A wiper blade assembly for a windshield wiper. In one embodiment, the wiper blade assembly includes a connector mounted on a blade support element. The connector has a receiving portion shaped to receive a first part of the end portion of a wiper arm and further has a securing portion shaped to secure a second part of the end portion of the wiper arm.

The invention relates to a connecting device (8) intended to join a wiper blade (4) to a driving arm (2) of a wiping system (1) for a vehicle, comprising at least one connector (9) and a cover (11) mounted in a rotatable manner on the connector (9), the connecting device (8) comprising at least one holding device (22) for holding the cover (11) on the connector (9) in at least one position, characterized in that the holding device (22) determines the position of the cover (11) on the connector (9), limiting the rotation of this cover (11) on the connector (9) in two directions of rotation (S1, S2).

A streamlined flat windscreen wiper for a vehicle is disclosed. The flat wiper includes a longitudinal wiper blade, at least one longitudinal stiffening member, a longitudinal member for retaining the wiper blade and the stiffening member, a longitudinal streamlined portion comprising two terminal caps and a central mounting extending between the terminal caps and being connected thereto. The mounting includes means for fixing to the stiffening member or to the member for retaining the stiffening member, and each cap includes means for guiding in translation terminal parts of the member.

A refillable wiper blade (36) including a refill subassembly (38) and a coupler (48) adapted for releasable attachment thereto. The refill subassembly includes a wiping element (42), an elongated spline (44) supporting the element, and a retention clip (46) operatively attached to the spline. The clip has a body (58) and an upwardly-biased cantilevered finger (60) extending from the body. The coupler has a first end (62A) shaped to receive the body of the clip, and a relief (64) defined adjacent to the first end and shaped to accommodate the finger of the clip. The refill subassembly and the coupler cooperate such that predetermined movement of the coupler with respect to the refill subassembly brings the body into engagement with the first end of the coupler such that the finger deflects downwardly until subsequent movement of the coupler along the spline releases the finger upwardly and into the relief of the coupler thereby securing the refill subassembly to the coupler.

The invention relates to an adapter unit which is provided for coupling, in particular releasably coupling, a wiper blade to a wiper arm, having a wind deflecting surface which is designed to deflect inflowing air and press the wiper blade against a vehicle windshield. According to the invention, the wind deflecting surface has at least one first sub-surface and a second sub-surface, wherein the first sub-surface has a different orientation than the second sub-surface and/or the first sub-surface has a different geometry than the second sub-surface.

The invention relates to an adapter (15) intended for connecting a wiper blade to an end portion (23) of a drive arm, including a first wall (16) and a second wall (19), the first wall (16) and the second wall (19) being interconnected by at least one linking wall (22), characterised in that the linking wall (22) intersects a median longitudinal plane (P2) of the adapter (15), and in that the first wall (16) has a first length (L1) which is greater than a second length (L2) of the second wall (19), the first length (L1) and the second length (L2) being measured according to straight lines parallel to the median longitudinal plane (P2), and in that the first wall (16) is provided with a means (33) for locking and/or unlocking the adapter (15) on the end portion (23).

Device (60) for connecting a windscreen wiper blade to a drive arm, comprising: a connector (24) that is designed to be rigidly connected to said blade and that includes first articulation means (38), an adapter (12) that is designed to be rigidly connected to said arm and that includes second articulation means (42) that are designed to cooperate with said first articulation means in order to form a first pivot axis (Y) between the adapter and the connector, which is a pivot axis between said blade and said arm, and a cover (62) that is designed to be attached to the connector, said cover being moveable from a first position in which the cover enables said adapter to be connected to said arm, and a second position in which the cover locks said connection.

The invention relates to an adapter (9) for connecting a windscreen wiper blade (1) to a drive arm (3) of a wiper system, said adapter (9) being configured to be connected to a connector (8) with a degree of freedom in pivoting about an axis of articulation, said connector (8) being fixed to the blade (1), said adapter (9) comprising means for keeping in a nominal position of immobilization on the arm, said adapter (9) being configured to be immobilized, in a direction known as the direction of retraction, situated in a plane perpendicular to the axis of articulation, in a safety position, should said retaining means (20) fail. According to the invention, the adapter (9) is configured to be guided by the arm (3) in a translational movement, in said direction of retraction, from said nominal position to said safety position and/or to have a direction of deliberate disengagement from the arm starting from a position located between the two, nominal and safety positions. The invention also relates to an attachment device and to a wiper system comprising such an adapter.

A wiper device having a wiper blade adapter unit (10a-10i) which is provided for a releasable coupling of a wiper blade (12a-12i) to a wiper arm adapter unit (14a-14i) and which comprises at least one wiper blade adapter base member (16a-16i) which is able to be fixedly connected to the wiper blade (12a-12i). The wiper device comprises an adapter wind deflector unit (18a-18i) which is provided to deflect incident air and to press the wiper blade (12a-12i) against a vehicle windscreen (20a).

Cowling for a cowled flat windscreen wiper blade, in particular for a vehicle, the cowling being elongate and having a central mounting (2) and two end covers (3), at least one of the covers (3) being provided with two longitudinal side walls (3a, 3b) that are linked by an upper longitudinal edge (3c), said mounting (2) being positioned between the two covers (3) and assembled with each cover (3), the cowling being characterized in that said mounting (2) has lateral retaining means (7) cooperating with the lateral retaining means (6a, 6b) of at least one of the two side walls (3a, 3b) in order to limit a lateral deformation of said at least one of the two side walls (3a, 3b).
