The present invention relates to a universal wiper adapter for connecting a wiper blade assembly to a wiper arm including a pair of sidewalls having an aperture and a land extending between the sidewalls cooperating to define a channel. The present invention further includes a cantilevered beam, between the sidewalls, having a super-surface and a subsurface each cooperating with the sidewalls to define an elongate passage and an elongate track, respectively. The channel and the elongate passage cooperate to receive two sizes of hook-type wiper arms, while the channel and the elongate track cooperate to receive three sizes of hook-type wiper arms. The present invention also includes a substrate between the sidewalls cooperating with the land and the apertures to receive two sizes of pin-type wiper arms. The substrate further cooperates with the sidewalls and the land to define an elongate cavity to receive a bayonet-type wiper arm.

A wiper blade (10) for windows, in particular of motor vehicles, is proposed that is equipped with a long, rubber-elastic wiper strip (14) that can be placed against the window (22), that is situated parallel to the longitudinal axis on a long, spring-elastic carrier element (12) to which a component (16) belonging to a device for attaching the wiper blade (10) to a driven wiper arm (18) is directly connected, whereby the carrier element (12) has springs (28, 30) designed in the shape of a strap lying in front of the window (22) in a plane that is basically parallel to the window, the bottom surfaces of the strap (13) of which face the window, the inner, adjacent longitudinal edges (32) of which have a distance between them and plunge individually into longitudinal grooves (54, 56) assigned to each longitudinal edge and open toward the longitudinal side of the wiper strip, and that are connected to each other by way of at least two transverse ribs (36) situated in the longitudinal direction with distance between them. A reliable and stressfree attachment of the wiper strip to the carrier element is insured when each transverse rib (36) has a center section (42) that extends at a distance from the top strap surfaces (11) of the springs (28, 30) so that bridge-like transverse ribs result, whereby the distance (34) between the two springs is less than the bridge width (46), and means of attachment (74, 76, 78) are situated on the carrier element (12) to secure the wiper strip (14) to the carrier element (12) in its longitudinal direction.

A wiper blade is proposed, which is used for cleaning windows, particularly of motor vehicles. The wiper blade (10) has an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (14), which can be placed against the window (22) and is connected in a longitudinally parallel fashion to an elongated, spring-elastic support element (12), which has a connecting device (16) for a wiper arm (18). The wiper blade has two band-like spring strips (28, 30), which are parallel to each other and are disposed in a plane spaced a distance (26) apart from the window (22) and whose one, inner longitudinal edges (32) disposed close to each other are spaced a distance (34) apart from each other, and the wiper strip, which has a uniform cross section over its longitudinal span, has a strip-like wiper lip (102), which can be placed against the window and which, by means of a narrow intermediary strip (102) that is formed by opposing groove-like constrictions (106), is connected to a covering strip (104) secured to the support element (12), and the spring strips secure the wiper strip. A wiper blade, which is particularly low-profile and therefore insensitive to the flow conditions of the window, is obtained if each of the two inner longitudinal edges (32) of the spring strips (28, 30) is disposed in one of the two groove-like constrictions (106) of the wiper strip (100), where the width of the constriction grooves (106), at least over an outer partial region, is greater than the thickness of the spring strips (28, 30).

A wiper blade is proposed, which is for cleaning for windows, particularly of motor vehicles. The wiper blade (10) has an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (14), which can be placed against the window (22) and is connected to an elongated, spring-elastic support element (12) so that their longitudinal axes are parallel, which support element (12) is directly connected to a device (16) for connecting the wiper blade to a driven wiper arm (18). The support element (12) has two band-like spring strips (28, 30), which are situated in a plane that is disposed in front of the window, essentially parallel to the window, and whose one, lower band surfaces (13) are oriented toward the window and whose adjacent, inner longitudinal edges (48), which are disposed spaced a distance (34) apart from each other, each protrude into a respective longitudinal groove (54, 56, or 106), which grooves are associated with each longitudinal edge and are open toward a respective longitudinal side of the wiper strip (14), and these two spring strips (36, 38) are connected to each other by at least two crosspieces (36, 38) disposed spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. Manufacturing advantages for the wiper blade according to the invention are achieved if each crosspiece (36, 38) has a middle section (42) which extends spaced a distance (44) apart from the upper band surfaces (11) of the spring strips (28, 30), producing bridge-like crosspieces, where the distance (34) between the two longitudinal strips (28, 30) is less than the bridge width (46).

An improved cover made of opaque, reflective, snow-and-ice-repellent material that shields windshields, windshield wipers, and air intake manifolds of vehicles from the accumulation of snow, ice, and frost; and it also prevents the sun's rays from penetrating the interior of vehicles through windshields.

A connection device between a windscreen-wiper blade and a drive arm capable of powering wiping of said windscreen-wiper blade on a window or windscreen includes two flanges capable of being solidly attached to one another. The two flanges are fixed to the same axis of rotation according to two distinct positions in relation to at least one of the two flanges, or one of the two flanges includes a fixed axis of rotation.

A windscreen wiper has a rubber blade, an beam being mounted on the rubber blade, multiple clips being mounted respectively through the beam, multiple spoilers being mounted on the beam, two end caps being mounted respectively on the spoiler and around the ends of the beam and the rubber blade and a connector assembly being mounted securely on the beam and between two adjacent spoilers. The beam that is held firmly on the rubber blade, and the clips hold the beam stably on the rubber blade. Therefore, the rubber blade is connected firmly to other components of the windscreen wiper, will not deform or deteriorate easily and has improved life span.

The invention relates to a windscreen wiper system, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one wiper arm provided with an elastic blade (21) and a fixing element (60). The known wiper arms comprise a tension spring which presses the wiper blade against a pane along with the windscreen wiper operation and maintains said wiper blade in a folded position with respect to the pane when the wiper blade is changed. Said wiper arms require a relatively important number of components and, for this reason, are relatively expensive. The aim of said invention is to make it possible to produce the windscreen wiper system in a more economical manner. For this purpose, the inventive elastic blade (21) is arranged in such a way that it is pivotable about the fixing element (60).
