Abstract: The present invention relates to an adapter assembly for a vehicle wiper system. The adapter assembly includes a spacer member releasably mounted on a base member. The spacer member includes flanks spaced apart from each other and connected to each other by an upper wall. The spacer member further includes two longitudinal lugs adapted to be received in corresponding slots of a yoke of a wiper arm. The spacer member includes a flexible cantilever having a button, and a bearing tab provided below the button such that a push-button of the base member may be locked to the bearing tab. The button of the spacer member may be received in a cut-out of the yoke and may facilitate the unlocking of the push-button. The spacer member makes the adapter assembly compatible with the wiper arm having the yoke design including side walls and a top wall having the cut-out.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adapter assembly for a wiper system. The adapter assembly includes a spacer member releasably mounted on a base member. The spacer member includes side walls having stud that are received in corresponding orifices provided in longitudinal walls of the base member, to mount and secure the spacer member on the base member. The spacer member further includes a flexible leg provided on its upper wall for receiving and locking the yoke of the wiper arm with the spacer member. The flexible leg includes a vertically deformable cantilever portion having a locking tab adapted to allow the yoke to slide over the spacer member and lock the yoke with the spacer member. Thus, the spacer member makes the adapter assembly compatible with the wiper arm having a cut-out in the yoke, more specifically a cut-out in a top wall of the yoke.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adapter assembly for a vehicle wiper system. The adapter assembly includes a base member pivotally mounted on a connector of a wiper blade, a platform member connected to a rear end of the base member, and a locking cap pivotally connected to a front end of the base member. The base member includes a guiding tab formed near front end to guide and support a front end of a wiper arm. The base member further includes a seating tab to support side walls of the wiper arm. The platform member includes an inverted L-shaped locking feature formed on outer surfaces of side walls of the platform member, to restrict vertically upward and longitudinally rearward movement of the wiper arm with respect to the adapter assembly. The locking cap may be locked on the base member by a securing means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adapter assembly for a vehicle wiper system. The adapter assembly includes a base member, a tilting member, a locking cap and a spacer. The base member is pivotally mounted on a connector of a wiper blade, and the tilting member is pivotally mounted at rear end of the base member. The spacer is mounted on the tilting member allowing connection of wiper arms with different designs with the adapter assembly. The spacer includes a flexible tab provided near lower face, which deforms while sliding the wiper arm on the spacer for engagement. When the wiper arm is completely slid over the spacer, the flexible tab comes back to neutral state to cooperate with folded edges of the wiper arm and restricts rearward movement of the arm with respect to the spacer.

Abstract: A blank for manufacturing a packaging device for at least one windshield wiper blade is disclosed. The blank is of elongate shape and comprises at least the first and second adjacent longitudinal zones. Each of the at least first and second longitudinal zones is configured to form a longitudinal face of the packaging device. The first and second longitudinal zones are respectively articulated at each of their ends to first and second end zones via a transverse fold line. The first and second end zones are able to form respectively first and second substantially transverse flaps of the packaging device. The longitudinal length of the first end zone is greater than that of the second end zone and the first flap is configured to be formed before the second flap.

Abstract: A packaging for a windscreen wiper blade, comprising a front face, a rear face, an assembly flap extending from one of said front and rear faces and configured to be permanently attached to the other of said front and rear faces, said front face and rear face being laminated to each other at at least one of a first longitudinal extremity and a second longitudinal extremity, forming a tab.

Abstract: Adapter (26) for a windscreen wiper, in particular a motor vehicle windscreen wiper, said adapter being intended to connect a wiper blade to an end part (28) of a driving arm, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section, said adapter comprising a body configured to be inserted into said end part such that said body extends at least in part between two substantially parallel lateral legs (32a, 32b) of the end part, characterized in that said adapter also comprises two substantially parallel lateral walls (52a, 52b) which extend on either side of said body and which are spaced apart laterally from said body in order to allow the lateral legs of the end part to be fitted between said body and said lateral walls, and in that the lateral spacings between the body and said lateral walls are designed to receive at least two end parts (28) of arms having different lateral dimensions.
