The present invention relates to a device for supporting a pair of wiper blades (12, 26; 13, 27), comprising first and second supporting grooves (14, 28), each of which is provided with a means for retaining at least one laterally extending structural element (22; 54) of two respective blades (12, 26; 13, 27) by resilient nesting. According to the invention, the supporting grooves (14, 28) are arranged side by side with a common wall, the supporting grooves having two respective openings leading into parallel and offset planes (R1, R2), the second supporting groove (28) being arranged above the first supporting groove (14) and having a substantially flared shape, wherein said openings belong to a single side of the supporting device. The present invention also relates to a supporting assembly comprising a plurality of supporting devices, and to a corresponding mounting method.

Wiper unit (2), in particular for a windscreen wiper, comprising a body (2) and an articulated cover (28a), which can be displaced between two positions (P1, P3) opposite the body (2), characterized in that it comprises stop means (30, 31a, 31b, 27b, 283a2) which define an end of course position (P3) of the cover (28a).

A heated wiper blade for motor vehicles includes an elongated flexible beam and a heating element extending along the beam. The heating element may be configured to provide increased heat at the central portion of the blade and at the opposite ends of the blade. The heating element is comprised of an electrical conductor material that varies the amperage drawn between hot and cold ambient temperature operation. The flexible beam may include curved end portions and a flat or reduced curvature central portion. The heating element is preferably covered and sealed off to prevent loss of heat energy.

A windscreen wiper device is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes an elongated wiper strip of a flexible material for sealing against the windshield and at least one elongated groove. At least one flexible and elongated carrier element is disposed in the at least one groove of the wiper strip for biasing the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration when in a relaxed state. The at least one carrier element presents at least one upwardly facing curve and at least one downwardly facing curve when in a relaxed state.

A wiper connector for a vehicle may be provided which connects a wiper arm to a wiper blade 10 and includes: a body 320 including a pair of elastic moving pieces 362 which is formed on one end thereof and faces each other, and one or more coupling parts 330 and 340 which are formed on both sides thereof and by which the wiper arm is caught; and a cover 310 movable to a fixing position for fixing the wiper arm which is caught by the body 320 and to a release position for releasing the fixed wiper arm. The pair of the elastic moving pieces 362 elastically restrains the movement of the cover 310 at the fixing position and allows the cover 310 to move to the release position when a releasing force for removing the elastic restraint is applied to the elastic moving piece 362.

A middle blade structure of a wiper includes a pivot plate and an outer arm. The pivot plate includes a pivot part disposed thereon. The pivot part includes a first inner arm extended from one end thereof, the first inner arm includes a fixed hole defined thereon, the pivot part including a second inner arm extended from another end thereof, a length of the second inner arm is shorter than a length of the first inner arm, the second inner arm including a bent part disposed on one end thereof, wherein the pivot part, the first inner arm, and the second inner arm are arranged on a same straight line. The outer arm, extended from the bent part, and including a connection part disposed on one end thereof, the connection part including a connection hole defined thereon.

Disclosed is an adapter for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm. The adapter includes a body coupled to the wiper blade. The wiper arm is detachably connected to the body; and a locking cap pivotally coupled to a front of the body, wherein the body has, a blade coupling shaft rotatably coupled to the wiper blade; a pair of locking cap coupling shafts rotatably coupled to the locking cap; and a first arm coupling groove recessed in an outer side surface of the body. A portion of the first arm coupling groove is positioned between the blade coupling shaft and the locking cap coupling shaft.
