The invention concerns a wiper device (1) comprising: a driving arm (7) configured to transmit a wiping movement and having a longitudinal end (8), a windscreen wiper (3), a fixing device (5) disposed between the longitudinal end (8) of the arm (7) and the windscreen wiper (3), wherein the wiper (3) is equipped with at least one electrical element (23), characterized in that the longitudinal end (8) of the arm (7) is equipped with a sending coil (27) and in that the wiper (3) is equipped at the level of the fixing device (5) with a receiving coil (29), the cooperation of the sending coil (27) with the receiving coil (29) enabling supply of power to said electrical element (23) by magnetic induction.

The invention relates to an adapter 9 designed to be interposed between a connector 8 and an end portion of a drive arm, the adapter 9 including a first attachment member 32 designed to cooperate with a second attachment member 72 of the connector 8, the first attachment member 32 having at least one attachment wall arranged in a longitudinal plane of the adapter 9 and that bears a pivot shaft Ad of the connector 8, characterized in that the attachment wall has at least one recess 38c designed to receive a stiffening rib 70 of the connector 8.

A wiper apparatus having an improved structure between a wiper arm tip and a vertebra includes a vertebra having a rod shape and providing elastic resilience to a wiper strip, a connector fixed to the vertebra; and a wiper arm detachably coupled to the connector. The position of the vertebra is above a lower end of an arm tip formed on a free end portion of the wiper arm.

A wiper arm for use with a wiper blade, which is mechanically and detachably connectable to the wiper arm and to a wiper arm adapter by joining in an assembly direction using a wiper blade adapter, includes an electrical connecting element, disposed on a wiper arm side of the wiper blade adapter, configured to reversibly establish a connection to a second electrical connecting element on a wiper blade side of the wiper blade adapter. The connection between the electrical connecting element and the second electrical connecting element is formed along the assembly direction. The electrical connecting element and the second electrical connecting element are mounted floating. The electrical connecting element and the second electrical connecting element are mounted deflectable in a spatial plane oriented crossways to the assembly direction.
