A wiper blade suitable to three types of wiper arms. A connector assembly of the wiper blade is detachably connected to wiper arms having first to third coupling units at a distal end respectively. The connector assembly has an adaptor and a slide cover slidably joined to the adaptor. The slide cover is moved to the adaptor in a first movement direction to fix the first to third coupling units to the adaptor and is moved from the adaptor in a second movement direction opposite to the first movement direction to release fixation between the coupling units and the adaptor. The adaptor has a support protrusion supporting support surfaces of the first to third coupling units. The slide cover has a push surface contacting the contact surfaces of the first to third coupling units to push the first to third coupling units towards the support protrusion of the adaptor.

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (100) for a vehicle, having a fastening element (32) and a mounting unit (110) configured to be mounted to the fastening element (32), wherein the mounting unit (110) has a first engagement means (116). The windshield wiper device (100) comprises a wiper blade (2) having a longitudinal extension (8), wherein on the wiper blade side, the wiper blade (2) is provided with a fastening part (120) having a second engagement means (124). The mounting unit (110) and the fastening part (120) on the wiper blade side can be inserted into each other, at least partially, by a movement substantially along the longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). The first engagement means (116) and the second engagement means (124) are designed to engage with one another, whenever the mounting unit (110) and the fastening part (120) on the wiper blade side are inserted into each other. The engagement between the first engagement means (116) of the mounting unit (110) and the second engagement means (124) of the fastening part (120) on the wiper blade side can be released.

The windshield wiper device (100) further comprises at least one locking means that is designed to lock the mounting unit (110) and the fastening part (120) on the wiper blade side together in order to prevent a movement of the wiper blade (2) substantially along the longitudinal extension (8) thereof.

A connector assembly and wiper blade incorporating same having a base connector, having two longitudinal side walls, a first and second end, and a top surface extending therebetween, wherein the top surface has a pair of cantilevered beams, each provided with a locking tab, extending from a central portion towards each respective end of the base connector. The locking tabs are capable of engaging and securing an aperture in cap or wiper arm. The base connector further has a central recessed portion capable of receiving and securing a top wall of a side adapter. The base connector may further include a base support structure capable of securing the base connector to a wiper blade.

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 present invention relates to an adapter (1) for a wiper system (6), comprising at least a side wall (10) and an upper wall (12) having at least one common edge between them, the side wall (10) and the upper wall (12) helping to define an inner volume of the adapter (1), the adapter (1) comprising a first inner wall (20) and a second inner wall (66) helping to delimit, at least partially, a receiving area (26) intended to receive the connector (8), the adapter (1) comprising at least one receiving housing (32) which is intended to receive the arm and which has a rectangular cross section defined by two major sides (33) and two minor sides (31), characterized in that a straight line (D) passing through one of the major sides (33) cuts the receiving area (26) intended to receive the connector (8).

A wiper blade having a wiper strip having a wide portion and a lip, and an elongate backing element. The backing element having a top portion, and two opposing legs that descend from the top portion, such that each opposing leg has a claw which extends towards the other opposing leg. A gap formed between the claws that is narrower than a width of the wide portion of the wiper strip. The claws, legs, and top portion define a wiper strip cavity sized to receive the wide portion wiper strip.

A connector for a windshield wiper, and a wiper blade assembly including same, that accommodates slotted receiving portions of windshield wiper arms. The connector for connecting a windshield wiper assembly to a wiper arm may have a peripheral wall having at least two opposing peripheral side walls and a top surface extending from one of the two opposing peripheral side walls to the other. The opposing peripheral side walls may each have a guide pin aligned with one another and sized to be capable of slidably engaging slots of windshield wiper arm.

Assembly for the production of a wiping system (1), comprising a terminal part (4) of a wiper arm (3) designed to move a wiper blade (2), and a connecting interface (5) for conveying a liquid to the wiper blade (2), said assembly further comprising one sliding element (6) having a first position for locking a connecting device of the wiper blade (2) on said terminal part (4), and a second position enabling the terminal part (4) and the connecting device to be separated, said sliding element (6) being further able to hang said connecting interface (5) either on the connecting device in the first position or on the terminal part (4) in the second position.

A windshield wiper connector is disclosed for connecting a variety of wiper arms with a wiper blade. The connector may include a pivotable cover.
