  • Publication number: 20110099743
    Abstract: A windshield wiper includes a blade assembly, which has a primary frame member having opposite ends to which secondary frame members are respectively connected. The primary frame member forms a central opening delimited by two side walls. A retain carrying a positioning bar is received in the opening. An arm coupler is received in the opening and has an inner wall section and an outer wall section through which mounting holes are defined. Fixing pawls extend downward from the inner wall section to engage the retainer for fixing the arm coupler. The mounting holes serve to couple to a wiper arm of a vehicle for driving reciprocal motion of the windshield wiper. The arm coupler can be mounted to the primary frame member in different directions so that the windshield wiper is suitable for both left hand drive vehicles and right hand drive vehicles.

  • Patent number: 7921504
    Abstract: A windshield wiper includes a primary frame member and secondary frame members coupled to the primary frame member. The primary frame member is in the form of an inverted U-shape and includes end portions in which mounting holes are formed. Each secondary frame member has symmetrically arranged wall plates and a positioning section formed between and slightly projecting beyond the wall plates. Each wall plate forms open-ended slots that are symmetrically arranged. A boss is formed on an inside surface of each wall plate between the open-ended slots. The primary frame member has side plates that are fit over the positioning section of the secondary frame member to have the wall plates of the secondary frame member covering and clamping the vertical side walls of the primary frame member. The bosses are fit into the mounting holes of the primary frame member.

  • Patent number: 7395577
    Abstract: A universal connection device mainly contains a cover member having two opposing and parallel walls. The height of each wall decreases gradually towards a front end in a front section and decreases more sharply towards a back end in a back section. Within a middle section between the front and back sections, each wall has a number of through holes of different apertures and a number of protrusions on the inner surface. On top of and between the front sections of the two walls, a liftable tab is provided. The connection device further contains an elongated piece attached to one of the walls of the cover member. The piece has a curved outer surface and a rod on an inner surface for embedding into one of the holes of the cover member.
