Windshield wiper
A wiper blade assembly comprises a blade having upper and lower major surfaces, a wiper element extending from the lower major surface of the blade, a connector mounted on the upper major surface of the blade, and spoilers extending from opposite sides of the connector. The spoilers and the connector ore configured to positively engage each other. The spoiler includes a slice which will form a tear in the spoiler should the spoiler be moved axially relative to the connector to at least discourage reattachment of the spoiler should the spoiler be removed. The connector is a connector assembly comprising a connector base mountable to the blade of the wiper and an adapter which is separate from the connector base. The adapter is removably mountable to the connector base. Several different adapters are disclosed to allow the wiper assembly to be connected to different types of vehicle wiper arms.

CONNECTOR AND WIPER DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLING A DRIVE ARM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE TO A WINDSCREEN WIPER
The invention relates to a connector (3) for assembling a drive arm of a motor vehicle to a windscreen wiper (2), said connector (3) comprising: a connection device (15) designed to interact with a base (10) of a windscreen wiper (2) to reversibly secure the connector (3) to the windscreen wiper (2), a side interface (16) on a side wall (17) of the connection device (15), said interface (16) comprising a second transverse pin (18) designed to be connected to a drive arm,
characterized in that the connection device (15) comprises: a first member (26) designed to interact with a housing (11) in the base (10) of the windscreen wiper (2), the first member (26) being connected to the side wall (17) by at least one bridge (23), and at least one side locking tab (22a, 22b) projecting perpendicularly from the side wall (17) in the direction of the housing (11), the side locking tab (22a, 22b) being designed to interact with a side edge (24) of the windscreen wiper (2) arranged on the opposite side to the housing (11).
The present invention also relates to a wiper device.
Rear windscreen wiper device
The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper element which is made of a flexible material and a carrier which operably supports the wiper element and biases the wiper element into a pre-curved position. A base is engaged with the carrier and at least one connector piece is releasably connectable with the base. The base includes a pair of holding elements which wrap around opposite lateral side edges of the carrier and a pair of laterally spaced side walls. The connector piece includes a pair of legs. A pair of projections are disposed in at least one of the side walls of the base and the legs of the connector piece and a pair of recesses are disposed on at least one of the side walls of the base and the legs of the connector piece for snappingly receiving the projections to releasably attach the connector piece with the base.
Windscreen wiper device
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.
CONNECTOR AND CONNECTION DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLING A MOTOR VEHICLE ACTUATING ARM WITH A WIPER BLADE
The invention relates to a connector (6) for assembling a motor vehicle actuating arm with a wiper blade (2), said connector comprising; a transverse pin (8) intended to be linked to an actuating arm, said transverse pin (8) being located transversely between a first and a second lateral wall (10a, 10b) of the connector (6), a lateral connection interface (11) supported by one of the two lateral walls (10a, 10b), characterized in that the connector (6) moreover comprises at least one latching tab (19a, 19b) projecting from the lateral wall (10b) supporting the lateral connection interface (11), said latching tab (19a, 19b) being configured to cooperate with a lateral edge (20) of the connection platform (7).
