A windscreen wiper device for cleaning a windshield of a vehicle is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper strip extending in a longitudinal direction between opposite wiper strip ends, and the wiper strip is of a flexible material such as rubber for sealing against the windshield. At least one carrier element is disposed in the grooves and extends in a longitudinal direction between opposite carrier element ends. The windscreen wiper device further includes a frame structure including a plurality of claws in sliding engagement with the carrier element or elements and wherein the frame structure extends longitudinally past the ends of the wiper strip and the carrier element or elements. The frame structure includes a pair of flange portions that restrict the movement of the carrier element and the wiper strip relative to the frame structure.

Heating device (20) that is able to be mounted on a support frame of a windscreen wiper, the heating device (20) having a vertebra (24) that is able to be mounted longitudinally inside the housing in the support frame; at least one heating element (25) disposed on the vertebra (24); an electrical connector (26) comprising an electrical connection device; characterized in that the heating device (20) comprises an electrically conductive protruding element (28) in electrical contact with the heating element (25), and in that the heating device (20) is able to prevent the electrical connection device (27) from coming into contact with the heating element (25) before the vertebra (24) is in its final mounted position; and to bring the electrical connection device (27) and the protruding element (28) into contact when the vertebra (24) is in its final mounted position.

A windscreen wiper device includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes opposing longitudinal grooves on its longitudinal sides, in which grooves spaced-apart longitudinal strips of the carrier element are disposed. Neighbouring ends of the longitudinal strips are interconnected respective connecting pieces. The connecting piece comprises engaging members engaging around the longitudinal strips, wherein the strips and the connecting piece are slidably connected by means of a snap connection. At least one pin extending in a direction perpendicular o the windscreen to be wiped engages the wiper blade at a location of a hole in one of the longitudinal strips to block longitudinal movement of the wiper blade relative to the strip in a longitudinal direction thereof away from the connecting piece.

Longitudinal structural element (30a) for a windscreen wiper (10), in particular of a motor vehicle, said structural element having a non-metallic main body, characterized in that said main body comprises at least one part (39) made of a thermally conductive material or covered with a non-metallic thermally conductive material.

A windscreen wiper arm (1), comprising a mounting head (2) mountable on a drive shaft (3) and a first arm member (4) at one end thereof being pivotally connected to the mounting head (2) by means of a pivot pin (8) and at another end thereof being rigidly connected to a second arm member (5) arranged to be connected to an elongated wiper blade (6) to be placed in abutment with the windscreen to be wiped. The first (4) and said second (5) arm members can oscillate to-and-from between a first reversal position and a second reversal position. The second arm member (5) is made in one piece and has a substantially U-shaped cross-section defining a housing between a base and legs of said U-shaped cross-section. The housing is arranged to accommodate at least one channel (14, 15) for a washing liquid and/or electricity wiring.

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 windscreen wiper device includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes opposing longitudinal grooves on its longitudinal sides, in which grooves spaced-apart longitudinal strips of the carrier element are disposed. Neighboring ends of the longitudinal are interconnected by a respective connecting piece. Also included is a connecting device for an oscillating wiper arm. The connecting piece comprises engaging members engaging around the longitudinal strips, wherein the strips and the connecting piece are slidably connected by means of a snap connection. At least one pin extending in a direction perpendicular to the windscreen to be wiped engages the wiper blade at a location of a hole in one of the longitudinal strips.
