  • Device for a screen wiping system of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 12252100
    Abstract: An apparatus for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm for a screen wiping system of a motor vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes an adapter that is connectable to the wiper blade; a receiving element that is connectable to the wiper arm and has an adapter opening for receiving the adapter. The adapter has at least two locking regions which can be deformed with respect to one another and are configured to lock the adapter to the receiving element in a locking position. The apparatus also includes an actuator for unlocking the locking regions, wherein, in an unlocking position, the actuator engages into an engagement opening of the receiving element and, in the process, the two locking regions are deformed with respect to one another by the actuator in such a way that the adapter can be removed through the adapter opening.
