  • Patent number: 5926906
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wind deflector for fastening to the main bracket of a wiper blade with openings in its spine, whereby fastening is accomplished with first fastening sections for screwing and additional second fastening sections for locking at the side wall of the main bracket that is in front in the direction of travel. Second fastening sections are in each case made from two surfaces that face one another a short distance apart and are connected to one another at the upper edge, one surface of which has a catching projection at the lower edge which can engage under the lower edge of the side wall of the main bracket. To increase the strength or stability of second fastening section or the connection of wind deflector and the wiper blade, one of the two walls of fastening section is wider, at least at its lower edge, than the other and in each case has a catching projection in the laterally projecting areas.

  • Patent number: 5647088
    Abstract: A wiper which may be enhanced with a wind guide device in which the wiper has a support bracket system to accommodate and guide a wiper strip. Two subordinated brackets are positioned in a swivel bearing via a joint pin or joint bolt, resp., such that they may be rotated. The ends of the joint pin or the joint bolt, resp., project from the outside of the side walls of the primary bracket and form stop bars. The wind guide device is equipped with two mounting brackets which overreach the primary bracket in the range of the swivel bearing and may be attached reversibly on the stop bars while correspondingly designed recesses in the side walls of the mounting brackets accommodate the stop bars.
