A wiper device is disclosed. The wiper device of the present invention is coupled to a wiper arm and removes a foreign substance attached to a windshield. The wiper device includes a contact member configured to wipe off the foreign substance, a lever structure configured to press the contact member to be tightly in contact with the windshield and having a plurality of levers connected in a multi-level structure, and an adapter configured to be coupled to the lever structure and connected to the wiper arm, wherein the lever structure comprises a connection member configured to hinge-connect at least at least one pair of the plurality of levers.

A wiper device is disclosed. The wiper device coupled to a wiper arm to remove a foreign substance of the present invention includes a contact member configured to wipe off the foreign substance; a lever structure configured to press the contact member to be in contact with a windshield and having a plurality of levers connected in a multi-level structure from the wiper arm to the contact member; and an adapter configured to be coupled to the lever structure and connected to the wiper arm, wherein at least one lever of the plurality of levers is formed to have less width or equal width to that of a lower lever, based on the multi-level structure.

A wiper blade is presented having a wiper strip, a force distribution structure having opposite ends, the wiper strip connected to the force distribution structure, and a cover, wherein the cover is made from a hydrophobic material, a material exhibiting hydrophobic properties, or a material having a water contact angle that is greater than 90 degrees.

A windscreen wiper device for cleaning a windshield of a vehicle is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper strip for sealing against the windshield and at least one carrier element engaged with the wiper strip to bias the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration. A frame structure is coupled to the at least one carrier element and includes at least two components. One of the components presents an elongated member with a resilient tab, and another component includes a longitudinally extending opening. One of the walls of the opening has a recess shaped similarly to the resilient tab. The elongated member is inserted into the opening until the resilient tab snaps into the opening to interconnect the components.

A streamlined flat windscreen wiper for a vehicle is disclosed. The flat wiper includes a longitudinal wiper blade, at least one longitudinal stiffening member, a longitudinal member for retaining the wiper blade and the stiffening member, a longitudinal streamlined portion including two terminal caps and a central mounting extending between the terminal caps and being connected thereto. The mounting includes means for fixing to the stiffening member or to the member for retaining the stiffening member, and each cap includes means for guiding in translation terminal parts of the member.

The present invention relates to a connector (1) for a wiper blade, designed to be interposed between an adapter and a structural element of the wiper blade. The connector (1) extends longitudinally between a first longitudinal end (14) and a second longitudinal end (14). The connector (1) comprises at least one fixing block (22) configured such as mechanically to connect the connector (1) to the structural element of the wiper blade and a linking block (13) configured such as mechanically to connect the connector (1) to the adapter. The connector (1) comprises at least one skirt (23) that extends longitudinally from the fixing block (22). The skirt (23) comprises at least one rib (24) that extends between the fixing block (22) and one of the longitudinal ends (14).
