A windscreen wiper device is provided. The device comprises a connecting device pivotally connected to an oscillating arm about a pivot axis, with the interposition of a joint part. The joint part comprises at least one resilient tongue engaging a correspondingly shaped hole provided in the oscillating arm. The resilient tongue is rotatable along a hinge axis between an outward position retaining the wiper blade onto the oscillating arm and an inward position releasing the wiper blade from the oscillating arm. The oscillating arm has an at least substantially U-shaped cross-section at the location of its connection to the joint part and at least one leg of the U-shaped cross-section of the oscillating arm comprises an inwardly extending protrusion cooperating with a bottom surface of a side wall of the joint part near an extremity of the joint part facing away from the free end of the oscillating arm.

The present disclosure relates to a connecting apparatus for a wiper, a wiper blade assembly, and a wiper device. A connecting apparatus for a wiper for interconnecting a wiper blade and a wiper arm includes: a main body portion having one surface on which the wiper arm is seated; and a cap portion rotatably provided on one side of the main body portion and configured to cover the wiper arm seated on the main body portion according to a rotation angle. The main body portion includes a groove configured to engage a rotation center of the cap portion, and a locking portion configured to be able to interfere with positional movement of the cap portion.

Provided are an adaptor for assembling a wiper blade, a wiper blade assembly, and a wiper device. The adaptor for assembling a wiper blade, which is configured to couple the wiper blade to two or more types of wiper arms, includes a body portion coupled to the wiper blade and to which a first type wiper arm is coupled horizontally or to which a second type wiper arm is coupled vertically and a locking portion rotatable provided on the body portion to cover a front end of the wiper arm.

Embodiments of a windshield wiper assembly may include a support structure, a wiper blade connector assembly for connecting the support structure with a wiper arm of a vehicle, a wiper blade cover fittable over the wiper blade connector assembly, and a wiper blade strip secured to the underside of the support structure. The connector assembly may include a wiper blade connector, a wiper blade connector cover connected to the wiper blade connector and pivotable between an open position and a closed position, and a wiper blade connector adapter securable between the wiper blade connector and the wiper blade connector cover. The various embodiments of a wiper blade connector assembly permit the embodiments of the wiper blade assembly to be connected with a plurality of wiper arm types.

The present disclosure relates to a holder for a wiper arm, a wiper assembly and a motor vehicle. The holder includes a body, having two opposite sidewalls extending in the longitudinal direction of the wiper arm, a fixing pin, arranged between the two opposite sidewalls of the body, and a first locking hole and a second locking hole, disposed in the two opposite sidewalls of the body respectively, and extending along concentric circles centred at the centre of the fixing pin, wherein the positions of the first locking hole and the second locking hole in an axial direction are at least partially coincident.

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.

The invention relates to an adapter intended to connect a wiper blade (7) to a drive arm (5) of a wiper system (800) for a vehicle, the adapter (IO0) comprising a head (I) and a body (2), the adapter (IO0) being formed by an upper wall (IO, 20) and two lateral flanks (I la, I lb, 2la, 2lb), the adapter (IO0) comprising a centring means (3) for centring in a vertical direction (Oz) perpendicular to the upper wall (IO, 20), characterised in that the centring means (3) is extended longitudinally by a guide member (9) configured to be engaged with the drive arm (5), the adapter (IO0) comprising a tab (4) configured to wedge the adapter (IO0) in the vertical direction (Oz).
