Abstract: The invention seeks to provide an improved wiper blade assembly, and in a broad aspect provides a windscreen wiper blade assembly comprising at least a primary yoke and a pair of secondary yokes articulated thereto, the primary yoke and/or the secondary yokes being provided with at least one wind-deflecting surface, oriented in relation to the direction of motion of the vehicle so that when said vehicle is moving to create air flow over the windscreen, air is deflected by said surface or surfaces to produce a force tending to urge the wiper blade assembly towards the windscreen of the vehicle. And end cap is provided for accommodating the ends of the secondary yokes and the of the backing member and wiper blade rubber. A connector disposed within the primary yoke accommodates different size diameter pins of different sized wiper arms.

Two posts are provided which depend from an underside of the primary yoke to limit pivotal movement of the secondary yokes.

Abstract: An elongate wiper blade assembly comprises a yoke structure provided with a plurality of claw members, each claw member being designed to support a pair of backing strips each adapted to carry a wiper element,

Abstract: A dual wiper blade assembly for mounting on the end of a wiper arm and engaging a windshield has an elongated main yoke generally pivoted at a transverse central pivot on the wiper arm and having a pair of outer ends spaced longitudinally outward from the pivot, respective one-piece secondary yokes pivoted at outer axes on the outer ends of the main yoke and having inner and outer ends, and respective inner and outer mounts on the secondary-yoke ends for carrying a pair of parallel and transversely spaced wiper blades engageable against a windshield.

Abstract: A wiper blade assembly for mounting on the end of a wiper arm and engaging a windshield has a main yoke generally pivoted at a central pivot on the wiper arm and having a pair of outer ends, respective upper and lower secondary yokes pivoted at outer axes on the outer ends of the main yoke and having inner and outer ends, and respective tertiary yokes pivoted on the outer ends of the secondary yokes. The tertiary yokes have inner and outer ends formed as blade holders and the inner ends of the secondary yokes are also formed as blade holders. A wiper blade carried in the holders and engageable against a windshield. An outer wind-deflecting aerodynamic vane is carried on each secondary yoke between the respective outer end and the respective outer pivot and an inner wind-deflecting aerodynamic vane is carried on each secondary yoke between the respective inner end and the respective outer pivot.

Abstract: A metallic windscreen wiper connecting element comprising an elongate first part having screw connecting means for detachably connecting the first part to a straight wiper arm end portion having cooperating screw holes, a second part spaced from and generally parallel to the first part, detachably connectible to a wiper adaptor, and a reinforced connecting web joining the first and second parts.

Abstract: A wiper refill unit comprising a backing strip and a metallic end clip detachably connected to an end thereof, the end clip having an end wall with a forwardly extending projection therein and, extending forwardly from the end wall, a top wall comprising spaced apart resiliently deflectable legs and an attachment part with a downturned tab. The tab is inserted in an aperture adjacent one end of the backing strip and the latter is received in a space between the free end of the projection and the overlying end clip top wall.

Abstract: A refill unit for removable attachment to a wiper blade superstructure having a set of claw members. The refill unit comprises an elongate backing strip for carrying at least one flexible wiping element and having outwardly extending side flanges adapted to be slidably received by the claw members and a clip detachably securable at different selected positions along the length of the backing strip. The clip has spaced apart resiliently deflectable legs each of which has latching means with outwardly projecting feet interengageable with a selected one of a number of longitudinally spaced apart apertures formed in an elongate central portion of the backing strip between the side flanges thereof, such that the clip is not inadvertently dislodged from the strip.

Abstract: A wiper blade holder has a main yoke which is provided with a single through hole for selectively receiving either one of differently dimensioned pivot pins. In particular the pivot pins have latching means, e.g. in the form of annular recesses, with which first or second latches selectively interengage in dependence on which pivot pin is received in the through hole. To support a small diameter pivot pin within the through hole at least one bush is fitted within the hole to reduce the diameter of the latter.

Abstract: A wiper blade assembly comprising a primary yoke having a central portion with transverse socket means therein for receiving a pivot pin of a wiper arm of the side mounting type. A plastics latching member is located within a recess open to the topside or underside of the central portion and in communication with the pivot pin receiving socket. The latching member has protrusions at opposite ends which engage inwardly with engaging means in the recess to detachably retain the latching member within the recess.

Abstract: An adapter for mounting a blade assembly on a wiper arm comprises an adapter body formed with a transverse adapter-body hole through which the pin is engageable, a latch for releasably retaining the pin in the hole, and a mount securing the body on the assembly over the blade hole thereof. The body is of U-section and embraces the blade assembly at the blade hole. In addition the body has a pair of side walls that form the mount and that flank the blade assembly at the blade hole. These side walls are formed with aligned holes and the blade assembly has at the blade hole lateral projections engageable in aligned holes. The projections in turn are annular collars coaxial with the blade hole.

Abstract: A wiper blade assembly comprising a primary yoke having a central portion with a transverse socket therein for receiving a pivot pin of a wiper arm of the side mounting type. A plastics latching member is located within a recess open to the underside of the central portion and in communication with the pivot pin receiving socket. The latching member has a resiliently deflectable abutment member which is movable into or out of a latching position in which it is received within an annular recess formed in the pivot pin. Sideways extending projecting portions of the latching member are provided to facilitate movement of the abutment member.
