The invention relates to a windscreen wiper device for a vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (2) having an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12) which are at least partially flexible. Also provided are multiple connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), the connecting elements being mutually spaced along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2) and being attached to the upper part (10) and/or the lower part (12) by a rotary joint, and the connecting elements (18) being designed to allow a movement of the upper part (10) and the lower part relative to each another with a movement component along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). The wiper blade (2) has a fastening arrangement (32) which is designed to be fitted into a hollow shaft (40) of a drive unit and to be connected thereto so to transmit a torque from the drive unit via the hollow shaft (40) and the fastening arrangement (32) to the wiper blade (2).

A windshield wiper assembly includes a wiper blade, an output shaft, and a stop member. The output shaft is supported for rotation about a rotation axis and is fixed in rotation relative to the output shaft. The stop member is fixed in rotation relative to the output shaft and extends radially from the output shaft to limit rotation of the output shaft about the rotation axis, the stop member thereby limiting movement of the wiper blade beyond a predetermined sweep range of the wiper blade. Windshield wiper systems, aircraft with windshield wiper assemblies and systems, and methods of controlling sweep of wiper blades in windshield wiper assemblies and systems are also described.

A wiper device includes a pivot shaft, a pivot holder, a water receiving cap and a washer. The pivot holder includes a pivot support portion and a mounting leg. The pivot support portion pivotally supports the pivot shaft. The water receiving cap includes a boss portion and an umbrella portion. The boss portion is fitted onto the pivot support portion. The washer is fixed to a circumference of the pivot shaft at a portion projecting from a distal end of the pivot support portion. At least part of the boss portion overlaps the washer in an axial direction. The umbrella portion includes a projection that projects in the axial direction. The projection opposes the mounting leg in a circumferential direction without engaging the mounting leg in the axial direction.

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having a fastening element fastened to a drive shaft. The windshield wiper device comprises a wiper blade having an elongate upper part, which is at least partially flexible, an elongated lower part, which is at least partially flexible, and a plurality of connecting elements for connecting the upper part and the lower part. Along a longitudinal extension of the wiper blade, the connecting elements are spaced apart from one another, wherein the connecting elements are designed to allow a movement of the upper part and the lower part relative to one another, by means of a movement component, along a longitudinal extension of the wiper blade. The windshield wiper device further comprises a fastening part on the wiper blade side, wherein the fastening part on the wiper blade side comprises a clamping device such that the fastening part on the wiper blade side can be adjusted to the dimension of at least part of the drive shaft.

The invention relates to a cover 20 intended to lock a shaft 2a securely to a driving arm and a connector 8 that carries a wiper 1, the cover 20 extending along a main longitudinal axis X and having at least two longitudinal flanks 25, each longitudinal flank 25 having an open slot 29 delimited at a first longitudinal end by an end wall 29e and at a second longitudinal end by an opening 29c for receiving the shaft 2a, said cover 20 being characterized in that said opening 29c is formed opposite said end wall 29e. Application to motor vehicles, in particular to the wiping of a rear window.

A wiper blade apparatus with at least one spring strip having at least one wiper strip unit, which comprises at least one wiper lip and at least one wiper base body, which bounds at least one recess to a receptacle of the at least one spring strip and at least one damping cavity that is separate from the recess, and having at least one wind deflector unit, which at least partially overlaps with the wiper base body of the wiper strip unit and which comprises at least two guide bars, which extends to both sides of the wiper base body. It is proposed that the wiper strip unit comprise at least one resilient support elements arranged on the wiper base body and supported between the wiper base body and at least one of the guide bars.

The present invention relates to a windscreen wiper device (100) for a vehicle, with a fastening element (52), in particular to a motor vehicle. The windscreen wiper device (100) comprises a mounting element (40) which is designed to be mounted on the fastening element (52), and a wiper blade (2) with an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12), which are configured to be at least partially bendable. Furthermore, a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12) are provided, wherein the connecting elements (18) are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). The connecting elements (18) are designed in order to permit a movement of the upper part (10) and of the lower part (12) relative to each other with a movement component along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). Furthermore, the wiper blade (2) comprises a wiper-blade-side fastening part (20). The wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) is configured in such a manner that, by means of a rotation of the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) relative to the mounting element (40), an engagement can be formed in order to connect the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) to the mounting element (40).
