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.

A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type having an elastic, elongated carrier element and an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, adapted to be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal slit, in which at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed. The windscreen wiper device comprises an oscillating arm having a rod-like extension, a connecting device and a nozzle for spraying a washing liquid onto the windscreen to be wiped. The connecting device includes a channel adapted to receive a free end of the rod-like extension. The nozzle is adapted to be mounted onto the rod-like extension. The nozzle and the connecting device are provided with mutually cooperating protrusion/groove means for locking the nozzle onto the connecting device upon insertion of the free end of the rod-like extension inside the channel of the connecting device.

A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a connecting device for a rod-like extension of an oscillating arm. The rod-like extension can be pivotally connected to the connecting device about a pivot axis near one end thereof. The connecting device comprises a channel arranged to receive the rod-like extension. The channel includes a first chamber facing towards an entrance of the channel, as well as a second chamber facing away from the entrance. The first chamber has a larger width than the second chamber. The first chamber is arranged to receive a first part of the free end of the rod-like extension. The second chamber is arranged to receive a second part of the free end of the rod-like extension. The first part of the rod-like extension has a larger width than the second part of the rod-like extension.

A windscreen wiper device for cleaning a windshield of a vehicle is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a longitudinally extending wiper strip and at least one carrier element in engagement with the wiper strip for operatively supporting and biasing the wiper strip into a predetermined configuration. A base is non-removably coupled to the at least one carrier element and has an opening that extends therethrough to provide access to the at least one carrier element through the base. A connection device is removably secured directly to the at least one carrier element through the opening of the base for attachment with a wiper arm.

The invention relates to a production method and to a wiper blade for wiping panes, in particular motor vehicle panes, comprising a retaining element (12) for receiving a wiper strip (14), said retaining element having two spring rails (28, 30) which are separated from each other by a gap (32) and to which a connecting device (20) is fixed. The connecting device has a wiper blade-side part (15) with claw-like receiving portions (34, 36) that engage around the retaining element (12) at least in some regions. Each of the receiving portions (34, 36) has an internal width (42) that expands in the direction of the gap (32).

A coupling mechanism for interfacing between a wiper and a wiper arm comprises an connector and at least one width-adjusting spacer member. The connector has a body, and the two sides of the body are defined as the outer side walls. The body has a stopping portion formed at one end thereof, and an engaging member is formed on the top surface of the body. The width-adjusting spacer member is selectively arranged on the outer side walls of the body. Thus, the width of the coupling mechanism can be adjusted according to the user's demands, and thereby, enabling the wiper to be coupled to wiper arms having different specifications.

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, particularly for automobiles, comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade (7) of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade (7) is of the flat blade type and includes at least one groove (19), in which groove (19) a longitudinal strip (20) of the carrier element is disposed, and wherein said windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device (1) for detachably connecting said wiper blade (7) to an oscillating arm near one end thereof around a pivot axis, wherein said connecting device (1) is fixated to said flexible material of said wiper blade (7) by deformation of said connecting device (1) in order to block any lateral movement between said longitudinal strip (20) and said wiper blade (7) at the location of their interconnection and between said connecting device (1) and said wiper blade (7) at the location of their interconnection.
