When Windscreen wipers were first invented, it was to assist the car user to maintain his clear windscreen without the need to put his hand outside of the car and clean the windscreen maually.

Almost everywhere that glass is located, so may you find Wiper blades. They are not just used on the front windscreen of a car, but often on hatchbacks are also attached to the back windscreen. Some vehicles also have Wiper blades on their headlights. This is very useful for dirty roads, or in snowy weather conditions, where headlamps could soon become much less efficient without this wonderful invention.

Even planes have Windscreen wipers and I would expect that they need to have some of the best Wiper blades available. As they travel at such quick speeds and with major temperature variations anything less than the best would soon perish.

Public transport, either buses, trams or trains, all have Windscreen wipers in order to assist their drivers with visibility. Whilst trains are on rails, and therefore it may be thought “well why is it necessary for a train driver to see so well?” there are still signals along the train line which the train driver needs to take heed of in order to keep the passengers safe. The driver also needs to be able to see when driving towards a station that the train stops safely. Wiper blades, therefore, are necessary for all types of public transport.

Motorbikes do not appear to have Windscreen wipers and this is probably because not all motorbikes have windshields. Motorbike riders wear helmets with visors and they often also have a special rain visor, so the necessity for Wiper blades on a motorbike is not as high as it would be for other types of vehicle.

The best wiper blades moving away from transport have personally got to be the ones used by window cleaners. How much easier it is to get a clean result on home, office and shop windows by using Wiper blades than ever it was with newspaper and vinegar. I am unsure who first thought to move the Wiper blades away from the windscreen and used them on a building window, but I respect them greatly. Streak-free windows are now much more achievable.

Small versions of Wiper blades are also available to purchase for use in the bathroom, on shower screens and tiles, so that these can be kept streak-free and help prevent the accumulation of limescale.

This all just shows how one person’s notion of how to make life easier for a certain set of people can in actual fact improve many more individuals’ daily lives in time.
