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.

The invention relates to a production method and to a wiper blade for wiping panes, in particular motor vehicle panes, comprising a retaining element (12) for receiving a wiper strip (14), said retaining element having two spring rails (28, 30) which are separated from each other by a gap (32) and to which a connecting device (20) is fixed. The connecting device has a wiper blade-side part (15) with claw-like receiving portions (34, 36) that engage around the retaining element (12) at least in some regions. Each of the receiving portions (34, 36) has an internal width (42) that expands in the direction of the gap (32).

A windscreen wiper device includes a wiper blade having at least one groove, in which a longitudinal strip is disposed. A connecting device for an oscillating arm includes, at least two parts provided with protrusion/hole features arranged for detachably connecting the parts together through a snapping operation. The first part is retained onto the wiper blade and the second part comprises a channel arranged for inserting the oscillating arm therein.

Clip (15) for a wiper blade (10), which clip is configured to be interposed between an end-piece (22) of the blade (10) and an aerodynamic spoiler (20) of a longitudinal cover member of the blade (10), characterized in that the said clip (15) comprises first means (25) able to collaborate by friction and/or anchorage with the end-piece (22) and second means (27) able to collaborate by friction and/or anchorage with the spoiler (20).

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device for a vehicle, for wiping a window (4), comprising a wiper blade (2) that has an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12) which are at least partly flexible. Also provided is a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), the connecting elements (18) being spaced apart along a longitudinal direction (8) of the wiper blade (2) and being attached to the upper part (10) and/or the lower part (12) by a rotary joint (20), and the connecting elements (18) being designed to allow a motion of the upper part (10) and the lower part relative to each other with a motion component along the longitudinal direction (8) of the wiper blade (2). Each connecting element (18) extends along a longitudinal axis (24) of the connecting element (18) and along a transverse axis (25) running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (24), which runs from the upper part (10) to the lower part (12). The transverse axes (25) of at least two connecting elements (18) adjoining each other along the longitudinal direction (8) define a demolding angle (β) of at least 0.5° relative to one another.

A process for the production of a coated rubber item, comprising: (i) provision of a semifinished product having the main shape of the rubber item, where the semifinished product is composed of a rubber composition comprising at least one rubber and at least one crosslinking agent; (ii) coating of the semifinished product with a solvent-free coating composition comprising at least one monomer amenable to free-radical polymerization, (iii) crosslinking of the rubber composition and polymerization of the coating composition, to give a coated rubber item;
wherein the boiling point of the at least one monomer amenable to free-radical polymerization is ≥150° C. and the crosslinking of the rubber composition takes place at the same time as the polymerization of the coating composition.

The invention relates to a wiper blade packaging device having at least one secondary packaging (10a; 10b), which is provided to receive at least one wiper blade (12a; 12b), and having at least one mounting element (16a; 16b), which is arranged in the secondary packaging (10a; 10b) in at least one packaged state and which is provided to mount the wiper blade (12a; 12b) at least in part. According to the invention, in the packaged state, the mounting element (16a; 16b) is provided in order to be penetrated by the wiper blade (12a; 12b).

The present disclosure relates to a graphene coating composition for a wiper blade and a method for coating a wiper blade using the same. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a graphene coating composition for a wiper blade that may improve durability and an abrasion resistance of the wiper blade, and a method for coating a wiper blade using the same.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a wiper blade element (10) for a wiper blade and/or a wiper blade having a wiper blade element (10), in particular for a windscreen wiper. In order to provide simple and economical wiper blade elements and wiper blades having excellent properties, in particular having high wiping quality, high abrasion resistance, a high degree of friction reduction and miming noise reduction and a long service life, in said method a particle layer (12) is applied to an elastomer substrate (11), the elastomer substrate (11) is vulcanised with the particle layer (12) deposited thereon, and, after vulcanisation, a friction-reducing material (13) is applied to the particle layer (12).
