An end cap for a wiper of a window of a vehicle having at least one flexible supporting element and a blade design to be applied against the window is disclosed. The end cap includes a housing for receiving an end portion of the flexible supporting element. The end cap also has at least one means for locking the end portion of the flexible supporting element in an engaged position in the housing, and an outer wall delimiting the cap as well as an access orifice to the locking means, the locking means including a portion forming a longitudinal stop facing the flexible supporting element, a first face extending between the housing and the outer wall and a second face opposite the orifice. The locking means include an element that emerges at the junction between the first face and the portion and that extends at least longitudinally beyond the portion.

Disclosed herein is a windshield wiper assembly that is capable of securely holding a spoiler, thereby preventing poor operation of a wiping rubber member. In the windshield wiper assembly, a base part, formed at one end of the spoiler to support the wiping rubber member, is inserted into an end cap through an outer plug.

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).

An end joining piece (4) for a windscreen wiper for a glazed surface of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The end piece has at least a receipt receptacle (410) for receiving an end part of a longitudinal vertebra (20), and at least one flexible tongue (6a, 6b) which is configured to go from a first, position of rest, to a second, retracted position, by displacement in a first direction (F2a, F2b) during the insertion of the longitudinal vertebra in the receipt receptacle (410), the flexible tongue including an engagement ramp along which the vertebra is made to thrust, to provide the tongue with its second, retracted position. The engagement ramp (620a, 620b) has an inclination which is configured to exert on the longitudinal vertebra a force which tends to displace this vertebra in a second direction (F3a, F3b), which, together with the first direction of displacement, forms a non-zero angle.

The invention relates to an end cap arrangement, more particularly for a wiper blade (12a; 12b), comprising an end cap main part (14a; 14b) that can be fixedly connected to a main component (10a; 10b) of a wiper blade (12a; 12b). It is proposed that the end cap arrangement comprise at least an end cap spoiler element (16a; 16b) which is designed so that in an installed condition an installation opening (18a; 18b) is left free for a wiper rubber (20a; 20b).

An end cap for a flat wiper blade apparatus may be provided that includes: a main body which has a cross section corresponding to a cross section of a spoiler member of the flat wiper blade apparatus and surrounds a portion of the spoiler member; a support member which contacts an end portion of the spoiler member and is formed inside the main body across the main body in a width direction; a hook which is formed on one side of the support member and is fastened to an opening of a spring member of the flat wiper blade apparatus; and a protrusion which protrudes from one surface of the support member and by which a portion of a wiper rubber of the flat wiper blade apparatus is caught.

Clip (15) for a wiper blade (10), which clip is configured to be interposed between an end-piece (22) of the blade (10) and an aerodynamic spoiler (20) of a longitudinal cover member of the blade (10), characterized in that the said clip (15) comprises first means (25) able to collaborate by friction and/or anchorage with the end-piece (22) and second means (27) able to collaborate by friction and/or anchorage with the spoiler (20).

An end cap for a wiper assembly includes a body adapted to be disposed over a portion of a plurality of splines of the wiper assembly. The body includes a separator adapted to cooperate with the splines of the wiper assembly to separate and retain the splines laterally from movement for a wiping element of the wiper assembly disposed between the splines.

A streamlined flat windscreen wiper for a vehicle is disclosed. The flat wiper includes a longitudinal wiper blade, at least one longitudinal stiffening member, a longitudinal member for retaining the wiper blade and the stiffening member, a longitudinal streamlined portion having two terminal caps and a central mounting extending between the terminal caps and being connected thereto, the mounting comprising means for fixing to the stiffening member or to the member for retaining the stiffening member, and where each cap includes means for guiding in translation terminal parts of said member.

The present invention relates to a locking device (14, 45, 52, 56, 66) between a windscreen wiper blade holder (2) and a windscreen wiper blade (13), said blade (13) consisting of a top part (15) that is capable of cooperating with said blade holder (2) and a bottom part (16) in direct contact with the windscreen or window to be wiped, said device (14, 45, 52, 56, 66) having a shape that complements said top part (15) of said blade (13), characterised in that it is capable of being solidly attached to linking means (29), said linking means (29) connecting one of the ends of said blade holder (2) to one of the ends of said blade (13).
