A primary yoke (24) for a windshield wiper assembly has transversely spaced leeward (42) and windward (44) sides extending along the length thereof and vertically extending webs (56 58, 60), which maintain a predetermined separation between said sides which increases from a minimum at the bottom to a maximum at the top the, inner surface (62) of the leeward side (42) being inclined toward the windward side (44) and defining a gap therebetween through which air may pass to minimize turbulence from air flow impinging on the primary yoke.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 16, 1991 and granted August 2, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 16, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 16, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
