The invention concerns a wiper blade for a vehicle, comprising at least one wiper strip intended to come to bear on a glazed surface and at least one bending member (1) housed in a support, the wiper strip being held by the support, the bending member (1) being configured to generate curvature in the wiper blade, the bending member (1) being arranged in the form of a longitudinally extending strip, the strip comprising, seen in cross-section, an intermediate portion (2) arranged between two lateral portions (3a, 3b) of the strip, characterized in that a first thickness (12) of the intermediate portion (2) is less than a second thickness (13) of at least one of the lateral portions (3a, 3b).

A windshield wiper system includes a windshield wiper having a wiper blade with a near end and a far end. The windshield wiper is configured for performing a relative rotation of the wiper blade between the far end and the near end of the wiper blade. A mechanism applying a torque to the far end during a sweeping motion of the windshield wiper twists the far end of the wiper blade relative to the near end. The mechanism may perform the relative rotation of the wiper blade regardless of whether the wiper blade is in contact with a windshield. For example, the mechanism may include a stationary cam block having a cam profile, and an actuator arm moving along the cam profile with the sweeping motion of the windshield wiper. The cam profile is suitably shaped to pivot the actuator arm in laterally outer ranges of the sweeping motion.

A wiper blade apparatus having at least one wiper lip for wiping a window in a first wiping direction at least substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the wiper lip and a second wiping direction at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wiper lip, having at least one wiper bar unit and having at least one heating unit which is arranged partially at a wiping up side, facing the first wiping direction, of the wiper bar unit and which is arranged partially at a wiping down side, facing the second wiping direction, of the wiper bar unit. It is proposed that the at least one heating unit be constructed to achieve a different heating power at the wiping up side of the wiper bar unit from at the wiping down side.

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.

A motor vehicle wiper blade includes a spoiler which extends along a longitudinal direction and a lip disposed on the spoiler. The spoiler has, along the longitudinal direction, a cutout which extends in a direction of the lip. The motor vehicle wiper blade has an inner circle side and an outer circle side. The cutout is disposed on the inner circle side of the motor vehicle wiper blade and there is no cutout on the outer circle side of the motor vehicle wiper blade.

Described is a windshield wiper apparatus that is formed to dispense fluid. The wiper apparatus includes an elongate body member having a length with a sealable channel therein that runs along the length. At least one blade protrudes downward along the length of the elongate body member. Further, a series of holes are formed such they pass from the sealable channel and through the elongate body member proximate the at least one blade. Thus, a fluid passing through the sealable channel is dispensed onto a surface proximate the at least one blade.

The present invention concerns a packaging device (1) for a wiper blade (100) comprising a curved blade (110) and an integrated flexible structure (120), said packaging device (1) comprising a shell (14) delimiting a housing (10) intended for receiving the blade (100) and defining holding means (20) intended for securing said blade (100) inside said housing (10) in a position that can be at least partially upright in relation to its rest position, the holding means (20) comprising: a first bearing surface (21) capable of engaging by contact with a portion (141) of the upper part (140) of the blade (100), second and third bearing surfaces (22, 23) formed in the base of the housing (10) and capable of engaging by contact with the flexible structure (120) of said blade (100), the first bearing surface (21) extending facing an area located between the second bearing surface (22) and the third bearing surface (23), characterized in that at least one of the second and third bearing surfaces (22, 23) has a stop, referred to as the second stop, which is capable of engaging by contact with a lateral end (123) of the flexible structure (120), said second stop being arranged such that, in the stop position, at least a part of a projection (112) of the blade (110) is held away from the shell (14). The present invention also concerns a packaging for a wiper blade.

Disclosed is a flat wiper blade that includes: a wiper strip 10 which wipes a wiping surface; at least one guide clip 20 which passes through and is fitted to the wiper strip 10 in a width direction of the wiper strip 10; and a guide spring 30 which is coupled to the wiper strip 10 and the guide clip 20 and supports the wiper strip 10.

A wiper blade device (10a; 10b) is disclosed comprising at least one wiper blade unit (12a; 12b), which comprises at least one fluid line (14a; 14b) for conducting a fluid and at least one dispensing element (16a; 16b) for dispensing the fluid onto an object to be cleaned. It is proposed that the dispensing element (16a; 16b) has at least one dispensing opening (18a; 18b) which is arranged on an end surface region (20a; 20b) of the wiper blade unit (12a; 12b).

A wiper blade (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a wiper strip (16) that is held between a first spring rail portion (34) and a second spring rail portion (36) by a fastening portion (24), and includes a substantially triangular lip portion (18). A cavity portion (22) is provided between the fastening portion (24) and the lip portion (18), at the lower wall (44) of which cavity portion, on the side facing the lip portion (18), at least one guide shoulder (56) for guiding the lip portion (18) is arranged.
