Wiper blade with directionally differentiated motion
A wiper including wiper bracket which couples a wiper arm to blade carrier which carries one or more blades and includes an internal flow path which conducts fluid from a wiper bracket inlet through a hollow passage in a wiper blade carrier cover to plurality of outlets aligned with passthroughs in the blade carrier through which fluid egresses from the wiper.
Windshield wiper arm adapter, coupler and assembly
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.
Connector between a wiper blade and a wiper arm driving a wiping system
A connector for a wiper blade, the connector is configured to cooperate pivotably, by a transverse hinge pin, with an adapter designed to allow an articulation link between the blade and a driving arm, the connector includes a body provided with two opposite side flanges, defining a housing designed to receive the adapter, and a pin between the flanges for the articulation link of the blade to the arm, the flanges include, at each of the ends of the hinge pin, a shoulder configured to allow axial guiding of the articulation link between the blade and the arm, the side flanges is configured to allow lateral flexion of the adapter bearing against the shoulder.
ADAPTER FOR CONNECTING THE FREE END OF A WIPER ARM, AND ASSEMBLY COMPRISING AN ADAPTER AND A WIPER ARM
The invention proposes an adapter (12) which comprises a front body (44) of convex external profile, intended to be received in a concave front closed-end (28) of a U-shaped end hook of a wiper arm, and at least one branch (50) which extends longitudinally towards the rear from the front body (44) and which carries a projecting locking stud (62) intended to be received in a locking slot (34) of the end hook, characterized in that it comprises a series of transverse notches (86A, 86B, 86C) for the longitudinal positioning of the adapter, these being longitudinally offset relative to one another and one or another of which is Intended to collaborate with a facing transverse edge of the end hook according to the dimension of the end hook, thus allowing one and the same model of adapter to be used for connecting wiper arms of different sizes.
Connector between a wiper blade and a drive arm
The invention relates to a connector (1) for a windscreen-wiper blade (2), said connector (1) being configured such as to engage with an adapter (3) for enabling a connection between said blade (2) and a drive arm, said connector (1) including a body (10) and a cover (30) which is movable on said body (10) along a hinge axis (X), said cover (30) including at least one means (31) for hinging on said body (10) and at least one first slot (32), said one or more first slots (32) being located on one or more side portions (33) of said cover (30) such as to form flexible areas (42), said one or more flexible areas (42) including the one or more hinging means (31). The invention also relates to an attachment device including an adapter (3) and a connector (1) such as previously described. The invention further relates to a windscreen-wiper blade (2) including such an attachment device. The invention finally relates to a wiping system including such a windscreen-wiper blade.
Wiper blade adapter, in particular for a motor vehicle wiper device
The invention relates to a wiper blade adapter, in particular for a motor vehicle wiper device, comprising a coupling unit (10) which comprises at least one first coupling element (12) and a second coupling element (14) which are provided for coupling at least two different types of wiper arm adapters (100, 110, 120, 130), and housing means (62) which are provided for delimiting at least one part of one of the coupling elements (12). According to the invention, said housing means (62) and the coupling element (12) are embodied such that they form one piece.
WIPER BLADE WITH DIRECTIONALLY DIFFERENTIATED MOTION
A wiper including wiper bracket which couples a wiper arm to blade carrier which carries one or more blades and includes an internal flow path which conducts fluid from a wiper bracket inlet through a hollow passage in a wiper blade carrier cover to plurality of outlets aligned with passthroughs in the blade carrier through which fluid egresses from the wiper.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE ADAPTER
The present invention is directed to a wiper blade adapter (200) having a body (100) for receiving a hook-type wiper arm (300) and an adapter cap (1) for locking the hook-type wiper arm (300) to the adapter (200), a first end of the adapter cap (1) is hingedly connected to a body pin (130) of the body (100), and a second end of the adapter cap (1) engages a groove (112, 122) of the body (100) to lock the adapter cap (1) to the body (100) and to the hook-type wiper arm (300).
CONNECTION DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE WIPER SYSTEM
A connection device for a wiper system for wiping a glazed surface of a vehicle is disclosed. The wiper system includes at least one wiper, and at least one wiper arm designed to drive the rotation of the wiper. The connection device connects the wiper to the wiper arm and further includes at least one connector configured to be secured to the wiper and at least one adapter mounted with the ability to pivot on the connector. The wiper arm extends between a first end designed to be connected to a motor and a second end designed to be secured to the adapter. The adapter and the connector define a closed-section housing for receiving at least part of the second end of the wiper arm. This part of the second end of the wiper arm is configured to contribute to holding the adapter on the connector.
Wiper blade and wiper arm
A wiper arm for use with a wiper blade, which is mechanically and detachably connectable to the wiper arm and to a wiper arm adapter by joining in an assembly direction using a wiper blade adapter, includes an electrical connecting element, disposed on a wiper arm side of the wiper blade adapter, configured to reversibly establish a connection to a second electrical connecting element on a wiper blade side of the wiper blade adapter. The connection between the electrical connecting element and the second electrical connecting element is formed along the assembly direction. The electrical connecting element and the second electrical connecting element are mounted floating. The electrical connecting element and the second electrical connecting element are mounted deflectable in a spatial plane oriented crossways to the assembly direction.
