The invention concerns an assembly (1) for producing a motor vehicle windscreen wiping system (3), including an end fitting (5) of a wiper arm (7) adapted to move a wiper (9) and a connection interface (11), notably a hydraulic and/or electrical connector for feeding a liquid to the wiper (9) and/or for heating the liquid or the wiper, said end fitting (5) being configured to accept an adapter (13) allowing rotation between said arm (7) and the wiper (9), said assembly (1) being adapted to occupy a working position in which said connection interface (11) is free relative to said end fitting (5) and a service position in which said connection interface (11) can be oriented relative to said end fitting (5), said end fitting (5) being configured to guide said connection interface (11) in the working position and in the service position.

Novel connectors for coupling wiper blades with arms are described, including those that. A wiper blade connector may include first and second side walls and a bridge defining an upper channel, as well as a passage for receiving a rivet or pin. The connector may also include a reinforcement portion which may be an extension of the side walls, include a portion overhanging into the upper channel, an outward extension projecting in a direction away from the upper channel, or resilient tabs on the inside of the channel. The connector may also include a support element, such as a truss member, which extends the upper channel. A lateral brace may also be provided between side walls.

The wiper device includes a wiper blade which extends in a longitudinal direction and at least one longitudinal strip that is pre-curved to have a curved shape when in a relaxed condition. The wiper device supports the wiper blade and biases the wiper blade into a curved shape. A connecting device is attached with the at least one longitudinal strip. The connecting device includes a two-piece base and a joint part which is pivotably connected with the two-piece base. The two-piece base includes a first piece, which is directly secured with the at least one longitudinal strip, and a second piece with laterally spaced apart side walls that are each J-shaped.

Device for locking a windshield wiper (10) to a drive arm (12), characterized in that it comprises electrical means (4) able to drive a reversible movement of at least one locking element (5) secured to the arm (12) or to the wiper (10), said at least one locking element (5) moving relative to the arm (12) or to the wiper (10) to which it is secured between an unlocked position in which said at least one locking element (5) is secured only to the arm (12) or to the wiper (10) and a locked position in which said at least one element (5) is secured to the arm (12) and to the wiper (10).

A windscreen wiper device comprising 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, wherein neighbouring ends of the longitudinal strips are interconnected by a respective connecting piece, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating arm, wherein the oscillating arm is pivotally connected to the connecting device about a pivot axis near one end, with the interposition of a joint part, with the special feature that the joint part is detachable connected to the connecting device by engaging protrusions of the connecting device, at the location of the pivot axis, in recesses provided in the joint part, and wherein the protrusions are provided with co-axial through holes.

A kit for connecting a wiper blade and multiple types of wiper arms, the kit including a container and a set of connectors located within an interior of the container. The set of connectors includes a first connector having a structure to receive and be connected to at least two different wiper arms that are part of a first class of wiper arms. The set of connectors includes a second connector having a structure to receive and be connected to at least two different wiper arms that are part of a second class of wiper arms. The set of connectors includes a third connector having a structure to receive and be connected to at least two different wiper arms that are part of a third class of wiper arms, wherein the first class, the second class and the third class are different from one another.

A wiper blade includes blade rubber, a holder body, and a clip. The clip is pivotally connected to the holder body. The clip has an elastic piece and an engagement protrusion. The engagement protrusion engages with an engagement hole provided in a wiper arm. The elastic piece section has a long piece section, a turned-back section, a first bending axis, and a second bending axis. The long piece section extends through a position to a side of the engagement protrusion. The turned-back section extends so as to change the direction of the long piece section in order to connect the front end of the long piece section to the engagement protrusion. The first bending axis and the second bending axis extend so that the engagement protrusion is located between the first bending axis and the second bending axis.

A connection arrangement to connect a wiper blade to a wiper arm is disclosed. A connection element includes an upper part formed to fasten the connection element to the wiper arm, on which upper part a lower part formed to hold a basic body of the wiper blade is mounted to be pivotable around a rotational axis. A slider encloses the wiper arm in an end region, where the slider is able to move along the wiper arm from an assembly position into a functional position securing the connection element. A securing element prevents a movement of the slider into the assembly position during a pivot movement of the lower part around the rotational axis by a first value and allows the movement of the slider into the assembly position if the lower part is pivoted by a second value which is greater than the first value.
