiding washing liquid comprising a receptacle for a precisely fitting and nonrotatable insertion of the nozzle body,

wherein the nozzle body and the nozzle housing form a recess guided from the central passage as far as the nozzle openings,

wherein the nozzle opening designed as a localized jet nozzle is formed partially by a wall of the nozzle body and partially by a wall of the nozzle housing,

wherein a plurality of groove-type recesses extend on one side of the nozzle body from the central passage as far as a plurality of nozzle openings,

wherein the nozzle body has a noncircular cross section,

wherein the nozzle body is manufactured integrally with sealing lips for sealing it off from the receptacle of the nozzle housing, and

wherein the nozzle body is pressed into the nozzle housing.

18 . The nozzle device according to claim 17 , wherein the nozzle body and/or the nozzle housing have/has a further recess and the respectively opposite component has an elastically resilient projection penetrating the further recess.

19 . The nozzle device according to claim 17 , wherein the further recess is designed as a groove and the projection as a bead.

20 . The nozzle device according to claim 17 , wherein at least one localized jet nozzle is arranged on one end side of the nozzle body and a fluidic nozzle, flat jet nozzle or fan jet nozzle is arranged on the other end side.
