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 windshield wiper connector having a peripheral wall having at least two opposing peripheral side walls, a top surface extending from one of the two opposing peripheral side walls to the other; and a channel formed in the top surface, and extending longitudinally along the top of the connector. The connector including a groove near to the proximal end of the connector and sized to be capable of engaging a trapezoidal roller of a wiper arm. The opposing peripheral side walls having a retaining pin aperture aligned with one another and sized to be capable of accepting a retaining pin of at least one pin-type windshield wiper arm. The channel on the top of the connector sized to be capable of accepting a bayonet style wiper arm. A wiper blade assembly having a wiper strip, a force distribution structure, and a connector as described above.

A windscreen wiper system for a motor vehicle includes at least one wiper blade which has a slider secured to a wiper blade element. An adapter is connected to the slider in an articulated manner. The adapter is connected to a component of a wiper arm of the windscreen wiper system via a recess. The adapter is connected to a wiper rod of the wiper arm via the recess. A further functional element is arranged on the wiper rod of the wiper arm separately from the adapter.

The invention relates to a wiper blade device, in particular a windscreen wiper blade device, comprising: at least one wiper blade (10); at least one adapter unit (12) for coupling the wiper blade (10) to a wiper arm (14) of a wiper (16), in particular a windscreen wiper; at least one spraying unit (18) integrated in the wiper blade (10); and at least one washing water distributor unit (20) for supplying washing water to the spraying unit (18), in particular to nozzle elements (22) of the spraying unit (18) which are arranged substantially parallel to a main extension direction (54) of the wiper blade (10) along the wiper blade (10), wherein the washing water distributor unit (20) has at least one channel coupling element (24) for coupling at least one portion of the washing water distributor unit (20) to a washing water channel (26) of the spraying unit (18), the coupling being provided in particular for passage of a fluid and being preferably fluid-tight, and wherein the washing water distributor unit (20) has at least one adapter coupling element (28) for coupling at least one additional portion of the washing water distributor unit (20) to an additional washing water channel (30) of the adapter unit (12), the coupling being provided in particular for passage of a fluid and being preferably fluid-tight.
