Abstract

A windshield wiper arm assembly (24) that is adapted to support a wiper blade (26) as it moves across a surface to be wiped. The windshield wiper arm assembly (24) includes a body (32) and a head (36) supported by the body (32) and adapted to be mounted to a pivot shaft (34) that defines a pivot axis P and drives the wiper blade (26) in an oscillating manner across the surface to be wiped. The body (32) also includes an opening (38) providing access to the head (36) mounted to the pivot shaft (34). A cover (40) is mounted to the body (32) at the opening (38) and is movable about an axis A substantially parallel to the pivot axis P from a first position closing the opening (38) to a second position allowing access to the head (36).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a windshield wiper assembly, and more particularly, to a windshield wiper arm assembly adapted to Wiper blades are supported and the windshield wiper arm assembly has a swivel cover that allows access to the head and pivot shaft. Background technique [0002] Conventional windshield wiper assemblies known in the related art include some type of wiper blade assembly mounted to an arm which in turn is mounted adjacent a surface to be wiped, such as a windshield. The wiper arm is pivotally driven to impart reciprocating motion across the windshield to the wiper blade assembly. A rubber wiping element is supported by the blade assembly and contacts the windshield across the surface to be wiped. Wiper blades are usually "championship" or "spar" style. Generally, two types of wiper assemblies known in the related art typically contain one or more metal strips for strengthening the wiper element and facilitating b...
