The invention is applicable to motor vehicles.

The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper element and a carrier element. The windscreen wiper device also includes a connecting device which has a base and a joint part. The joint part has a top wall that extends in a lateral direction between a pair of side walls. The joint part also includes a button configuration for lockingly attaching the connecting device with at least two different types of oscillating wiper arms. The button configuration includes a first button and a second button. The button configuration also includes a pin that is spaced below the top wall and that extends in the lateral direction between the side walls. The first button is attached with the pin on one longitudinal side of the pin, and the second button is attached with the pin on an opposite longitudinal side of the pin.

A wiper blade with a modular mounting base, having a wiper strip and a primary frame. The primary frame may be provided with a recessed portion having a base portion, a proximal end and a distal end, and may further be provided with a projection disposed on the proximal end, and with receiving holes on the base portion. The primary frame is capable of securing a mounting base having a bottom, a proximal end and a distal end such that one or more locking legs descending from the bottom of the mounting base can engage the receiving holes in the bottom portion of the primary frame, and such that the projection on the proximal portion of the recessed portion engages a guiding channel on the proximal end of the mounting base.

A windscreen wiper device is provided comprising a carrier element, and a wiper blade. The device comprises a connecting device pivotally and detachably connected to a joint part. The joint part comprises at least one resilient tongue to engage a hole provided in the oscillating arm. The resilient tongue is hingeable and comprises a first step to abut an edge of the hole of an oscillating arm of a first type and a second step to abut an edge of the hole of an oscillating arm of a second type. The joint part comprises at least one stepped profile to block longitudinal movement of the oscillating arm of the first type in a direction towards the free end of the joint part and to block longitudinal movement of the oscillating arm of the second type in a direction towards the free end of the joint part.

The windscreen wiper device includes a longitudinally extending wiper element that is made of an elastomeric material. A carrier element, which includes at least one pre-curved longitudinal strip, operably supports the wiper element. The wiper device also includes a connector device with a first piece and with a second piece. A joint part is also provided, and the joint part is connectable with the second piece of the connector device and is configured for attachment with an oscillating wiper arm. The second piece includes a pair of prongs which extend through aligned openings in the first piece and the at least one longitudinal strip. Ends of the prongs are plastically deformed to lock the first and second pieces of the connector device with the at least one pre-curved longitudinal strip.

The invention relates to an intermediate piece 101 intended to be interposed between a connector 8 that is able to carry a wiper and a connecting element 203 of a driving arm, the connector 8 comprising at least one receiving bearing 15 for receiving a first shaft 102, the connecting element 203 comprising at least one receiving orifice 215 for receiving a second shaft 103, characterized in that the intermediate piece 101 is equipped with the first shaft 102 and the second shaft 103. Application to motor vehicles.

The wiper device includes a carrier element and a wiper blade with at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove the carrier element is disposed. The wiper device also includes a connecting device for pivotally connecting the wiper blade with an oscillating arm. The connecting device has spaced-apart sidewalls, each with a protrusion that extends sidewardly and outwardly. The connecting device and oscillating arm are interconnected by the protrusions pivotally and snappingly engaging into correspondingly shaped recesses of the oscillating arm. The oscillating arm has a guiding tongue engaging into a guiding groove of the connecting device. The connecting device has an asymmetric form with respect to its middle transverse plane, seen in vertical direction, in order to ensure that the wiper blade can only be mounted on the oscillating arm in a predetermined orientation of the wiper blade relative to the oscillating arm.

The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper element and a carrier element. The windscreen wiper device also includes a connecting device which has a base and a joint part. The joint part has a top wall that extends in a lateral direction between a pair of side walls. The joint part also includes a button configuration for lockingly attaching the connecting device with at least two different types of oscillating wiper arms. The button configuration includes a first button and a second button. The button configuration also includes a pin that is spaced below the top wall and that extends in the lateral direction between the side walls. The first button is attached with the pin on one longitudinal side of the pin, and the second button is attached with the pin on an opposite longitudinal side of the pin.

The invention proceeds from a top-lock wiper blade adapter for coupling a wiper blade to a corresponding top-lock wiper arm adapter (10), having at least one main body (12) and at least one locking element (14) which is provided for locking the main body (12) to the top-lock wiper arm adapter (10). It is proposed that the top-lock wiper blade adapter has a blocking unit (16), which comprises at least one engagement element (18, 20) which engages at least partially over at least one inner abutment surface (22, 24) of the main body (12) and is provided to avoid the locking of a top-lock wiper arm adapter (26) which deviates from the corresponding top-lock wiper arm adapter (10) in terms of width (28).

The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper blade that is made of an elastomeric material and extends in a longitudinal direction. The windscreen wiper device also includes a joint part with a U-shaped cross-section that includes a top wall and a pair of side walls. At least one of the side walls has a spring loaded interference finger which projects outwardly for engaging an inner surface of a wiper arm to reduce side to side play between the joint part and the wiper arm.
