Patent number: 11001232Abstract: An adapter (124) for attaching to an attachment member (138) of a wiper arm (114) extending to an terminal end (140) with an upper wall (142) and a pair of side walls (144) depending from the upper wall. The side walls each have an inward protrusion (146) and a U-shaped cutout (148) formed at the end defining upper (150) and lower cutout (152) edges. The upper wall has an aperture (156). The adapter has a body (158) with first (160) and second (162) ends. A stop (164) formed at the first end abuts the attachment member end. A slot (166) formed at the second end receives one of the protrusions. A resilient finger (168) attached to the body has a tooth (170) engaging the aperture to prevent longitudinal movement between the attachment member and adapter. A brace (172) formed at the first end is received in one of the cutouts when the tooth engages the aperture. The brace at least partially abuts the lower cutout edge and remains spaced from the upper cutout edge.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Trico Products CorporationInventors: Valentin Avasiloaie, Daniel Ehde, Mitica Polocoser

Patent number: 9221429Abstract: The present invention relates to a wiper assembly and a coupler assembly for use in releasably attaching the wiper assembly to a plurality of different attachment member for wiper arms. The coupler assembly includes a base mounted to structure of the wiper assembly and at least one coupler releasably attached to the base to allow connection to the attachment members. The coupler assembly also includes a release lever cooperating with the base and the at least one coupler for releasing the at least one coupler from the base to facilitate releasable attachment between a wiper assembly and the attachment members of the wiper arms.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: TRICO PRODUCTS CORPORATIONInventors: Valentin Avasiloaie, Daniel Ehde

Publication number: 20150274128Abstract: The present invention relates to a wiper assembly that includes at least one elongated support element, a wiping element, and an airfoil. The wiping element is adapted to contact a surface to be wiped and has a head portion attached to the support element, a wiping portion spaced from the head portion, and a pair of opposed grooves disposed between the head portion and the wiping portion. The airfoil has a body with a lower surface and a slot spaced therefrom for accommodating the support element. The body has a channel extending from the lower surface to the slot, thereby defining a pair of opposed shelves. The body further includes a pair of concealing members depending from the shelves. The concealing members are at least partially disposed in the grooves of the wiping element so as to substantially conceal the support element within the body of the airfoil.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: TRICO PRODUCTS CORPORATIONInventors: Valentin Avasiloaie, Daniel Ehde, Mitica Polocoser
