A reclosable package for an article may include a base with a planar floor defining an article-retaining cavity and raised sidewalls extending about the perimeter forming part of the article-retaining cavity with a cover with raised sidewalls coupled to the base configured to move between an open position and a closed position. The sidewalls may form a double wall about the perimeter of the base with a channel that remains open when the cover is disposed in the closed position. A plurality of projections extending from at least one sidewall of at least one of the cover and base and a plurality of notches in at least one sidewall of at least one of the cover and base keep the cover closed as the projections insert into the notches with a snap fit engagement.

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 device for packaging a wiper blade for a windshield wiping system of a motor vehicle including a flexurally stiff container as well as at least one insert, which is able to be inserted into the container together with the wiper blade. The device includes at least two inserts, developed essentially having mirror symmetry, for accommodating each of an end section of the wiper blade, each insert having at least one accommodation region for accommodating a spring-elastic carrier element and/or a wiper lip of the wiper blade, an accommodation region provided for accommodating the wiper lip being oversized compared to the dimensions of the wiper lip, so that the wiper lip is able to be accommodated in such a way that a sensitive wiping edge of the wiper lip has no contact with the insert.

A system provided with a windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove a longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, wherein ends of the wiper blade and/or of the longitudinal strip are interconnected by a respective connecting piece, the carrier element biasing the wiper blade in a curved position, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for pivotally connecting an oscillating wiper arm thereto; a holder for holding the windscreen wiper device; with the special feature that the holder comprises a stiff tightening profile engaging the windscreen wiper device at engaging locations on the connecting device for tightening the windscreen wiper device in a less curved position.

A protector for a windshield wiper assembly includes an elongated body defining a cavity receiving at least the blade of the wiper assembly. The cover is used to protect the assembly from snow, ice, mud, etc. Preferably, the assembly is pivoted away from the windshield before the blade is inserted into the body. Caps with decorative covers are provided at the ends of the body. The body may be made of a translucent material and may be covered with logos, insignia and other advertising materials.

A packaging for a windscreen wiper blade, comprising a front face, a rear face, an assembly flap extending from one of said front and rear faces and configured to be permanently attached to the other of said front and rear faces, said front face and rear face being laminated to each other at at least one of a first longitudinal extremity and a second longitudinal extremity, forming a tab.

The windshield wiper cover is adapted for use with windshield wipers. The windshield wiper cover is a container within which the windshield wiper is stored during inclement weather such that ice and dirt do not build up on the windshield wiper when the vehicle is not in use. The windshield wiper cover is a structure that is formed in the shape of an irregular prism. In a first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the windshield wiper cover comprises a tray and a top cap. In a second potential embodiment of the disclosure, the tray and top cap are combined into a single unit.

The present invention relates to a device for supporting a pair of wiper blades (12, 26; 13, 27), comprising first and second supporting grooves (14, 28), each of which is provided with a means for retaining at least one laterally extending structural element (22; 54) of two respective blades (12, 26; 13, 27) by resilient nesting. According to the invention, the supporting grooves (14, 28) are arranged side by side with a common wall, the supporting grooves having two respective openings leading into parallel and offset planes (R1, R2), the second supporting groove (28) being arranged above the first supporting groove (14) and having a substantially flared shape, wherein said openings belong to a single side of the supporting device. The present invention also relates to a supporting assembly comprising a plurality of supporting devices, and to a corresponding mounting method.

A blank for manufacturing a packaging device for at least one windshield wiper blade is disclosed. The blank is of elongate shape and comprises at least the first and second adjacent longitudinal zones. Each of the at least first and second longitudinal zones is configured to form a longitudinal face of the packaging device. The first and second longitudinal zones are respectively articulated at each of their ends to first and second end zones via a transverse fold line. The first and second end zones are able to form respectively first and second substantially transverse flaps of the packaging device. The longitudinal length of the first end zone is greater than that of the second end zone and the first flap is configured to be formed before the second flap.
