Disclosed is an adapter assembly coupled to a clamp of the center of a wiper, configured by providing an arm-coupling adapter of which the lower part is coupled to a center base cover by a hinge so as to allow the adapter to freely rotate at a predetermined angle, the upper part has a hook arm assembling part, which enables a hook arm bent in a hook shape to be fit-assembled thereto, and the center part has an arm pin assembling groove penetrated in the longitudinal direction; and additionally assembling, at the rear side of the arm-coupling adapter, a rear top clip member for covering a portion of the rear of the adapter and, simultaneously, uniformly pressing the upper part of the arm when the hook arm or a side lock arm is coupled, such that the clip member prevents separation and ensures stable positioning.

A wiper blade and a wiper. The wiper blade comprises a wiping strip and a connection structure, the connection structure comprising: an adapter fixed to the wiping strip, the adapter comprising a first side part and a second side part which are opposite each other, with a first surface and a second surface being disposed on the first side part and the second side part respectively; a connector, the interior of the connector having an opening, a foolproofing part facing the second surface, and a hole in communication with the opening; when the connector is fitted to the adapter in an opposite direction, the first surface obstructs the foolproofing part and the shaft cannot be hinged into the hole via the opening. The foolproofing part can prevent a wiper arm from being fitted to the wiper blade incorrectly.

An adapter is provided to attach a non-original wiper blade assembly to a wiper arm of a vehicle which is usable with an existing sliding latch and other aesthetic and functional components of the wiper arm to maintain the original aesthetics of the wiper system while allowing installation of non-original wiper blade assemblies.

A wiper blade extends in the longitudinal direction and includes blade rubber, a plate spring-like backing, and a rubber holder. The blade rubber wipes a surface to be wiped. The backing imparts rigidity and elasticity to the blade rubber. The rubber holder holds both the longitudinally intermediate section of the blade rubber and the longitudinally intermediate section of the backing. The rubber holder has a backing housing hole for housing and retaining the backing. The backing housing hole longitudinally extends through the rubber holder. A parting line is set at the longitudinal center of the backing housing hole.

The invention relates to a connector (3) for assembling a drive arm of a motor vehicle to a windscreen wiper (2), said connector (3) comprising: a connection device (15) designed to interact with a base (10) of a windscreen wiper (2) to reversibly secure the connector (3) to the windscreen wiper (2), a side interface (16) on a side wall (17) of the connection device (15), said interface (16) comprising a second transverse pin (18) designed to be connected to a drive arm, characterized in that the connection device (15) comprises: a first member (26) designed to interact with a housing (11) in the base (10) of the windscreen wiper (2), the first member (26) being connected to the side wall (17) by at least one bridge (23), and at least one side locking tab (22a, 22b) projecting perpendicularly from the side wall (17) in the direction of the housing (11), the side locking tab (22a, 22b) being designed to interact with a side edge (24) of the windscreen wiper (2) arranged on the opposite side to the housing (11). The present invention also relates to a wiper device.

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.

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.
