An adapter that connects with a coupler for a wiper element is configured to connect with a plurality of different wiper arms each having a different wiper arm style. The adapter can be a one-piece body or a multi-piece body having a cavity and openings for receiving distal ends or distal end features of each of the plurality of different wiper arms. The adapter can also include different tabs for engaging with openings, notches or other components on distal ends of each of the plurality of different wiper arms.

A connecting structure of a wiper arm includes a connecting shaft provided on a wiper arm and a snap-fit provided on a wiper blade. The snap-fit includes a pair of claws defining a groove that can be engaged with the connecting shaft. A slit defined by inner walls facing each other is provided on both sides of the pair of claws in a longitudinal direction of the wiper blade. A first protrusion protruding toward inside of the slit is provided on one of the inner walls, and a second protrusion protruding toward inside of the slit is provided on the other of the inner walls. The first and second protrusions are arranged offset from each other in a direction along an axial direction of the connecting shaft.

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.

The present disclosure related to a wiper including a buckling seat (10), an elastic arm (20), a scrapping strip (40) and an end sleeve (50). The elastic arm (20) is connected to the buckling seat (10) and has an end part (21) with a buckling hole (22), and one side of the elastic arm (20) has a bottom surface (23). The scrapping strip (40) is disposed on the bottom surface (23) of the elastic arm (20). The end sleeve (50) has a buckling hook (51) buckled with the buckling hole (22). Accordingly, the wiper may be easily assembled and the scrapping strip (40) may be effectively fastened.

A windscreen wiper device (1) of the flat blade type comprising 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, which wiper blade includes at least one groove (3), in which groove a longitudinal strip (4) of the carrier element is disposed, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device (6) for an oscillating arm (7), wherein the oscillating arm can be pivotally connected to the connecting device about a pivot axis (11) near one end, the connecting device comprising at least two parts (8, 9) provided with protrusion/hole means arranged for pivotally and detachably connecting the parts together through a snapping operation, wherein the first part is retained onto the wiper blade and wherein the second part comprises a channel arranged for inserting the oscillating arm therein, wherein the windscreen wiper device is provided with retaining means arranged for retaining the connecting device onto the oscillating arm, wherein the retaining means comprises at least one upwardly extending protrusion (13) on the second part, wherein the protrusion is movable relative to the second part between an inward position, wherein in mounted position the protrusion engages into a correspondingly shaped hole (15) provided in the oscillating arm and the connecting device is retained onto the oscillating arm, and an outward position, wherein in dismounted position the protrusion disengages from the hole provided in the oscillating arm and the connecting device is released from the oscillating arm.

An adapter (1) for securing a wiper on an arm of a wiper system, the adapter (1) extending in a longitudinal direction (L), the adapter (1) being configured to be fitted such as to rotate on a connector of the wiper around an axis of rotation transverse to the longitudinal direction (L), the adapter (1) comprising at least one lateral wall (10) and one upper wall (12), the lateral wall (10) and the upper wall (12) participating in defining an inner volume of the adapter (1), the adapter (1) comprising an inner wall (20) extending at least partly into the inner volume of the adapter (1), the adapter (1) comprises a locking device (22) which is designed to render the adapter integral longitudinally relative to the arm of the wiper system, the locking device being fitted such as to pivot on the upper wall around an axis of pivoting.
