The present invention relates to a windscreen wiper device (100) for a vehicle, with a fastening element (52), in particular to a motor vehicle. The windscreen wiper device (100) comprises a mounting element (40) which is designed to be mounted on the fastening element (52), and a wiper blade (2) with an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12), which are configured to be at least partially bendable. Furthermore, a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12) are provided, wherein the connecting elements (18) are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). The connecting elements (18) are designed to permit a movement of the upper part (10) and of the lower part (12) relative to one another with a movement component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). Furthermore, the wiper blade (2) comprises a wiper-blade-side fastening part (20). The wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) is configured in such a manner that, by means of a rotation of the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) relative to the mounting element (40), an engagement can be formed in order to connect the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) to the mounting element (40).

The connecting elements (18) are designed to enable a movement of the upper part (10) and the lower part (12) relative to one another with a movement component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). Furthermore, the wiper blade (2) comprises a wiper blade-side fastening part (20). The wiper blade fastening element (20) comprises a securing element (22) into which the fastening element (50) is insertable and which is designed to engage the fastening element (50) to force-fit or form-fit.

A wiper device includes a pivot shaft, a pivot holder, a water receiving cap and a washer. The pivot holder includes a pivot support portion and a mounting leg. The pivot support portion pivotally supports the pivot shaft. The water receiving cap includes a boss portion and an umbrella portion. The boss portion is fitted onto the pivot support portion. The washer is fixed to a circumference of the pivot shaft at a portion projecting from a distal end of the pivot support portion. At least part of the boss portion overlaps the washer in an axial direction. The umbrella portion includes a projection that projects in the axial direction. The projection opposes the mounting leg in a circumferential direction without engaging the mounting leg in the axial direction.

The invention proposes a wiper device for wiping a window of a motor vehicle, comprising a head of a wiper arm, a housing of a drive motor for driving the head of the wiper arm, a circulation channel for circulating cleaning liquid to the wiper, extending through the drive motor housing and the head of the wiper arm. The device enables a simpler definition of the liquid circulation channel.

The invention relates to a windscreen wiper device for a vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (2) having an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12) which are at least partially flexible. Also provided are multiple connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), the connecting elements being mutually spaced along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2) and being attached to the upper part (10) and/or the lower part (12) by a rotary joint, and the connecting elements (18) being designed to allow a movement of the upper part (10) and the lower part relative to each another with a movement component along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). The wiper blade (2) has a fastening arrangement (32) which is designed to be fitted into a hollow shaft (40) of a drive unit and to be connected thereto so to transmit a torque from the drive unit via the hollow shaft (40) and the fastening arrangement (32) to the wiper blade (2).

The invention relates to a drive device for a windscreen wiping device (1), comprising an electric drive motor (3) and a transmission (4) for driving an output shaft (5), said output shaft supporting the first wiper arm (6) and drives a transmission rod assembly (8) which actuates a second wiper arm (13). The invention relates to, in particular, the connection of the drive shaft to the transmission rod assembly.

A wiper arm for supporting a wiper blade includes a wiper arm head comprises a recessed splined cup portion having a plurality of angularly adjacent teeth about the internal circumference of the cup portion wherein the cup portion includes a slot. A complementary drive shaft includes a splined head having teeth for mating engagement with the teeth in the wiper arm head. In order to facilitate the alignment therebetween, an integral alignment key is received in the axially aligned slots. The alignment key further includes a lower notched end which abuts against a bottom radial lip of the splined head to prevent the key from moving axially in the slots. As such, the key and the splined head include complementary formations preventing the key from accidentally falling out of the slots.

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.
