A packaging apparatus (10a; 10b), in particular a wiper blade packaging apparatus, for packaging at least one item (12a, 26a, 30a, 34a), in particular at least one wiper blade adapter (14a, 28a, 32a, 36a), with a packaging element (16a; 16b) for accommodating the item (12a, 26a, 30a, 34a). It is proposed that the packaging element (16a; 16b) be configured as a user guide (18a).

The present invention concerns a packaging device (1) for a wiper blade (100) comprising a curved blade (110) and an integrated flexible structure (120), said packaging device (1) comprising a shell (14) delimiting a housing (10) intended for receiving the blade (100) and defining holding means (20) intended for securing said blade (100) inside said housing (10) in a position that can be at least partially upright in relation to its rest position, the holding means (20) comprising: a first bearing surface (21) capable of engaging by contact with a portion (141) of the upper part (140) of the blade (100), second and third bearing surfaces (22, 23) formed in the base of the housing (10) and capable of engaging by contact with the flexible structure (120) of said blade (100), the first bearing surface (21) extending facing an area located between the second bearing surface (22) and the third bearing surface (23), characterized in that at least one of the second and third bearing surfaces (22, 23) has a stop, referred to as the second stop, which is capable of engaging by contact with a lateral end (123) of the flexible structure (120), said second stop being arranged such that, in the stop position, at least a part of a projection (112) of the blade (110) is held away from the shell (14). The present invention also concerns a packaging for a wiper blade.

A system provided with a windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove a longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, wherein ends of the wiper blade and/or of the longitudinal strip are interconnected by a respective connecting piece, the carrier element biasing the wiper blade in a curved position, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for pivotally connecting an oscillating wiper arm thereto; a holder for holding the windscreen wiper device; with the special feature that the holder comprises a stiff tightening profile engaging the windscreen wiper device at engaging locations on the connecting device for tightening the windscreen wiper device in a less curved position.

A packaging device for a windscreen wiper blade has a housing configured to receive the blade, having a first support surface configured to contact a portion of an upper part of the blade, a second support surface configured to contact a first portion of a lower part of the blade, a third support surface configured to contact a second portion of the lower part of the blade, a centering means, and a hooking means for hanging the packaging device vertically. The centering means blocks the blade at the center of the housing when the packaging device is hung. The first support surface extends opposite an area situated between the second support surface and the third support surface, and the first, second, and third support surfaces together immobilize the blade inside the housing in a position that is at least partially straightened out relative to a resting position of the blade.

The invention relates to wiper blade packaging (10) for a wiper blade (12) having a fastening adapter (14) for a wiper arm. Said packaging comprises an elongate outer packaging (16) having a longitudinal extension (20) that has a closable removal opening (23) which is arranged on an end face (22). According to the invention, an additional opening (26) is provided along the longitudinal extension (20) in the region provided for the fastening adapter (14).

Blank (1) for assembling a device for packaging at least one windscreen wiper, said blank (1) being of elongate shape and comprising at least two adjacent longitudinal areas (2, 3) that can be articulated to one another via a longitudinal folding line (4), each longitudinal area (2, 3) being intended to form a longitudinal face of the packaging device, at least one of the longitudinal areas (2, 3) being further articulated at each of its longitudinal ends to an end area (21, 22; 31, 32), via a transverse folding line (5, 6; 7, 8), each end area (21, 22; 31, 32) being adapted to form a substantially transverse end face of the packaging device, said blank (1) being characterized in that it includes, at one of its longitudinal ends at least, longitudinal shock absorbing means (11) situated at the level of the longitudinal folding line (4) and spaced longitudinally and/or extending to a point spaced longitudinally from the transverse folding line or lines (5, 6; 7, 8) of the corresponding longitudinal end of the blank (1).

A packaging device for a windscreen wiper blade has a housing configured to receive the blade, having a first support surface configured to contact a portion of an upper part of the blade, a second support surface configured to contact a first portion of a lower part of the blade, a third support surface configured to contact a second portion of the lower part of the blade, a centering means, and a hooking means for hanging the packaging device vertically. The centering means blocks the blade at the center of the housing when the packaging device is hung. The first support surface extends opposite an area situated between the second support surface and the third support surface, and the first, second, and third support surfaces together immobilize the blade inside the housing in a position that is at least partially straightened out relative to a resting position of the blade.
