- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Typical windshield wiper blades are provided to move over and to clean outer surfaces of windshields of vehicles. After using, or after being hardened by sunshine for a period of time, the windshield wiper blades may be hardened and/or broken, and thus may not be used to effectively clean the windshields.
- For allowing the windshields of the vehicles to be suitably cleaned by the windshield wiper blades, the windshield wiper blades should be cleaned or sharpened from time to time, in order to remove the hardened portions or parts of the windshield wiper blades.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,613,318 to Gianatasio discloses one of the typical windshield wiper blade sharpener devices, and comprises a windshield sharpener attachment for attaching onto the windshields of the vehicles, and having an abrasive coated surface formed thereon for engaging with and for sharpening the windshield wiper blades.
- However, the windshield sharpener attachments should be attached onto the windshields of the vehicles, and thus will interfere the field of vision of the vehicle drivers.
- The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional windshield wiper blade sharpener devices.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a windshield wiper blade sharpener device including a portable structure for being easily carried and operated by users, and for easily cleaning or sharpening the windshield wiper blades.
- In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a windshield wiper blade sharpener device comprising a block including a groove formed therein for receiving a wiper blade, and an abrasive coated surface provided in the groove of the block for engaging with and for sharpening the wiper blade.
- The groove of the block includes a V-shape having two abrasive coated surfaces provided therein. The block includes at least one passage formed in the abrasive coated surface of the block and communicating with the groove thereof. The block includes at least one orifice formed therein and communicating with the groove thereof.
- A casing may further be provided and attached to the block and including a chamber formed therein. The casing includes a fluid received in the chamber thereof for supplying to the groove of the block via the orifice of the block.
- A cover may further be provided and attached to the block, to shield the groove of the block. The cover includes at least one stud extended therefrom, and engaged onto the orifice of the block, to block and to shield the orifice of the block.
- The block includes a paper sheet engaged in the groove thereof and having the abrasive coated surface provided on the paper sheet. The block further includes a board engaged in the groove thereof and having the paper sheet attached onto the board. The block includes a pair of flanges extended therefrom to engage with the board and to retain the board in the groove of the block.
- The block includes at least one second groove formed therein, and an abrasive coated surface provided in the second groove of the block. The block includes an outer surface having an abrasive coated surface provided thereon. The block may be made of silicon carbide materials, crystolon materials, tourmaline materials, calcium carbide materials, or porcelain materials.
