Wiper blade and wiper arm
A wiper blade for cleaning a vehicle windscreen having a carrier element configured to hold a wiper rubber is disclosed. A wiper blade adapter, fixed to the carrier element, is configured to detachably connect the wiper blade to a wiper arm. The wiper arm includes a wiper arm adapter disposed on the wiper arm that is oriented along a longitudinal extension of the wiper arm in an assembly direction. The wiper blade adapter includes a first adapter section attached to the carrier element, a second adapter section configured to directly connect to the wiper arm adapter, and indirectly connect to the wiper arm via the wiper arm adapter, a joint that articulates the first adapter section and the second adapter section, and an electrical connecting element having an electrical contact configured to reversibly establish an electrical connection between a heating element and a current supply disposed on the wiper arm.
WIPER AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME
A wiper for a motor vehicle according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a blade having an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion has an increased thermal conductivity relative to the outer portion, and the outer portion is softer than the inner portion. A method is also disclosed.
Flat wiper blade
Flat wiper blade for windscreen wiper modules, having a wiper blade body, which presents at least one wiping rubber (12) forming at least on e wiping lip (12.1), presents at least one spring rail (11) in addition to at least one retaining strip (10) on which the wiping rubber (12) is held and which (retaining strip (10)) possesses at least one profile section designed as a hollow profile, in which at least a partial length of the spring rail (11) is accommodated, wherein at least one heating foil (19) is arranged over at least a partial length together with the at least one spring rail (11) in the profile section (10.1) of the retaining strip (10).
Assembly for producing a motor vehicle windscreen wiping system and connection device including such an assembly
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.
Flat wiper blade
Flat wiper blade for use in windscreen wiper modules of vehicles, essentially consisting of a wiping rubber in addition to two spring rails, extending in the longitudinal direction of the wiper blade, spaced apart from one another and receiving the wiping rubber in a subsection between them, which each respectively project over the wiping rubber on the wiper blade longitudinal sides and with at least one jet or injection strip provided on one longitudinal side of the wiper blade, having at least one injection or washing duct with a large number of jet or injection openings for application of a washing and cleaning fluid to a vehicle windscreen and which, with use of clip-like fixtures spanning the wiper blade on the upper side of the wiper blade, is retained on the external peripheries of the spring rails.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
A windscreen wiper device (1) of the flat blade type, includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade (2) of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove (3), in which groove at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed. A connecting device is provided for an oscillating arm. An electrically conductive coating (12) is provided on at least a part of the flexible material of the wiper blade along at least a portion of its length in order to transfer electrically generated heat to the wiper blade upon applying a voltage to the electrically conductive coating.
Heated windshield wiper system
A heated windshield wiper system includes a vehicle has a wiper motor and a windshield. The wiper motor is electrically coupled to the vehicle. A pair of windshield wipers is provided and each of the windshield wipers is movably coupled to the vehicle. Each of the windshield wipers is operationally coupled to the wiper motor. The wiper motor selectively urges each of the windshield wipers across the windshield. Thus, each of the windshield wipers may clear the windshield. A heating unit is coupled to each of the windshield wipers. The heating unit is electrically coupled to the wiper motor. The heating unit selectively heats each of the windshield wipers. Thus, each of the windshield wipers may melt snow and ice from the windshield.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
A windscreen wiper device (1) of the flat blade type, includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade (2) of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove (3), in which groove at least one longitudinal strip (4) of the carrier element is disposed. A connecting device (6) for an oscillating arm (7), is pivotally connected about a pivot axis near one end thereof. An electrically conductive coating (12) is provided on at least a part of the longitudinal strip along at least a portion of its length in order to transfer electrically generated heat to the wiper blade upon applying a voltage to the electrically conductive coating.
Wiper blade having secure means for locking to a drive arm, and wiper assembly having such a wiper blade
A wiper blade (12) is disclosed having a support connector (18) for at least one wiper rubber (14), an adapter (20) that is able to take a front-end terminal part (10) of a drive arm of the wiper blade (12) which is mounted so as to be articulated with respect to the connector (18), about an articulation axis (A), between a working position and a maintenance position, and which has a locking member (32) for locking said terminal part (10) to the adapter (20), which is mounted so as to be movable between a locking position and a retracted position releasing said terminal part (10). The wiper blade (12) has a member (68, 38) for immobilizing the locking member (32) in the locking position when the adapter (20) is in the working position, and for releasing the locking member (32) when the adapter (20) is in the maintenance position.
Wiper device
