  • Patent number: 10843667
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a deflector (2; 20) for a wiper blade (1; 10) for a motor vehicle, made from a flexible material characterised in that it is split longitudinally by a groove (11; 110) communicating with a longitudinal cavity (8; 80) of the deflector (2; 20) in such a way as to form two half-foil members (2a, 2b; 20a, 20b) that can assume a deformed position in which the deformed half-foil members (2a, 2b; 20a, 20b) increase the deflection surface area of the deflector (2; 20). The present invention also concerns a wiper blade (1; 10) comprising such a deflector (2; 20).

  • Publication number: 20180170317
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (26, 26?, 26?) for a system (16) for connecting a blade (12) to a wiper arm (14), said device, known as the first device, being configured so as to be secured to said blade (12) or to said arm (14) and including means of articulation (35, 35?, 35?) configured so as to cooperate with complementary means of articulation (60) of another device (30) of the connecting system (16), known as the second device, in order to define at least one means of attachment and pivoting about an axis (Y) of rotation of said first device (26, 26?, 26?) in relation to said second device (30), said means of articulation (35, 35?, 35?) of said first device (26, 26?, 26?) comprising a ball-and-socket connection of at least partially spherical, ellipsoidal or ovoidal shape, said first device (26, 26?, 26?) being characterized in that it comprises only a single ball-and-socket connection of at least partially spherical, ellipsoidal or ovoidal shape.
