Windscreen wiper connector assembly for a vehicle

A windscreen wiper system comprising:

• a wiper arm,
• a wiper blade, and
• a wiper connector assembly, comprising:
• a wiper blade connector part;
• and
• a wiper arm connector part, wherein:
• one of the wiper arm connector part and the wiper blade connector part is a male connector and the other one a female connector for connecting the wiper blade connector part to the wiper arm connector part;
• and
• the male connector comprises:
• a biased protrusion extending from an exterior of the male connector in a radial direction of the male connector and having a visual indicator portion, and
• a user-operable arm configured to cooperate with the biased protrusion and having a tab portion reachable by a user from an outside of the male connector;
• wherein:
• the female connector defines an interior surface and comprises a groove disposed on the interior surface, the groove defining a groove path for the biased protrusion of the male connector and having a groove end comprising a through hole for the biased protrusion;
• the groove path having at least a first path section extending substantially in an axial direction and a subsequent second path section extending from the first path section and substantially in a circumferential direction along the interior surface of the female connector;
• and
• the male connector is connectable to the female connector by inserting a front end of the male connector in a receiving end of the female connector and displacing the biased protrusion in the first path section and subsequently in the second path section to the groove end, whereby the biased protrusion is permitted to move outwards in the radial direction, thereby fixating the male connector relative the female connector, while providing a visible indication of a fixation position to a user by the visual indicator portion;
• wherein the wiper arm is connected to the wiper blade by the wiper connector assembly.
