A windshield wiper connector having a peripheral wall having at least two opposing peripheral side walls, a top surface extending from one of the two opposing peripheral side walls to the other; and a channel formed in the top surface, and extending longitudinally along the top of the connector. The connector including a groove near to the proximal end of the connector and sized to be capable of engaging a trapezoidal roller of a wiper arm. The opposing peripheral side walls having a retaining pin aperture aligned with one another and sized to be capable of accepting a retaining pin of at least one pin-type windshield wiper arm. The channel on the top of the connector sized to be capable of accepting a bayonet style wiper arm. A wiper blade assembly having a wiper strip, a force distribution structure, and a connector as described above.

The invention relates to a wiper device (10) comprising a wiper blade adapter (12) having at least one first wiper blade adapter element (14) and at least one second wiper blade adapter element (16), which mounted such that it can pivot relative to the first wiper blade adapter element (14) in at least one mounted state, and comprising a wiper arm adapter (18), which is coupled to the second wiper blade adapter element (16) in the mounted state. According to the invention, the wiper blade adapter (12) has a security unit (20), which is provided to allow a removal of the wiper arm adapter (18) from the wiper blade adapter (12) exclusively in at least one removal pivot position of the wiper arm adapter (18) relative to the first wiper blade adapter element (14).

A windshield wiper connector having a peripheral wall having at least two opposing peripheral side walls, a top surface extending from one of the two opposing peripheral side walls to the other; and a channel formed in the top surface, and extending longitudinally along the top of the connector. The connector including a groove near to the proximal end of the connector and sized to be capable of engaging a trapezoidal roller of a wiper arm. The opposing peripheral side walls having a retaining pin aperture aligned with one another and sized to be capable of accepting a retaining pin of at least one pin-type windshield wiper arm. The channel on the top of the connector sized to be capable of accepting a bayonet style wiper arm.
