  • Publication number: 20110113580
    Abstract: The invention relates to a windscreen wiper system, particularly for a motor vehicle. The system comprises a wiper blade (4) hinged to a drive arm (1) via an adaptor (2) connected to the arm (1) and to a hydraulic connector (3), which in turn is connected to the blade (4) and comprises at least one inlet coupling (6) designed to be coupled to a cleaning and de-icing fluid feed (5). The system also comprises a rigid joining part (7, 8), one end of which is coupled to the inlet coupling (6), and the other end of which is intended to be coupled to the fluid feed (5). In this way, the connection between the fluid feed (5) and the connector is made secure and reliable. In addition, the joining part provides an offset which makes connecting and disconnecting easier for the user, particularly when the user wishes to change a worn blade, and enables the whole of the connection to be concealed more easily and then given a more attractive appearance.

  • Publication number: 20110107541
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic connector, particularly for a motor vehicle windscreen wiper system. The connector is designed to be mounted on a wiper blade fitted with a perforated pipe carrying cleaning and de-icing fluid, and comprises at least one inlet coupling suitable for connection to a fluid feed, and at least one distributor provided with at least one outlet coupling designed to be connected to the perforated pipe. The connector also includes at least one internal path for carrying the fluid from the inlet coupling to the distributor. Thus, by means of the presence of the internal path through the connector, the inlet coupling can be positioned at various locations on the connector, without feeding directly into the distributor.
