A wiper blade connector releasably secures a wiper blade to a wiper arm, thereby forming a windshield wiper blade assembly. The wiper blade connector comprises an elongate body member having opposite facing side walls, a front end, and a rear end. The opposite facing sidewalls include means for receiving and releasably securing to the mounting base on a wiper blade. At the front end of the elongate body member, a first tongue receiving opening is sized to receive the corresponding front tongue of a wiper arm. At the rear end of the elongate body member, a second tongue receiving opening is sized to receive the corresponding rear tongue of a wiper arm. A locking mechanism, such as a slidable cap provided proximate to the front end of the elongate body member, releasably locks the wiper blade member to the wiper arm.

A wiper device (10) having a wiper arm adapter (16) and having a cover unit (30) which is mounted on the wiper arm adapter (16) so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis (36) between an open position (34) and a closed position (32) and which, in the closed position (32), at least partially covers the wiper arm adapter (16) in relation to an environment. The cover unit (30), in the closed position (32), is displaceable translationally between an unlocked position (38) and a locked position (40).

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.

An adapter is provided to attach a non-original wiper blade assembly to a wiper arm of a vehicle which is usable with an existing sliding latch and other aesthetic and functional components of the wiper arm to maintain the original aesthetics of the wiper system while allowing installation of non-original wiper blade assemblies.

The present disclosure relates to a connecting apparatus for a wiper, a wiper blade assembly, and a wiper device. A connecting apparatus for a wiper for interconnecting a wiper blade and a wiper arm includes: a main body portion having one surface on which the wiper arm is seated; and a cap portion rotatably provided on one side of the main body portion and configured to cover the wiper arm seated on the main body portion according to a rotation angle. The main body portion includes a groove configured to engage a rotation center of the cap portion, and a locking portion configured to be able to interfere with positional movement of the cap portion.

The invention relates to a device for attaching a windshield wiper blade to a drive arm of a wiping system. The device comprises a connector attached to the blade and an adapter (9) for connecting the connector to the arm, said adapter (9) including holding means (20) for holding same in a nominal locking position on the arm. According to the invention, the connector and/or the adapter (9) comprise safety means (70) that allow the arm to be retained in the nominal locking position upon failure of the holding means (20), said safety means (70) being configured to allow the adapter (9) to be mounted on and/or removed from the arm during nominal operation. The invention also relates to such a connector and such an adapter, as well as to a wiping system comprising such an attachment device.

A wiper blade having a wiper strip having a wide portion and a lip, and an elongate backing element. The backing element having a top portion, and two opposing legs that descend from the top portion, such that each opposing leg has a claw which extends towards the other opposing leg. A gap formed between the claws that is narrower than a width of the wide portion of the wiper strip. The claws, legs, and top portion define a wiper strip cavity sized to receive the wide portion wiper strip.

Assembly for the production of a wiping system (1), comprising a terminal part (4) of a wiper arm (3) designed to move a wiper blade (2), and a connecting interface (5) for conveying a liquid to the wiper blade (2), said assembly further comprising one sliding element (6) having a first position for locking a connecting device of the wiper blade (2) on said terminal part (4), and a second position enabling the terminal part (4) and the connecting device to be separated, said sliding element (6) being further able to hang said connecting interface (5) either on the connecting device in the first position or on the terminal part (4) in the second position.

A windshield wiper connector is disclosed for connecting a variety of wiper arms with a wiper blade. The connector may include a pivotable cover. The connector may also include a pin passage for receiving a pin-type wiper arm as well as a gaps in the connector positioned around an elevated plateau for receiving a slot-type wiper arm.

A windshield wiper assembly adapted to be mounted to the attachment portion of a wiper arm including a coupler assembly mounted to a wiper blade and serving to interconnect the wiper blade to the wiper arm. The coupler assembly includes a coupler having a body with a pair of sidewalls, a channel defined between the sidewalls and extending substantially parallel thereto. The channel is adapted to cooperatively receive the attachment portion of the wiper arm. A latching mechanism is operatively mounted to the body and movable between an open position spaced from the channel and a closed position disposed over the channel to secure the attachment portion of the wiper arm between the latching mechanism and the body thereby securing the coupler to the attachment portion of the wiper arm.
