Abstract

A reciprocating linear sweeping wiping mechanism includes a guide and drive carriage bearing at least a wiper element slidingly mounted inside at least a rigid longitudinal guide rail produced in the form of a hollow extruded profile. The transverse positioning of the frame plate relative to the extruded profile includes a longitudinally oriented rigid rib borne by the extruded profile or by a frame plate, which is received longitudinally sliding in a vertically open matching longitudinal groove borne by the frame plate or the extruded profile, respectively, and each stabilizing element is a stabilizing pad which is longitudinally slidingly received inside the corresponding C-shaped slide rail.
