According to the inventive concept, the distribution of the pressing pressure applied to the elastic member is controlled, and the contact force with which the contact member is pressed against the windshield of a vehicle is controlled by controlling the distribution of the pressing pressure of the elastic member, and, this improves the ability of the contact member to follow the windshield of the vehicle, thereby improving wiping characteristics of the wiper blade assembly.

The invention relates to a support mount (10) for a windscreen wiper, said mount (10) comprising a body of longitudinal principal orientation (X), said body comprising first means designed to receive a curving vertebra (20) and second means designed to hold a deflector (30) of said wiper, characterized in that said second means comprise notches (50) making it easier for said vertebra to curve. The invention also relates to a windscreen wiper comprising such a mount (10). The invention also relates to a wiping system comprising such a wiper.

Described is a dual-blade wiper blade for a windshield of a vehicle. The dual-blade wiper blade has a frame structure, a squeegee, a wiping lip, and a scraping lip. The squeegee coupled to the frame structure. Each of the wiping lip and the scraping lip are coupled to the squeegee. The scraping lip being positioned in parallel with the wiping lip.

A packaging device for a windscreen wiper blade has a housing configured to receive the blade, having a first support surface configured to contact a portion of an upper part of the blade, a second support surface configured to contact a first portion of a lower part of the blade, a third support surface configured to contact a second portion of the lower part of the blade, a centering means, and a hooking means for hanging the packaging device vertically. The centering means blocks the blade at the center of the housing when the packaging device is hung. The first support surface extends opposite an area situated between the second support surface and the third support surface, and the first, second, and third support surfaces together immobilize the blade inside the housing in a position that is at least partially straightened out relative to a resting position of the blade.

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 comprising 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.

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 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 heated wiper assembly has a frame for attachment to a windshield wiper arm of a vehicle and a resilient wiper body on the frame. A cover is mounted to the frame along opposing side edges and includes an apex which is raised relative to the side edges of the cover member to define at least one ramped and air deflecting surface and a hollow passage along the cover. A heating element received in the wiper body includes electrical leads extending through the hollow passage in the cover. A controller of the heating element is supported externally of the cover member. The conductive wires of the heating element are received within a common injection molded sheath. A wiring adapter is mounted in place of a fuse within a vehicle fuse box and includes circuits for ready connection of the heating element to a power source of the vehicle.

The invention proposes a wiper blade (10) of a motor vehicle, comprising a heating electrical circuit (30) comprising at least one heating resistive element, which is connected to terminals (36) for supplying electric current, and a component for regulating the electric power supply current, which is a resettable fuse with a positive temperature coefficient (50), known as a PTC fuse. The PTC fuse (50) is, for example, a surface-mounted component, known as a CMS component, which is electrically connected to two belonging electrical connecting areas (44, 46).

A wiper blade is provided that includes a blade having an outer surface and terminating in a lip tip. A permanent silicone outer coating derived from a liquid silicone rubber is bonded to at least to the lip tip. The coating can also encapsulate the blade. An improved process for operating a wiper blade is also provided in which the wiper blade has a blade with an outer surface and terminating in a lip tip. The improvement involves curing a liquid silicone rubber to adhere a permanent silicone outer coating at least to said lip tip and then movably contacting said lip tip with a windshield.

A packaging device for a windscreen wiper blade has a housing configured to receive the blade, having a first support surface configured to contact a portion of an upper part of the blade, a second support surface configured to contact a first portion of a lower part of the blade, a third support surface configured to contact a second portion of the lower part of the blade, a centering means, and a hooking means for hanging the packaging device vertically. The centering means blocks the blade at the center of the housing when the packaging device is hung. The first support surface extends opposite an area situated between the second support surface and the third support surface, and the first, second, and third support surfaces together immobilize the blade inside the housing in a position that is at least partially straightened out relative to a resting position of the blade.
