A connector assembly and wiper blade incorporating same having a base connector, having two longitudinal side walls, a first and second end, and a top surface extending therebetween, wherein the top surface has a pair of cantilevered beams, each provided with a locking tab, extending from a central portion towards each respective end of the base connector. The locking tabs are capable of engaging and securing an aperture in cap or wiper arm. The base connector further has a central recessed portion capable of receiving and securing a top wall of a side adapter. The base connector may further include a base support structure capable of securing the base connector to a wiper blade.

The invention relates to a hydraulic connector, particularly for a motor vehicle windscreen wiper system. The connector is designed to be mounted on a wiper blade fitted with a perforated pipe carrying cleaning and de-icing fluid, and comprises at least one inlet coupling suitable for connection to a fluid feed, and at least one distributor provided with at least one outlet coupling designed to be connected to the perforated pipe. The connector also includes at least one internal path for carrying the fluid from the inlet coupling to the distributor. Thus, by means of the presence of the internal path through the connector, the inlet coupling can be positioned at various locations on the connector, without feeding directly into the distributor.

A wiper blade assembly comprises a blade having upper and lower major surfaces, a wiper element extending from the lower major surface of the blade, a connector mounted on the upper major surface of the blade, and spoilers extending from opposite sides of the connector. The spoilers and the connector ore configured to positively engage each other. The spoiler includes a slice which will form a tear in the spoiler should the spoiler be moved axially relative to the connector to at least discourage reattachment of the spoiler should the spoiler be removed. The connector is a connector assembly comprising a connector base mountable to the blade of the wiper and an adapter which is separate from the connector base. The adapter is removably mountable to the connector base. Several different adapters are disclosed to allow the wiper assembly to be connected to different types of vehicle wiper arms.

A windscreen wiper device includes an elongated wiper blade, a spoiler, and a connector assembly. The spoiler is coupled to and extends between opposite ends along the longitudinal length of the wiper blade. The connector assembly is operably attached to the spoiler and detachably connects the windscreen wiper device to an oscillating wiper arm adapted to oscillate the wiper blade along the surface of a curved windshield of a vehicle.

A wiper blade assembly for a windshield wiper. In one embodiment, the wiper blade assembly includes a connector mounted on a blade support element. The connector has a receiving portion shaped to receive a first part of the end portion of a wiper arm and further has a securing portion shaped to secure a second part of the end portion of the wiper arm.

The invention concerns a motor vehicle wiper 3 including at least one wiper fastened to at least one device 14 for stiffening the wiper and to which is fixed at least a mechanical connector 15 adapted to connect the wiper 3 to an arm, the wiper 3 including at least one element 8 in which there is provided at least one conduit 9 adapted to channel a liquid, and a hydraulic connector 13 in communication at least with the conduit 9 and immediately adjacent the mechanical connector 15, characterized in that the hydraulic connector 13 includes fastening means 16 engaged at least with the stiffening device 14.

A windshield wiper system (100) includes a pivoting wiper arm (110); a wiper blade (120) for wiping a surface (102); and a connector assembly (128) coupling the pivoting wiper arm (110) to the wiper blade (120), the connector assembly (128) comprising a gear drive (130) including at least one drive gear (132) and at least one positioning cog (136), wherein the gear drive (130) rotates the wiper blade (120) based on an angular position of the pivoting wiper arm (110) such that an arc of a motion path (320) of the wiper blade (120) is reduced.

A replaceable blade wiper system for easy, economical, and eco-friendly windshield wiper blade replacement includes a wiper housing comprising a pair of rails and a pair of holding units. The pair of holding units secures the pair of rails parallel to one another and forms a channel between the pair of rails that extends from a left side to a right side of each of the pair of rails. A wiper blade is removably coupled to the wiper housing. The wiper blade slides within the channel. The wiper blade extends from proximal the left side to proximal the right side of the pair of rails.
