DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] In order for the esteemed Examiners to further understand the features and technical content of the present disclosure, please refer to the detailed description and accompanying drawings below. However, these drawings are provided for reference and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0015] Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, which are, respectively, a partially exploded perspective view and a partially assembled perspective view of the present disclosure. This disclosure provides a wiper accessory and a wiper structure having the same. The wiper structure includes a wiper accessory 1, a wiper body 2, and an arm 3. The wiper accessory 1 is used to be connected between the wiper body 2 and the arm 3.

[0016] The wiper body 2 is equipped with an accessory base 20 for pivotally connecting the wiper accessory 1 onto the accessory base 20. The accessory base 20 includes a pivot axle 21 laid across the accessory base 20. The accessory base 20 may be formed by two plates set upright and spaced apart. The pivot axle 21 is placed between these two plates.

[0017] The arm 3 is mounted on the wiper accessory 1, which in turn enables the arm 3 to drive the wiper body 2 to swing. The arm 3 includes a rod part 30, and a cover 31 disposed at one end of the rod part 30. The cover 31 includes a top portion 310 and two side portions 311 extending downward from the top portion 310. The top portion 310 and the two side portions 311 together enclose to form an insertion space 312, which allows the arm 3 to be mounted on the wiper accessory 1 by inserting the wiper accessory 1 into this insertion space 312.

[0018] Please also refer to FIGS. 1 to 3, where the wiper accessory 1 features a connecting body 10, and an elastic part 11 located at one end of the connecting body 10. Below the connecting body 10 is a pivot slot 100 that is pivotally connected to the pivot axle 21 of the wiper body 2, allowing the arm 3 to drive the wiper body 1 to swing. The elastic part 11 includes a plurality of fitting sections 110 extending towards the connecting body 10. Two fitting slots 311a are located on two sides of the cover 31 of the arm 3, respectively. Each of the fitting slots 311a is arranged corresponding to the respective fitting section 110. When the cover 31 of the arm 3 is mounted over the wiper accessory 1 from another end of the connecting body 10 through the insertion space 312, the fitting slots 311a on the two side portions 311 are engaged with the fitting sections 110 respectively, serving as an initial assembly step. Furthermore, a positioning block 101 may be disposed on the connecting body 10, and a positioning hole 310a is located on the top portion 310 of the cover 31. The positioning hole 310a is designed to align with the positioning block 101 to facilitate the assembly of the positioning block 101, thereby increasing the integration between the wiper accessory 1 and the cover 31 of the arm 3.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the disclosure mainly features a clamping part 12 disposed on two sides of the connecting body 10 of the wiper accessory 1. Each clamping part 12 includes a hollow-shaped clamp groove 120 that extends from downside to upside, and the accessory base 20 is equipped with tab portions 22 for insertion into the respective corresponding clamp grooves 120. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the tab portions 22 may be formed on the two plates of the accessory base. Moreover, a lower edge 121 of the clamp groove 120 of the clamping part 12 includes a flat portion and is inclined downward from the flat portion towards the elastic part 11 (as shown in FIG. 4). A stop edge 311b is disposed on an inner wall of each of the two side portions 311 of the cover 31. The stop edge 311b may abut against the flat portion of the lower edge 121 of the clamping part 12, thus preventing the cover 31 from detaching from the connecting body 10 after the fitting slots 311a on the side portions 311 of the cover 31 are engaged with the fitting sections 110 of the elastic part 11 of the wiper accessory 1, while effectively limiting the wiper accessory 3 and the cover 31 of the arm 3 on the wiper body 2.

[0020] Therefore, by the structure described above, the wiper accessory and the wiper structure of this disclosure may be realized.

[0021] In summary, the present disclosure indeed achieves the purposes described in the specification and addresses the deficiencies known in the conventional techniques.

[0022] However, the above descriptions are merely preferred feasible embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent of the disclosure. Thus, all equivalent technical modifications and variations that employ the descriptions and drawings from the specification of the present disclosure are also included within the scope of this disclosure.
