Windscreen wiper device
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 at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating arm, wherein said oscillating arm is pivotally connected to said connecting device about a pivot axis near one end thereof, with the interposition of a joint part, wherein said wiper blade comprises a spoiler at a side thereof facing away from the windscreen to be wiped, characterized in that a free end of said spoiler, facing towards an A-pillar of the windscreen to be wiped, is provided with a beveled surface, seen from the windscreen to be wiped.
RUBBER WIPER BLADE ELEMENT WITH FRICTION REDUCING AGENT THAT CONTINUOUSLY MIGRATES TO THE SURFACE
A windscreen wiper device is provided including a longitudinally extending wiper strip of a flexible material. At least one carrier of a spring-like material operatively supports and biases the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration. The windscreen wiper device further includes a connecting device for connection with a wiper arm. The flexible material is formed of flexible material, such as rubber, with a friction reducing agent consisting of at least one amide distributed homogeneously throughout the flexible material. Upon vulcanization, a portion of the friction reducing agent migrates to an outer surface of the flexible material to form a friction reducing film having hydrophobic properties. The friction reducing film provides a low friction interface between the flexible material and a windshield under wet and dry conditions. The low friction minimizes the load on the wiper device and thus extends the life of the wiper device.
Window-wiping device for a vehicle, production method of a window-wiping device and modular kit for producing a window-wiping device
The invention relates to a window-wiping device (2; 28, 30; 74; 78) for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The window-wiping device (2; 28, 30; 74; 78) comprises an elongated upper part (10), which is at least partially bendable, an elongated lower part (12), which is at least partially bendable, and a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), wherein the connecting elements (18) are spaced apart along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2), wherein the connecting elements (18) are designed to enable motion of the upper part (10) and the lower part in relation to each other having a motion component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2), wherein the connecting elements are connected to the lower part (12) and the upper part (10) by means of rotational joints, and wherein the upper part and the lower part are connected to a connection piece.
Rubber wiper blade element with friction reducing agent that continuously migrates to the surface
A windscreen wiper device is provided including a longitudinally extending wiper strip of a flexible material. At least one carrier of a spring-like material operatively supports and biases the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration. The windscreen wiper device further includes a connecting device for connection with a wiper arm. The flexible material is formed of flexible material, such as rubber, with a friction reducing agent consisting of at least one amide distributed homogeneously throughout the flexible material. Upon vulcanization, a portion of the friction reducing agent migrates to an outer surface of the flexible material to form a friction reducing film having hydrophobic properties. The friction reducing film provides a low friction interface between the flexible material and a windshield under wet and dry conditions. The low friction minimizes the load on the wiper device and thus extends the life of the wiper device.
PACKAGING DEVICE FOR A WINDSCREEN WIPER COMPRISING A CURVED BLADE AND AN INTEGRATED FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE
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.
DEFLECTOR AND WIPER BLADE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present invention concerns a deflector (2; 20) for a wiper blade (1; 10) for a motor vehicle, made from a flexible material characterised in that it is split longitudinally by a groove (11; 110) communicating with a longitudinal cavity (8; 80) of the deflector (2; 20) in such a way as to form two half-foil members (2a, 2b; 20a, 20b) that can assume a deformed position in which the deformed half-foil members (2a, 2b; 20a, 20b) increase the deflection surface area of the deflector (2; 20). The present invention also concerns a wiper blade (1; 10) comprising such a deflector (2; 20).
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.
