  • Patent number: 9352725
    Abstract: A connecting arrangement for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm for a windscreen wiper system of a vehicle. An adaptor for holding the wiper blade is fitted onto the wiper arm in an installation direction running transversely with respect to a wiping surface definable by the wiping movement of the wiper blade. The connecting arrangement includes a securing element designed as a sliding latch arranged on the wiper arm. The sliding latch, which has a U-profile in cross section, serves for the positionally secured holding of the adaptor on the wiper arm, and the sliding latch is displaceable along the wiper arm from an installation position into a functional position securing the adaptor. The sliding latch has a back and two limbs, and at least one projection engaging around the wiper arm on the lower side is arranged on the limbs of the sliding latch.

  • Publication number: 20130257107
    Abstract: A wiper blade for a windscreen wiper of a motor vehicle includes a clamp for fixing a wiping element that wipes the screen during the wiping operation of the windscreen wiper. The clamp has a base plate with at least one contact element. The contact element is to be brought against a water deflector that restricts the wiping movement of the wiper blade during the wiping operation. The contact element is a cushioning element, which has a higher level of flexibility than the base plate.

  • Patent number: 5791616
    Abstract: The retractable holder for two drink containers, for example, in a dashboard of a motor vehicle, includes a slide element (16) provided with an insertion opening (38) for a first drink container. With the slide element (16) pulled out, a swiveling part (42) provided with an insertion opening (46) for a second drink container can be swiveled sideways out of the slide element (16). So that the holder can be reduced in width, the two insertion openings (38, 46) are open along one section of their circumference. When the swiveling part (42) is accommodated in the slide element (16), the open section is completed by or circumferentially closed by a swiveling arm (40) that is mounted on the swiveling part (42), which swiveling arm (40) swivels out sideways.
