(14) cha It is proposed that the at least one wiper fluid duct (14) be made integral with the at least one coupling unit (16).
Multiple wiper blade system and assembly
A multiple windshield wiper assembly is disclosed. The multiple windshield wiper assembly may comprise a first wiper assembly having a squeegee blade; a second wiper assembly having a scraper blade, the second wiper assembly being coupled to the first wiper assembly by a windshield wiper assembly connector; wherein the scraper blade comprises an attachment surface for engaging a wiper assembly, a scraper surface for engaging a windshield, a channel for conducting wiper fluid, a plurality of apertures for disbursement of the wiper fluid onto a windshield, and a water connection fitting for connection of the scraper blade to a vehicle water supply hose. A number of embodiments of a windshield wiper assembly connector for use in connecting one or more windshield wiper assemblies to pin-type and hookslot-type wiper arms are also disclosed.
WIPER ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTING MEMBER FOR WIPER ASSEMBLY
There is provided a wiper assembly that includes a wiper blade and a wiper arm, and a connecting member for a wiper assembly, the wiper assembly and the connecting member being configured so that the appearance of the wiper assembly can be improved, and the work of connecting the wiper blade and the wiper arm can be facilitated. In a wiper assembly 1, a clip housing 28 is included in a blade housing section 27 of a wiper arm 2, and a wiper blade 3 and the wiper arm 2 are joined in a state where a clip member 4 is housed within the clip housing 28. Retention sections 29 are provided at lower edges 26A of side walls 26 on both sides of the wiper arm 2, and the clip member 4 is retained by fitting the retention sections 29 into cutout parts 44 of the clip member 4.
WIPER APPARATUS
A wiper apparatus which removes foreign matters from a windshield by rotating by a pivot of a vehicle may include an arm piece connected to one end of an arm retainer to connect a wiper blade, and a coupling portion having a step portion formed to extend along a longitudinal direction so that an upper surface of the arm piece and an upper surface of the arm retainer form a same surface when coupled to correspond to a coupling hole formed in the arm retainer.
YOKE FOR A DRIVE ARM OF A WINDSCREEN WIPER
Yoke (14a) for drive arm (14) of a wiper (12) of a windscreen wiper system (10) of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, said yoke including: a connecting part (30) of elongate general shape and including an interior longitudinal end (30a) intended to be connected to a drive means of the arm and an exterior longitudinal end (30b), a terminal part (28) of the arm forming a yoke for fixing it to said wiper, said terminal part having an elongate general shape and including an exterior longitudinal end (28b) and an interior longitudinal end (28a) that is intended to be situated on the side of said drive means,
characterized in that the exterior longitudinal end (30b) of said connecting part (30) is connected to said terminal part (28) in a zone (C) that is longitudinally spaced from said interior longitudinal end (28a) of the terminal part (28).
COMPOSITE WIPER ARMS
A wiper apparatus includes a wiper arm extending from a first wiper arm end to second wiper arm end. The wiper arm has an airfoil profile. The wiper arm includes a core having a lattice structure with shell extending around the lattice structure. A composite layer is formed around the core. The composite layer conforms to an outer surface of the shell. A method of making a wiper apparatus includes forming a core of a wiper arm with a lattice structure surrounded by a shell. The method includes depositing a layer of composite material on an outer surface of the shell.
Wiper apparatus
A wiper apparatus which removes foreign matters from a windshield by rotating by a pivot of a vehicle may include an arm piece connected to one end of an arm retainer to connect a wiper blade, and a coupling portion having a step portion formed to extend along a longitudinal direction so that an upper surface of the arm piece and an upper surface of the arm retainer form a same surface when coupled to correspond to a coupling hole formed in the arm retainer.
Windscreen wiper arm
A windscreen wiper arm, particularly for automobiles, includes a mounting head mountable on a drive shaft and an arm member pivotally connected to the mounting head by means of a pivot pin. The arm member has a substantially U-shaped cross-section near the pivot pin comprising two side walls. A part of the mounting head extends between the side walls and beyond the pivot pin. The part is provided with opposite surfaces each facing towards a respective side wall of the arm member. Each surface of the part of the mounting head is positioned spaced-apart from its respective side wall of the arm member, so as to allow paint to enter a space defined between each surface of the part of the mounting head and its respective side wall of the arm member.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
The wiper device includes a carrier element and a wiper blade with at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove the carrier element is disposed. The wiper device also includes a connecting device for pivotally connecting the wiper blade with an oscillating arm. The connecting device has spaced-apart sidewalls, each with a protrusion that extends sidewardly and outwardly. The connecting device and oscillating arm are interconnected by the protrusions pivotally and snappingly engaging into correspondingly shaped recesses of the oscillating arm. The oscillating arm has a guiding tongue engaging into a guiding groove of the connecting device. The connecting device has an asymmetric form with respect to its middle transverse plane, seen in vertical direction, in order to ensure that the wiper blade can only be mounted on the oscillating arm in a predetermined orientation of the wiper blade relative to the oscillating arm.
FASTENING DEVICE FOR A WINDSCREEN WIPING DEVICE
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.
