Ebusika bowe-1902, elinye ibhinqa eligama linguMary Anderson lalisiya eNew York laza lafumanisa ukuba imozulu embi yayibangela ukuba kubekho.ukuqhubakancinci kakhulu.Ngoko ke wakhupha incwadi yakhe yokubhalela waza wazoba umzobo: aisisuli serabhangaphandle kwewindshield, exhunywe kwi-lever ngaphakathi kwemoto.
UAnderson unelungelo lobunikazi bokwenziwa kwakhe kunyaka olandelayo, kodwa bambalwa abantu ababenemoto ngelo xesha, ngoko ke ukuveliswa kwakhe akuzange kutsale umdla omkhulu.Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, xa iModel T kaHenry Ford yazisa iimoto kwindawo eqhelekileyo, ekaAnderson “isicoci sefestile” yalityalwa.
Emva koko uJohn Oishei wazama kwakhona.U-Oishei wafumana imveliso eyenziwa ekuhlaleni eqhutywa ngesandlaimoto yosulaebizwa ngokuba yiRabha yeMvula.Ngelo xesha, i-windshield yahlulwe yaba ngamacandelo aphezulu nangaphantsi, kunye neirabha yemvulatyibilika ecaleni kwesithuba esiphakathi kwamaqhekeza amabini eglasi.Emva koko waseka inkampani yokuyikhuthaza.
Ngoxa esi sixhobo sasifuna ukuba umqhubi aqhube iglu ngemvula ngesandla esinye kunye nevili lokuqhuba ngesinye—yakhawuleza yaba sisixhobo esiqhelekileyo kwiimoto zaseMerika.Inkampani ka-Oishei, ekugqibeleni yabizwa ngokuba yi-Trico, ngokukhawuleza yalawulai-wiper bladeimarike.
Emveni kweminyaka,ii wipersziphinde zaqanjwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ngenxa yotshintsho kuyilo lwefestile yomoya.Kodwa ingcamango esisiseko iseyile nto u-Anderson wayizotywayo kwisitrato saseNew York ngo-1902.
Njengoko esinye isibhengezo sangaphambili se-wipers ye-windshield siyibeka: “Umbono ocacileyoithintela iingozi kwaye yenzaukuqhuba lula.”
