Wiper blade for a wiping system, in particular for wiping a camera of a motor vehicle, the wiper blade comprising a connection device suitable for releasable connection to a drive shaft of the wiper blade, said connection device comprising a first orientation which allows mounting/dismounting relative to a drive shaft, and a second orientation which does not allow such mounting/dismounting.

The invention relates to a wiper frame (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (14), a liquid channel (30, 32) for carrying a cleaning liquid, and a heating unit (38). According to the invention, the heating unit (38) is substantially located inside the liquid channel (30, 32).

The invention relates to a wiper blade device for a windshield wiper (12a), comprising a spoiler unit (14a; 14b; 14c), which has at least one soft spoiler component (16a; 16b; 16c) and at least one hard spoiler component (18a; 18b; 18c), wherein the hard spoiler component (16a; 16b; 16c) forms a receiving area (20a; 20b; 20c) for a spring rail, at least partially. The wiper blade device further comprises a spray unit (22a; 22b; 22c). According to the invention, the spray unit (22a; 22b; 22c) has at least one first duct element (24a; 24b; 24c), which is integrally molded, at least partially, to the hard spoiler component (18a; 18b; 18c).

A fluid guiding apparatus for a wiper arm of a windscreen wiper, the fluid guiding apparatus having a vehicle/arm interface in order to receive windscreen washing liquid from a source, an arm/wiper blade interface which has at least two fluid channels which are provided to supply the windscreen washing liquid to a wiper blade, at least a first and a second fluid line in order to guide the windscreen washing liquid from the vehicle/arm interface the arm/wiper blade interface and to provide it to one of the fluid channels in each case, and a heating wire which is guided at least through a portion of the first fluid line and at least through a portion of the second fluid line and which is provided to heat the windscreen washing liquid. The arm/wiper blade interface has a through-opening which connects the two fluid channels to each other. The heating wire is guided through the through-opening and the through-opening is closed with a sealing element.

A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, 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 includes at least one longitudinal slit, in which slit at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for a rod-like extension of an oscillating arm, wherein said rod-like extension can be pivotally connected to said connecting device about a pivot axis near a free end thereof, wherein said connecting device comprises a first part and a second part, wherein said rod-like extension of said oscillating arm can be pivotally connected to said first part about said pivot axis, with the interposition of said second part, wherein said first part is connected to said wiper blade and said second part is pivotally (preferably also detachably) connected onto said first part, wherein said second part comprises a channel arranged to receive said free end of said rod-like extension, with the special feature that said windscreen wiper device comprises a housing for said rod-like extension, wherein said housing is arranged to be connected to said second part, and wherein said housing comprises a channel to receive said rod-like extension, said channel of said housing in mounted position being co-axial with said channel of said second part.
