WIPER ADAPTER AND WIPER ASSEMBLY INCORPORATING THE SAME
An adapter for attaching to a wiper arm attachment member having a track defined by a base and walls depending therefrom, a bent tab extending outwardly from the base, and fins that extend from the walls. The adapter has a body with a first and second ends. A stop wall formed at the first end abuts the track. A pair of outer walls extend between the first and second ends. A strap connects the outer walls for engaging the base. A pair of inner walls are spaced laterally between the outer walls and are arranged at least partially under the strap. A cantilevered finger extends from each of the inner walls with a tab formed adjacent to the second end. The tabs extend away from each other and are arranged to engage respective fins to prevent movement between the adapter and the attachment member when the stop wall abuts the track.
ADVANCED ADAPTER FOR A WIPER BLADE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH AN ADAPTER
The invention proposes an adapter (26) for a windscreen wiper, having a body (25) which is delimited by two external lateral faces (29a, 29b) and which is configured to be mounted in a complementary yoke (28) of a wiper arm having a pair of front locking pegs (44a) and an abutment surface (39) which cooperate with associated parts of the adapter, each of the lateral faces of the adapter (26) having a front locking notch (59) which receives a front locking peg (44b), and wherein the adapter (26) is provided with a resilient branch (62) bearing an unlocking button (64) which cooperates with the abutment surface (39), characterized in that the resilient branch (62) extends longitudinally beyond a transverse end face (27b) of the body (25) of the adapter (26).
ADAPTER FOR A WIPER BLADE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH AN ADAPTER
The invention proposes an adapter (26) which is delimited by two external lateral faces and which is shaped so as to be mounted in a cap (28) of reverse U-shaped section, comprising a pair of front locking lugs (44a, 44b) which cooperate with the associated notches (59a, 59b) of the adapter (26) in order to fix the cap (28) to the adapter (26) in a dismantlable manner, each of the lateral faces (29a, 29b) of the body (25) of the adapter (26) comprising a front locking notch (59a, 59b), each thereof being capable of receiving an associated front locking lug (44a, 44b) of the cap (28), and the body (25) of the adapter (26) comprising rear locking notches which are arranged at one end of a resilient branch (62a, 62b) of the adapter.
Wiper blade adapter system
The invention relates to a wiper blade adapter system comprising a wiper blade adapter unit (10) having a coupling unit (18) and at least two connection units (12, 14, 16) that have different forms. According to the invention, the coupling unit (18) comprises a lateral plug-in unit that is provided for coupling to one of the at least two connection elements (12, 14, 16) in an assembly step.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DEVICE
The wiper device includes a wiper blade which extends in a longitudinal direction and at least one longitudinal strip that is pre-curved to have a curved shape when in a relaxed condition. The wiper device supports the wiper blade and biases the wiper blade into a curved shape. A connecting device is attached with the at least one longitudinal strip. The connecting device includes a two-piece base and a joint part which is pivotably connected with the two-piece base. The two-piece base includes a first piece, which is directly secured with the at least one longitudinal strip, and a second piece with laterally spaced apart side walls that are each J-shaped.
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 opposing longitudinal grooves on its longitudinal sides, in which grooves spaced-apart longitudinal strips of the carrier element are disposed, wherein neighbouring ends of the longitudinal strips are interconnected by a respective connecting piece, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating arm, wherein the oscillating arm is pivotally connected to the connecting device about a pivot axis near one end, with the interposition of a joint part, with the special feature that the joint part is detachable connected to the connecting device by engaging protrusions of the connecting device, at the location of the pivot axis, in recesses provided in the joint part, and wherein the protrusions are provided with co-axial through holes.
Connectors and connector kit for attachment of a windshield wiper blade to multiple types of windshield wiper arms
A kit for connecting a wiper blade and multiple types of wiper arms, the kit including a container and a set of connectors located within an interior of the container. The set of connectors includes a first connector having a structure to receive and be connected to at least two different wiper arms that are part of a first class of wiper arms. The set of connectors includes a second connector having a structure to receive and be connected to at least two different wiper arms that are part of a second class of wiper arms. The set of connectors includes a third connector having a structure to receive and be connected to at least two different wiper arms that are part of a third class of wiper arms, wherein the first class, the second class and the third class are different from one another.
Refillable Wiper Blade With Refill Subassembly
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.
Wiper blade assembly
Disclosed herein is a wiper blade assembly, including: an adaptor; and a cap member connected to a predetermined region of a front of the adaptor to rotate, wherein the cap member includes one or more hollows, the adaptor includes one or more pressing plates, and the cap member is rotated relative to the one or more pressing plates in a state where the one or more pressing plates are inserted in the one or more hollows. Since a wiper arm can be easily attached or detached by the rotation of the cap member, the wipe blade assembly can be easily attached to or detached from the wiper arm even by a beginner.
Wiper blade device
The invention relates to a wiper blade device (10a-f) comprising a base unit (12a-f) and an adapter unit (14a-f), which can be connected to a wiper arm and is fixed to the base unit (12a-f) in a form-fitting manner in at least one mounted state, wherein the base unit (12a-f) and the adapter unit (14a-f) have a form-fit connection in the mounted state, in which at least one of the units surrounds the other of the units, at least in part, in a form-fitting manner.
