Abstract

In a device (1) for cleaning a window (2) or a lens of a motor vehicle, a wash nozzle (5) is of spherical design and is held in a ball socket (13) of a nozzle stem (4). The wash nozzle (5) produces a fan-type jet (6) and can be adjusted by an angle of inclination α and a tilting angle β in relation to the nozzle stem (4). The device can be freely adjusted to different designs of the motor vehicle.
