A windscreen wiper device (1) of the flat blade type, particularly for automobiles, 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 longitudinal groove (3), in which groove at least one longitudinal strip (4) of the carrier element is disposed. A connecting device (5) is connected to the flexible material of the wiper blade by at least one pin (14), that cooperates with a recess (21) provided along an exterior edge of the longitudinal strip in order to limit any movement of the wiper blade in longitudinal direction thereof relative to the longitudinal strip at the location of the interconnection of the connecting device and the wiper blade. The connecting device has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, wherein free ends of legs (8) of the U-shaped cross-section extend inwardly so as to form grooves for receiving longitudinal sides of the wiper blade. At least one of the legs is provided with a hole (13) for receiving the pin, with the special feature that the pin is glued to an inner wall (25) of the hole or the pin is form-locked inside the hole.

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 (10; 10a to 10c) with, attached to a wiper arm (1), a wiper arm side adapter (11) to which the wiper blade (10; 10a to 10c) can be interchangeably attached, with, arranged on a wiper blade (10; 10a to 10c), a wiper blade side adapter (12) which interacts with the wiper arm side adapter (11), whereby the wiper blade side adapter (12) comprises a wiper blade side adapter section (24) and, swivel -mounted on a wiper blade side adapter section (24), a wiper arm side adapter section (23; 23c) which interacts with the wiper arm side section (11), with nozzle openings arranged on the wiper blade (10; 10a to 10c) and with, arranged on the wiper arm side adapter section (23; 23c), a hydraulic plug-type connection (20; 60; 70).

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.

A windscreen wiper device for cleaning a windshield of a vehicle is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper strip for sealing against the windshield and at least one carrier element engaged with the wiper strip to bias the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration. A frame structure is coupled to the at least one carrier element and includes at least two components. One of the components presents an elongated member with a resilient tab, and another component includes a longitudinally extending opening. One of the walls of the opening has a recess shaped similarly to the resilient tab. The elongated member is inserted into the opening until the resilient tab snaps into the opening to interconnect the components.

The windscreen wiper device includes an elastomeric wiper blade that extends in a longitudinal direction. At least one pre-curved longitudinal strip is operably attached with the wiper blade and biases the wiper blade into a curved shape. A connecting device is secured with the at least one strip. The at least one strip includes a pair of tabs that extend longitudinally towards one another and project vertically. The tabs cooperate with the connecting device to secure the connecting device with the at least one longitudinal strip.

A windshield wiper system includes a windshield wiper having a wiper blade with a near end and a far end. The windshield wiper is configured for performing a relative rotation of the wiper blade between the far end and the near end of the wiper blade. A mechanism applying a torque to the far end during a sweeping motion of the windshield wiper twists the far end of the wiper blade relative to the near end. The mechanism may perform the relative rotation of the wiper blade regardless of whether the wiper blade is in contact with a windshield. For example, the mechanism may include a stationary cam block having a cam profile, and an actuator arm moving along the cam profile with the sweeping motion of the windshield wiper. The cam profile is suitably shaped to pivot the actuator arm in laterally outer ranges of the sweeping motion.

The invention concerns a wiper blade for a vehicle, comprising at least one wiper strip intended to come to bear on a glazed surface and at least one bending member (1) housed in a support, the wiper strip being held by the support, the bending member (1) being configured to generate curvature in the wiper blade, the bending member (1) being arranged in the form of a longitudinally extending strip, the strip comprising, seen in cross-section, an intermediate portion (2) arranged between two lateral portions (3a, 3b) of the strip, characterized in that a first thickness (12) of the intermediate portion (2) is less than a second thickness (13) of at least one of the lateral portions (3a, 3b).

The invention relates to an assembly (5, 8) formed of an end-piece (8) and a wiper rubber (5) which constitute a wiper blade (1), the wiper rubber (5) comprising at least one heel (5a) and a friction zone (5g), the friction zone (5g) being capable of coming into contact with a surface to be wiped, the end-piece (8) comprising a first receiver (21) which is configured to receive a first end (31) of a flexible support (6) of the wiper blade (1), and a second receiver (22) into which the heel (5a) of the wiper rubber (5) extends, the two receivers (21, 22) being superposed in a plane passing through the heel (5a) and through the friction zone (5g), the end-piece (8) comprising a means of attachment (19) to the wiper rubber (5) integrally formed with the end-piece (8).

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.
