The present invention relates to a wiper rubber (10) for a windshield wiper, comprising a wiper rubber substructure (1) with a wiper lip section (2) and a reinforcement section (4), the wiper rubber substructure (1) being uncoated and being formed from ethylene-propylene-diene rubber and/or ethylene-propylene rubber. In order to improve the wear resistance, wiping characteristics and wiping quality of the wiper rubber (10), the surface of the wiper rubber substructure (1) at least in a partial region (2c, 2c) of the wiper lip section (2) has been treated with ultraviolet radiation. The present invention further relates to a process for producing a wiper rubber, to a correspondingly produced wiper rubber and to a windshield wiper equipped therewith.

The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper blade that extends lengthwise in a longitudinal direction. A pre-curved carrier element with opposing lateral edges biases the wiper blade into a curved shape. At least one projection of a connector base is received in at least one notch of the carrier element for restricting relative longitudinal movement between the connector base and the carrier element. The connector base also at least one long locking arm and at least one short locking arm which engage around the lateral edges of the carrier element to lockingly connect the connector base with the carrier element. The at least one short locking arm has a lateral width which is less than the at least one long locking arm. The at least one short locking arm has a ramped lower surface for allowing the at least one short locking arm to snappingly engage the carrier element.

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (100) for a vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (2) having an elongated upper part (10) and an elongated lower part (12), which are configured to be flexible, at least in part. Furthermore, the device comprises a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), which are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2), and which are configured to allow a movement of the upper part (10) and the lower part relative to one another with a motion component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). The windshield wiper device (100) further comprises a fastening device. The fastening device comprises a wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) and a fastening element (50). The wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) and the fastening element (50) are configured in such a manner that, by means of rotation of the wiper-blade-side fastening part relative to the fastening element, an engagement can be formed in order to fix a position of the wiper-blade-side fastening part relative to the fastening element.

A flat wiper blade may be provided that includes: a wiper strip 10 which wipes the wiping surface; a seating part 100 including a first fitting protrusion 134 and a catching portion 135; a guide spring 30 which supports the wiper strip 10, to which the seating part 100 is coupled in an attachable and removable manner and which includes a first fitting recess 34 allowing the first fitting protrusion 134 to be inserted into a central portion 32 of the guide spring 30; and a first and a second spoiler 41 and 42 which are coupled to the guide spring 300. The catching portion 135 is caught by the first fitting recess 34.

The present invention discloses an assembly that can be used in windscreen wipers of vehicles and is consisting of an adapter and a nozzle structure, and also the assembling method thereof. Here the adapter presents a first adapter assembling feature (1a) and a second adapter assembling feature (1b). The nozzle structure (2) presents a first nozzle structure assembling feature (2a) and a second nozzle structure assembling feature (2b). The first adapter assembling feature and the first nozzle structure assembling feature are matched with each other to form a first connection in the form of pin-aperture between the adapter and the nozzle structure, and the nozzle structure and adapter are rotatably pre-assembled together when they are connected only be means of the first connection. The second adapter assembling feature and the second nozzle structure assembling feature are matched with each other to form a second connection in the form of snap fit between the adapter and the nozzle structure. The nozzle structure is secured to the adapter through the first connection and the second connection.

A windscreen wiper device includes a connecting device (1) for an oscillating arm. The oscillating arm can he pivotally connected to the connecting device (1) about a pivot axis near a free end of the oscillating arm, with the interposition of a joint part (2), wherein the joint part (2) is detachably connected to the connecting device (1) by engaging protrusions (10, 11) of the connecting device (1), at the location of the pivot axis (10, 11), in recesses (12, 13) provided in the joint part (2). The connecting device (1) and the joint part (2) are arranged to enable its connection to an oscillating arm of at least three types.

A process for the production of a coated rubber item, comprising: (i) provision of a semifinished product having the main shape of the rubber item, where the semifinished product is composed of a rubber composition comprising at least one rubber and at least one crosslinking agent; (ii) coating of the semifinished product with a solvent-free coating composition comprising at least one monomer amenable to free-radical polymerization, (iii) crosslinking of the rubber composition and polymerization of the coating composition, to give a coated rubber item;
wherein the boiling point of the at least one monomer amenable to free-radical polymerization is 150 C. and the crosslinking of the rubber composition takes place at the same time as the polymerization of the coating composition.

The invention relates to a cap A comprising a first portion 1 that is able to cover a first end of a wiper arm of a wiping system of a vehicle, and a second portion 2 comprising an attachment means for attaching the cap A to the driving arm, characterized in that this attachment means comprises at least one rotation zone 222 that is arranged so as to allow the cap A to rotate with respect to the driving arm, and a zone 223 for locking said cap A to said driving arm.

A wiper blade device with a holding unit (10) which is provided at least for holding a wiper strip (12), and with at least one end cap (14). The holding unit (10) has at least one vertical recess (16) for receiving the end cap (14) in a vertical direction (18).
