Wiper blade adapter assembly
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.
Cap, connecting device for mounting a windscreen wiper on a corresponding windscreen wiper arm and windscreen wiping system
The invention relates to a cap (17) which is configured to be assembled with a terminal segment (9) of a windscreen wiper arm (5) which is configured to be connected to a windscreen wiper (3), said terminal segment (19having a longitudinal end (11) bearing a transverse pin (13) which is configured to define a pivot axis of the windscreen wiper (3), the cap (17) comprising: an upper part (171) which is configured to cover the terminal segment (9) of the windscreen wiper arm (5) in the assembled state of the cap (17) on said terminal segment (9), a lower part (173), and at least one fixing means (23) which is configured to cooperate with the transverse pin (13). According to the invention, the lower part (173) of the cap (17) comprises at least one support means (19) which is produced integrally with the cap (17) and which is configured to cooperate with the terminal segment (9) of the windscreen wiper arm (5) for the assembly of the cap (17) with the terminal segment (9).
Windscreen wiper device
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.
WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM ADAPTER, COUPLER AND ASSEMBLY
