A wiper having a snapping seat, a pair of elastic arms and a pair of connection strips and a scraper is provided in this disclosure. One end of each elastic arm is connected to the snapping seat and the pair of elastic arms are respectively extended from the snapping seat in opposite directions. Two sides of each connection strip are respectively provided with a lower rail and the elastic arm is sheathed in the lower rail. An upper rail is disposed on a side of the scraper, and the upper rail is sheathed in the respective lower rails.

A connecting device (6) is provided for interconnecting a windscreen wiper device (1) of the flat blade type and an oscillating arm (7) pivotally connectable to the connecting device about a pivot axis near one end thereof. The windscreen wiper device includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade (2) of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one groove (3), in which groove a longitudinal strip (4) of the carrier element is disposed. The connecting device is arranged to be connected to the longitudinal strip, and includes—at least one hole (19) of a first type arranged to allow a welding tool access through the hole of the first type to contact the longitudinal strip for welding the longitudinal strip and the connecting device together; and—at least one hole (20) of a second type arranged to allow a pin access through the hole of the second type and through the longitudinal strip for interconnecting the longitudinal strip and the connecting device.

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 wiper blade assembly comprises a blade having upper and lower major surfaces, a wiper element extending from the lower major surface of the blade, a connector mounted on the upper major surface of the blade, and spoilers extending from opposite sides of the connector. The spoilers and the connector ore configured to positively engage each other. The spoiler includes a slice which will form a tear in the spoiler should the spoiler be moved axially relative to the connector to at least discourage reattachment of the spoiler should the spoiler be removed. The connector is a connector assembly comprising a connector base mountable to the blade of the wiper and an adapter which is separate from the connector base. The adapter is removably mountable to the connector base. Several different adapters are disclosed to allow the wiper assembly to be connected to different types of vehicle wiper arms.

A wiper blade including an elongate wiper strip, an elastic backing element and a mounting base. The wiper strip including a lip, a wide portion, and narrower intermediate portion between the lip and the wide portion. The backing element having a top portion from which two legs descend, such that each leg includes a claw that extends towards the opposite leg and has ends that define a gap sized to receive the intermediate portion of the wiper strip. The top portion, legs and claws of defining a wiper strip cavity where the wide portion of the wiper strip is disposed. The mounting base disposed on a section of the backing element and capable of connecting the wiper blade to a wiper arm and receiving force from same, such that the mounting base applies the force from the wiper arm to the backing element, which distributes same along the wiper strip.

A wiper blade assembly comprises a blade having upper and lower major surfaces, a wiper element extending from the lower major surface of the blade, a connector mounted on the upper major surface of the blade, and spoilers extending from opposite sides of the connector. The spoilers and the connector ore configured to positively engage each other. The spoiler includes a slice which will form a tear in the spoiler should the spoiler be moved axially relative to the connector to at least discourage reattachment of the spoiler should the spoiler be removed. The connector is a connector assembly comprising a connector base mountable to the blade of the wiper and an adapter which is separate from the connector base. The adapter is removably mountable to the connector base. Several different adapters are disclosed to allow the wiper assembly to be connected to different types of vehicle wiper arms.

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.

A cover for windshield wiper blades having an elongate body with a central collar and first and second elongate portions extending from the central collar. The first and second elongate portions having outer ends, and the central collar defining an interior passageway having a snap-fit tongue. A channel is disposed along each of the first and second elongate portions extending from the central collar towards the outer ends; and an end retainer or other securing mechanism is located at the outer ends. Also, windshield wiper blades incorporating such covers.

An adapter (112) for connecting a wiper blade to a drive arm, the adapter comprising two substantially parallel walls (28) connected together by at least one connecting element (30), said walls comprising first inner side faces (28a) between which said at least one connecting element extends, and outer side faces (28b) comprising protruding sliding guide patterns (132), characterised in that said patterns are divided into lines and columns.

Related are a wiper-fastening apparatus, a wiper blade assembly, and a wiper device. The wiper-fastening apparatus configured to fasten a wiper arm coupling adaptor to a wiper blade includes a base attached to or detached from a clamp fixed to the wiper blade and on which the adaptor is mounted to be hinge-rotated. Here, the base includes a hinge portion which is hinge-coupled to the adaptor and a lateral portion extending downward from both sides in a width direction of the hinge portion and inside which the wiper blade is mounted. Also, the lateral portion includes a protruding portion biased from the clamp or held by the clamp in a vertical direction depending on an angle formed by a longitudinal direction of the wiper blade and a longitudinal direction of the hinge portion.
