A wiper system and, more specifically, wiper adapters are provided for wiper assemblies. The adapter engages retention features formed on the front end of the wiper arm, and the blade assembly is equipped with an adapter that mates with the arm geometry to secure itself together. The adapters mount to a common arm geometry and allow for ready, direct connection of the wiper arm to the adapter, which in turn connects to a wiper assembly.

The invention relates to a wiper system for a motor vehicle, comprising a drive arm and a wiper which are connected to one another by a connecting device which comprises a connector secured to the wiper and a connecting shaft, the drive arm comprising a first end via which it is attached to a drive means, and a second end, opposite to the first end in a longitudinal direction of the drive arm, the connecting device comprising a receiving housing for receiving the connecting shaft, the receiving housing comprising an entrance by means of which the connecting shaft is received in the receiving housing and a locking zone for locking the connecting shaft, characterized in that the locking zone is positioned between the entrance of the receiving housing and the second end of the drive arm.

A holder for a wiper arm includes a body having two opposite sidewalls extending in the longitudinal direction of the wiper arm, the bottom of the body being provided with a dovetail slot configured to match a protrusion of an adapter. The holder further includes a fixing pin arranged between the two opposite sidewalls of the body, and a first locking pin and a second locking pin arranged in the two opposite sidewalls of the body respectively. The first locking pin and the second locking pin are equidistant from the fixing pin.

The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper element which is made of a flexible material and a carrier which operably supports the wiper element and biases the wiper element into a pre-curved position. A base is engaged with the carrier and at least one connector piece is releasably connectable with the base. The base includes a pair of holding elements which wrap around opposite lateral side edges of the carrier and a pair of laterally spaced side walls. The connector piece includes a pair of legs. A pair of projections are disposed in at least one of the side walls of the base and the legs of the connector piece and a pair of recesses are disposed on at least one of the side walls of the base and the legs of the connector piece for snappingly receiving the projections to releasably attach the connector piece with the base.

The invention relates to an adapter 9 designed to be interposed between a connector 8 and an end portion of a drive arm, the adapter 9 including a first attachment member 32 designed to cooperate with a second attachment member 72 of the connector 8, the first attachment member 32 having at least one attachment wall arranged in a longitudinal plane of the adapter 9 and that bears a pivot shaft Ad of the connector 8, characterized in that the attachment wall has at least one recess 38c designed to receive a stiffening rib 70 of the connector 8.

A wiper blade and a wiper. The wiper blade comprises a wiping strip and a connection structure, the connection structure comprising: an adapter fixed to the wiping strip, the adapter comprising a first side part and a second side part which are opposite each other, with a first surface and a second surface being disposed on the first side part and the second side part respectively; a connector, the interior of the connector having an opening, a foolproofing part facing the second surface, and a hole in communication with the opening; when the connector is fitted to the adapter in an opposite direction, the first surface obstructs the foolproofing part and the shaft cannot be hinged into the hole via the opening. The foolproofing part can prevent a wiper arm from being fitted to the wiper blade incorrectly.

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 detachably snapped onto said first part, with the special feature that said second part comprises a channel arranged to receive said free end of said rod-like extension, wherein said second part has a U-shaped cross-section having an inclined base and two legs extending downwardly from said base, and wherein said second part comprises reinforcement means to arrange that bending locations of said legs upon snapping said second part onto said first part lie in the same horizontal plane.
