  • Patent number: 11702036
    Abstract: Closure element having two brackets which are substantially perpendicular or transverse with respect to one another. The closure element closes a ball socket, with the result that a pivot therein cannot be removed. To this end, it closes the opening of the ball socket. The ball socket and the pivot with the closure element form a secured ball joint which is used for wiping systems. The securing is carried out by the closure element being pushed onto the ball joint.

  • Patent number: 8181305
    Abstract: The invention relates to a windshield wiper device, particularly for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one wiper shaft (10). Prior art windshield wiper devices having predetermined breaking points exist in order to meet the high demands of pedestrian impact protection. However, the risk of these predetermined breaking points rupturing during the operation of the wiper exists in this type of windshield wiper device. In addition it cannot be guaranteed that the predetermined breaking point ruptures in the event of a pedestrian impact. Therefore, in the inventive windshield wiper device, the at least one wiper shaft (10) can be displaced under the action of a force.

  • Patent number: 7618077
    Abstract: A windshield wiper device with fastening points (16), by means of which the windshield wiper device is fastened to a body (14) of a motor vehicle. Until now windshield wiper systems were screwed or riveted to the vehicle body so that special tools and a relatively great amount of time are required. The aim of the invention is improving the windshield wiper device so that it can be mounted on the vehicle body more quickly and therefore more cost-effectively. As a result, according to the invention, at least one of the fastening points (16) can move towards the vehicle body (14) for mounting the windshield wiper device.

  • Publication number: 20080209661
    Abstract: A windscreen wiper device (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, is proposed. It comprises a wiper bearing (14) in which is arranged a wiper shaft (16) which is locked against axial displacement by means of a securing means (28). On account of the securing means (28), the wiper shaft (16) can therefore be displaced in the wiper bearing (14) only by means of an axial application of force, so that, if an object or a person impacts against the free end of the wiper shaft (16), the wiper shaft (16) can move away into the wiper bearing (14). According to the invention, it is provided that a locking element (40) in the wiper shaft (16) interacts with the securing means (28), the securing means (28) having extensions (42) which bend or break upon an axial application of force.

  • Patent number: 6675431
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tube mounting, in particular of a windshield wiper system of motor vehicles, having a mounting tube (12) which has a hollow profile that on at least one of its free ends (13, 14) has a plastic bearing (15) for receiving a wiper shaft, the bearing (15) being extruded onto the at least one free end (13) of the mounting tube (12). It is proposed that the mounting tube (12) is closed on its at least one free end (13) by a sealing plug (22), which prevents injection molding composition from entering and supports the mounting tube (12) from the inside against the injection pressure.
