  • Patent number: 11577699
    Abstract: A windscreen wiper device comprising an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, a connecting device, a mounting head, and a longitudinal strip-shaped arm. The wiper blade is adapted to be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one groove in which an elastic, elongated carrier element is disposed. The connecting device is connected to the wiper blade. The mounting head transfers a reciprocal movement to the wiper blade. The longitudinal strip-shaped arm has a first end detachably connected to the mounting head through a snapping operation and a second end detachably connected to the connecting device through a snapping operation. The arm is made of a resilient material and is biased to exert a pressure onto the wiper blade towards the windscreen to be wiped.

  • Patent number: 10682985
    Abstract: A wiper (14) for wiping a window pane (12) of a motor vehicle is provided, having a drive shaft (16) that can be driven by a motor, and a wiper lever (18) connected to the drive shaft (16) for moving a wiper blade. The wiper lever (18) is flexibly bendable. A maximum bending angle (20) of the wiper lever (18) around a bending axis extending perpendicular to the drive shaft (16) is limited by a limit stop (32) to bending of the wiper lever (18) in the range of elastic deformation. The limit stop (32) makes stop contact at the maximum bending angle (20) and can keep the deformation of the wiper lever (18) reliably in the range of elastic deformation, thus reducing the risk of damage to wipers (14).

  • Publication number: 20190168437
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a corrugated tube that has, at least in sections, first outer wall regions with a first external diameter and second outer wall regions with a second external diameter that alternate in a wave-shaped manner. The first external diameter is greater than the second external diameter. The corrugated tube is produced by a plastic vacuum/blow molding process in a plastic vacuum/blow mold with a corrugator (1). One or more openings are made in at least some of the first outer wall regions. The openings are made in at least some of the first outer wall regions of the corrugated tube during the plastic vacuum/blow molding process within the corrugator (1).
