The wiper device includes a wiper blade which extends in a longitudinal direction and at least one longitudinal strip that is pre-curved to have a curved shape when in a relaxed condition. The wiper device supports the wiper blade and biases the wiper blade into a curved shape. A connecting device is attached with the at least one longitudinal strip. The connecting device includes a two-piece base and a joint part which is pivotably connected with the two-piece base. The two-piece base includes a first piece, which is directly secured with the at least one longitudinal strip, and a second piece with laterally spaced apart side walls that are each J-shaped.

A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type, comprising a longitudinal strip, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade is of the flat blade type and includes at least one groove, in which groove the longitudinal strip is disposed, wherein the windscreen wiper device further comprises a connecting device for detachably connecting the wiper blade to an oscillating arm the connecting device having a substantially U-shaped cross-section, wherein legs of the U-shaped cross-section are connected to the flexible material on opposite sides thereof, wherein the legs are provided with two pairs of opposite protrusions, and wherein the protrusions for exerting a transverse force on the flexible material, thereby locally squeezing the flexible material onto the longitudinal strip.

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.

The windscreen wiper device includes a longitudinally extending wiper element that is made of an elastomeric material. A carrier element, which includes at least one pre-curved longitudinal strip, operably supports the wiper element. The wiper device also includes a connector device with a first piece and with a second piece. A joint part is also provided, and the joint part is connectable with the second piece of the connector device and is configured for attachment with an oscillating wiper arm. The second piece includes a pair of prongs which extend through aligned openings in the first piece and the at least one longitudinal strip. Ends of the prongs are plastically deformed to lock the first and second pieces of the connector device with the at least one pre-curved longitudinal strip.

The invention relates to a wiping device, in particular a wiping device for a motor vehicle pane, comprising a wiper blade adapter (12a; 12b). According to the invention, the wiper blade adapter (12a; 12b) comprises a pivot bearing (26a; 26b) that is designed to pivotally mount a spring element (20a; 20b).

A windshield wiper blade assembly has a windshield wiper blade with an articulation element for articulating the blade to a wiper arm. An electrical connector includes two coaxial parts configured to rotate relative to each other, one part of which being intended to be secured to the articulation element and the other part of which being intended to be secured to the wiper arm. One part of the two coaxial parts is a male part including at least one male connector and the other part is a female part including at least one female connector associated with the at least one male connector, The least one female connector is arranged in a circular groove, so that said at least one male connector is able to move in rotation inside the groove and to contact the at least one female connector during the rotation of the two coaxial parts relative to each other.
