Definition of windscreen wiper

windscreen wipernoun

cần gạt nước kính chắn gió

/ˈwɪndskriːn waɪpə(r)//ˈwɪndskriːn waɪpər/

The term "windscreen wiper" originated in the early 20th century when cars began to be equipped with a device to clear rain and other debris from the windshield or windscreen. Initially, drivers would manually remove water and dirt from their windscreens using cloths, rags, or their hands. However, as cars became faster and the weather more unpredictable, it became necessary to find a more efficient and reliable solution. The first electric wipers were introduced in the 1920s, and they operated by a vacuum pump that created suction to pull the wiper blades across the windscreen. This design was quickly superseded by a more effective system, which featured a motor that turned the wipers mechanically. The term "windscreen wiper" first appeared in the 1930s, as the devices were specifically designed to remove rain and windscreen debris from the front-most glass panel of a vehicle, which is known as the windscreen. The term "wiper" was coined as a combination of the words "wipe" and "blade", as this described the motion and function of the device. Since then, windscreen wipers have been an essential part of any modern car, with varying designs and mechanisms developed over time to improve performance and functionality. Today, most windscreen wipers are operated by electric motors, and they can be adjusted for different speeds, intervals, and sensitivity settings to suit the weather conditions.
