Wiper blade connector

A wiper blade connector for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm, comprising:

• an adaptor secured to an end of the wiper arm;
• a base secured to the wiper blade;
• a locking member operatively mounted to one of the adaptor and the base and movable relative to the one of the adaptor and the base between a locked position and an unlocked position, the adaptor secured to the base via the locking member in the locked position, the adaptor detachable from the base in the unlocked position;
• a user-engageable member operatively connected to the locking member, the user-engageable member movable to move the locking member from the locked position to the unlocked position to detach the adaptor from the base,
• wherein the base includes a top wall defining at least one aperture having a first portion and a second portion of a lesser width than that of the first portion, the adaptor having a housing defining at least one L-shaped protrusion protruding transversally from a bottom wall of the housing, the at least one L-shaped protrusion having a web and a tab extending transversally to the web, the tab receivable within the first portion of the at least one aperture,
• wherein the adaptor is movable relative to the base in a first direction being perpendicular to the top wall until the tab is received through the first portion of the at least one aperture, and movable in a second direction transverse to the first direction until the web is received within the second portion of the at least one aperture and until the tab is underneath the top wall thereby preventing movements of adaptor relative to the base in the first direction, and
• wherein the locking member is received within a cavity of the base, the locking member having at least one projection in abutment against a stopper of the housing of the adaptor to prevent movement of the adaptor relative to the housing in the second direction.
