Publication number: 20250042366Abstract: The invention concerns an endpiece of a windshield wiper for a motor vehicle, the shape and dimensions of which make it possible to guarantee efficient aerodynamic support up to the end of the wiper blade against a glass surface for a motor vehicle that is to be wiped/cleaned. This efficient aerodynamic support is obtained in particular due to a curved shape of the guiding profile along which extends the deflection device located above the hollow body, the curved shape of the guide profile being oriented towards a front side wall of the endpiece according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2022Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: VALEO SYSTEMES D'ESSUYAGEInventors: Gérald CAILLOT, Philippe BILLOT, Vincent IZABEL
