Ebusika buka-1902, owesifazane ogama lakhe linguMary Anderson wayeya eNew York futhi wathola ukuthi isimo sezulu esibi senzaukushayelakuhamba kancane kakhulu.Ngakho wakhipha incwadi yakhe yokubhala wadweba umdwebo: aisisuli serabhangaphandle kweifasitela lomoya, ixhunywe ku-lever engaphakathi emotweni.
U-Anderson wanikeza ilungelo lobunikazi lokusungula kwakhe ngonyaka olandelayo, kodwa bambalwa abantu ababenezimoto ngaleso sikhathi, ngakho-ke ukusungula kwakhe akuzange kukhange isithakazelo esikhulu.Ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi, lapho iModel T kaHenry Ford iletha izimoto endaweni evamile, i-Anderson's “isihlanzi samafasitela"Wayekhohliwe."
UJohn Oishei wabe esezama futhi.U-Oishei uthole i-ejensi ekhiqizwe ngesandla endaweniumshini wokusula imotookwakubizwa ngokuthi iRain Rubber. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-windscreen yayihlukaniswe izingxenye eziphezulu nezingezansi, kantiirabha yemvulawashelela eceleni kwesikhala esiphakathi kwezingcezu ezimbili zengilazi. Wabe esesungula inkampani yokuyikhangisa.
Nakuba idivayisi yayidinga umshayeli ukuba alawule inhlaka yemvula ngesandla esisodwa kanye nesiteringi ngesinye—yasheshe yaba imishini ejwayelekile ezimotweni zaseMelika.Inkampani ka-Oishei, ekugcineni eyabizwa ngokuthi iTrico, yasheshe yabusai-wiper bladeimakethe.
Eminyakeni edlule,ama-wiperziye zasungulwa kabusha ngokuphindaphindiwe ngenxa yezinguquko ekuklanyweni kwefasitela lemoto. Kodwa umqondo oyisisekelo useyilokho u-Anderson akudweba emotweni yomgwaqo yaseNew York ngo-1902.
Njengoba esinye isikhangiso sakuqala sama-wiper e-windscreen sisho: “Umbono ocacilekuvimbela izingozi futhi kwenzaukushayela kalula.
