Abstract:
The invention concerns a wiper blade for a vehicle, comprising at least one wiper strip intended to come to bear on a glazed surface and at least one bending member (1) housed in a support, the wiper strip being held by the support, the bending member (1) being configured to generate curvature in the wiper blade, the bending member (1) being arranged in the form of a longitudinally extending strip, the strip comprising, seen in cross-section, an intermediate portion (2) arranged between two lateral portions (3a, 3b) of the strip, characterized in that a first thickness (12) of the intermediate portion (2) is less than a second thickness (13) of at least one of the lateral portions (3a, 3b).
Abstract:
A windscreen wiper blade including: a monolithic support frame that includes an inner housing formed within a body of the support frame; a wiping strip with a wiping edge able to engage with a surface of a window and a top heel that engages with the support frame; a pair of ribs that: extend from a bottom face of the support frame, and latch onto the top heel of the wiping strip; a central spine disposed within the inner housing; and an aerodynamic deflector that extends from a top face of the support frame.
Abstract:
A spline for use in a windshield wiper assembly including a wiping element is provided. The spline is composed of a pair of elongate strips, and each strip includes a first curved portion having at least one pointed protrusion to penetrate the wiping element, a notched portion having a notch, a second curved portion provided at a side of the elongate strip, and a body portion to seat within the wiping element. An overall shape of the spline is convex or concave with a bottom surface of the spline directed toward a wiping lip of the wiping element.
Abstract:
A windscreen wiper device for cleaning a windshield of a vehicle is provided. The windscreen wiper device includes a wiper strip extending in a longitudinal direction between opposite wiper strip ends, and the wiper strip is of a flexible material such as rubber for sealing against the windshield. At least one carrier element is disposed in the grooves and extends in a longitudinal direction between opposite carrier element ends. The windscreen wiper device further includes a frame structure including a plurality of claws in sliding engagement with the carrier element or elements and wherein the frame structure extends longitudinally past the ends of the wiper strip and the carrier element or elements. The frame structure includes a pair of flange portions that restrict the movement of the carrier element and the wiper strip relative to the frame structure.
Abstract:
The invention provides a blade (10) comprising a central rigidifying element (20), a wiping strip (14) and an element (16) forming an aerodynamic deflector that has a contour (AE-FM-MA) with an overall triangular shape comprising a front side (AE) that delimits the side of the aerodynamic deflector (16) that faces the wind, characterised in that the ratio (H/L) of the total height (H) of the windscreen wiper blade (10) to the overall transversal width (L) of the windscreen wiper blade (10), is comprised between 1.5 and 2.
Abstract:
The heating device is suitable for assembly with an element (3) supporting a wiper blade and comprises an element of longitudinal main axis (4) suitable for mounting inside a housing (5) of the support element (3) so as to form a spine. A heating element (13) is positioned on a bottom face of the spine-forming element (4). The spine-forming element (4) comprises at least one bushing (20) for the passage of electrical conduction means (19) in order to provide an electrical power supply for the heating element (13).
Abstract:
Heating device (20) that is able to be mounted on a support frame of a windscreen wiper, the heating device (20) having a vertebra (24) that is able to be mounted longitudinally inside the housing in the support frame; at least one heating element (25) disposed on the vertebra (24); an electrical connector (26) comprising an electrical connection device; characterized in that the heating device (20) comprises an electrically conductive protruding element (28) in electrical contact with the heating element (25), and in that the heating device (20) is able to prevent the electrical connection device (27) from coming into contact with the heating element (25) before the vertebra (24) is in its final mounted position; and to bring the electrical connection device (27) and the protruding element (28) into contact when the vertebra (24) is in its final mounted position.
Abstract:
An automobile windshield wiper blade has an elongated belt-shaped, flexible resilient support element, on the lower belt surface which faces the windshield and has an elastic rubber wiper strip extending along the windshield parallel to the longitudinal axis. A wind deflection strip on the upper belt surface has an incident surface facing the direction of driving wind. The deflection strip extends longitudinally, and has two sides that diverge from a common base point as seen in cross section, such that the incident surface is located at one exterior side and the wind deflection strip has a constant cross section along its entire length. The support element has outer edges, and the sides of the wind deflection strip have respective free ends that have respective claw-like extensions that grip the outer edges of the support element, wherein the wind deflection strip can be snapped or slid longitudinally onto the outer edges.
Abstract:
A wiper blade assembly which includes a blade, at least one backing which is fitted into an attachment groove of the blade, and an elongated holder member which is interconnected to the blade.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a wiper blade, comprising a frame type long strip skeleton, a connector to be connected to a wiper arm of an automobile and a rubber strip. The skeleton includes one elastic main beam. The body of the main beam has a curved locus, continuous concave downward curve, both end portions of the main beam register with the curved locus and a middle portion of the main beam registers with or deviates from the curved locus. The skeleton includes one or two elastic sub beams, located below and approximately parallel to the main beam which supports the rubber strip. Between the main beam and the sub beams is a means to constitute various frame structures or to adjust a distance between them so that the pressure applied along the entire length of the wiper blade to a windshield can be distributed evenly as far as possible.
