  • Patent number: 9764716
    Abstract: A wiper arm arrangement with a wiper arm of a windscreen wiper system of a vehicle and an attachment element having at least one line. The attachment element can be coupled to a connecting element designed for holding a wiper blade and for connecting the wiper blade to the wiper arm. Due to the coupling, at least one corresponding line of the connecting element can be joined onto the at least one line of the attachment element. The connecting element can be fitted onto the attachment element in an installation direction which coincides at least substantially with a direction of longitudinal extent of the wiper arm. The attachment element is arranged on the wiper arm so as to be movable in the direction of longitudinal extent of the wiper arm.

  • Patent number: 9604600
    Abstract: Assembly for the production of a wiping system, comprising a terminal part (2) of a wiper arm designed to move a wiper blade (3) over the surface to be wiped and a hydraulic connector (30) comprising at least one piping element (31, 32) for conveying a liquid to the wiper blade (3), the said terminal part comprising at least one means (8) for supporting the said hydraulic connector ensuring that it is held longitudinally with reference to the wiper arm. It is characterized in that the said supporting means allows a movement of the said hydraulic connector (30) in a direction convergent with the longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20120279009
    Abstract: A plug connection between a wiper blade and a wiper arm of a wiper mechanism for a windscreen of a vehicle is provided. A bolt standing laterally away from the wiper arm can be introduced into a socket. The bolt includes a recess extending in the direction of the middle axis of the bolt. When the socket is pushed onto the bolt, a raised element extending in radial direction and arranged on an inner wall of the socket can be guided along the recess. The recess includes an extension region, into which the raised element can be brought by twisting the bolt and the socket relative to each other. A stop limiting the twisting is formed in the extension region between the bolt and the socket. A locking position of the socket is thus precisely defined.

  • Publication number: 20120272471
    Abstract: A windscreen wiper system with an associated windscreen washer system for a motor vehicle is provided. The windscreen washer system includes a washer fluid supply line leading to outlets. The outlets are preferably provided on the wiper blade and are therefore capable of moving together with a corresponding wiper arm of the windscreen wiper system. A coupling part moving together with the moving wiper arm and connecting the wiper blade to the respective wiper arm is provided with changeover valves. An emergence of washer fluid from the outlets can be controlled by the changeover valves.

  • Publication number: 20120266403
    Abstract: An arrangement of a windscreen wiper system with an associated windscreen washer system on a motor vehicle is provided. The windscreen washer system includes a washer fluid supply line to which are connected, downstream of a branch point, at least two distribution lines leading to respective outlets. The outlets can be moved together with a corresponding wiper arm of the windscreen wiper system. A distributing device can control an emergence of washer fluid from at least one of the outlets. The distributing device can be located in an engine compartment or stowage space of the motor vehicle.
