Abstract
The invention relates to a first part (12) and a second part (13) of an end piece (11) for a windshield wiper comprising at least one wiper blade (1). The first part (12) has a cavity (22) for accommodating the wiper blade (1), said cavity (22) extending along a longitudinal axis. The first part (12) also has a region that is arranged laterally in relation to the longitudinal axis and accommodates the second part (13) of the end piece (11), said region (14) comprising a tubular section (31). The second part (13) also has an attachment means for mechanically connecting the second part (13) to the region of the first part (12). The attachment means represents at least one hollow tubular portion, the periphery of which has a slit.
Claims11
A wiper assembly comprising:
- a wiper blade extending lengthwise along a first axis;
- and
- an end fitting of the wiper blade consisting of a primary part configured to cooperate with a secondary part, the primary part comprising:
- a recess that is able to receive the wiper blade and extends along a longitudinal axis to be aligned with the first axis of the wiper blade when the wiper blade is received by the recess;
- and
- a zone formed laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis and receiving the secondary part of the end fitting, said zone comprising a tubular sector that protrudes from and connects at least two opposing surfaces of the primary part in a primary direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, the tubular sector having a circular cross section orthogonal to the primary direction,
- wherein at least one blocking means, separate from the tubular sector, is provided and configured to plug a liquid channeling device that is a constituent part of a support to which the wiper blade is attached.
A wiper assembly, comprising:
- a wiper having at least one wiper blade extending lengthwise along a first axis;
- and
- an end fitting of the wiper with a primary part and a secondary part, the primary part comprising:
- a recess that is able to receive the wiper blade and extends along a longitudinal axis to be aligned with the first axis of the wiper blade when the wiper blade is received by the recess;
- and
- a zone formed laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis and receiving the secondary part of the end fitting, said zone comprising a tubular sector that protrudes from a surface of the primary part in a primary direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, the tubular sector having a circular cross section orthogonal to the primary direction;
- and
- the secondary part being separate from a support of the wiper to which the wiper blade is attached, comprising:
- a locking means able to immobilize the wiper blade with respect to the primary part that is a constituent part of the end fitting;
- and
- a fastening means mechanically connecting the secondary part to the zone of the primary part, wherein the fastening means is at least one hollow tubular portion, the periphery of which has a slot extending along an axis which is parallel to the primary direction when the slot engages the tubular sector of the primary part, along a secondary direction which is perpendicular to the primary direction of the tubular sector,
- wherein at least one blocking means, separate from the tubular sector, is provided and configured to plug a liquid channeling device that is a constituent part of the wiper.
