The invention concerns a wiper blade for a vehicle, comprising at least one wiper strip intended to come to bear on a glazed surface and at least one bending member (1) housed in a support, the wiper strip being held by the support, the bending member (1) being configured to generate curvature in the wiper blade, the bending member (1) being arranged in the form of a longitudinally extending strip, the strip comprising, seen in cross-section, an intermediate portion (2) arranged between two lateral portions (3a, 3b) of the strip, characterized in that a first thickness (12) of the intermediate portion (2) is less than a second thickness (13) of at least one of the lateral portions (3a, 3b).

A spoiler of an automotive wiper system that extends in a main direction of elongation and is configured to be mounted on the wiper system's arm or a wiper where the spoiler is predominantly formed by a one-piece main layer, where the spoiler includes at least one engraving zone in which the main layer has a cavity that houses at least one secondary layer that is distinct from the main layer and the engraving zone is configured in such a way that the at least one secondary layer is elongated while being at least partially covered by the main layer.

A wiper blade assembly comprises a blade having upper and lower major surfaces, a wiper element extending from the lower major surface of the blade, a connector mounted on the upper major surface of the blade, and spoilers extending from opposite sides of the connector. The spoilers and the connector ore configured to positively engage each other. The spoiler includes a slice which will form a tear in the spoiler should the spoiler be moved axially relative to the connector to at least discourage reattachment of the spoiler should the spoiler be removed. The connector is a connector assembly comprising a connector base mountable to the blade of the wiper and an adapter which is separate from the connector base. The adapter is removably mountable to the connector base. Several different adapters are disclosed to allow the wiper assembly to be connected to different types of vehicle wiper arms.

A windscreen wiper device, particularly for automobiles, comprising an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, the wiper blade comprising a connecting device for an oscillating arm, wherein the oscillating arm near one end thereof is pivotally connected to the wiper blade (2) and near the other end thereof is connected to a mounting head on a drive shaft for transferring a reciprocal movement to the wiper blade, wherein the windscreen wiper device further comprises a cap detachably connected to the mounting head at the location where the oscillating arm is connected to the mounting head, wherein the cap is snapped onto an outer wall of the mounting head in axial direction thereof, with the special feature that the cap comprises at least one resilient, downwardly extending tongue having a hole, wherein the outer wall of the mounting head comprises a laterally outwardly extending protrusion engaging in the hole of the tongue, and wherein the resilient tongue is hingeable along an hinge axis between an inward position retaining the cap onto the mounting head and an outward position releasing the cap from the mounting head.

A wiper arrangement having at least one securing and/or guide unit (34a; 34b; 34c), which has at least one securing element (36a; 36b; 36c) with which a connecting unit (24a; 24b; 24c) can be brought into contact when a wiper blade (14a; 14b; 14c) moves relative to a wiper arm (18a; 18b; 18c), and which has at least one guide element (44a; 44b; 44c), which guides the connecting unit (24a; 24b; 24c) when the wiper blade (14a; 14b; 14c) moves relative to the wiper arm (18a; 18b; 18c).

A wind deflector for a windscreen wiper system of a motor vehicle has a windscreen-cleaning apparatus with at least one nozzle for cleaning a windscreen integrated therein. The wind deflector has a wind deflector contour, by way of which an air flow in the region of an associated wiper arm and a wiper blade can be guided. The wind deflector, on its side that faces the wiper blade, has at least one wind-guiding element, which is arranged in the region of the associated nozzle and protrudes, raised, toward the windscreen.

The invention relates to a connector (10) for a wiping system (1), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a elongated connector body (50) which has an elongated shape and is configured to be mounted on a wiper blade (2), characterized in that the connector body (50) comprises a device for guiding at least one air flow towards a surface to be wiped (40) in order to reduce a liquid suction phenomenon.

An adapter that connects with a coupler for a wiper element is configured to connect with a plurality of different wiper arms each having a different wiper arm style. The adapter can be a one-piece body or a multi-piece body having a cavity and openings for receiving distal ends or distal end features of each of the plurality of different wiper arms. The adapter can also include different tabs for engaging with openings, notches or other components on distal ends of each of the plurality of different wiper arms.
