Abstract
A wiper adapter includes a base and a shielding cover. The base has a top wall, a pair of side walls, and a pair of bottom walls. Two sides of the top wall respectively include a limiting wall extending upward. A width of the lateral L-shaped structure along a transverse direction is smaller than a width of one of the bottom walls along the transverse direction. The at least one lateral L-shaped structure is configured to stop a displacement of a wiper arm. Each bottom wall has at least one lower L-shaped structure that is configured to stop a displacement of another wiper arm. A receiving slot is formed between the shielding cover and the base, and is configured to receive yet another wiper arm. The shielding cover is connected to a front end of the pair of side walls to stop a displacement of the wiper arm.

A wiper adapter, comprising:
- a base having a top wall, a pair of side walls, and a pair of bottom walls, the pair of side walls being respectively connected to two sides of the top wall along a longitudinal direction, the pair of bottom walls being respectively connected to a bottom of the pair of side walls in a lateral direction, the two sides of the top wall each including a limiting wall extending upward, wherein a transverse through hole passes through the pair of side walls and is located at a central position of the wiper adapter;
- and
- wherein at least one of the side walls includes a first side-positioning member, a second side-positioning member, and a third side-positioning member, respectively having a first L-shaped configuration, the first side-positioning member is formed adjacent to a front end of the top wall, the third side-positioning member is formed adjacent to a rear end of the top wall, the second side-positioning member is arranged between the first side-positioning member and the second side-positioning member;
- wherein a front limiting space is defined between the first side-positioning member and the second side-positioning member, and a rear limiting space is defined between the second side-positioning member and the third side-positioning members;
- wherein at least one of the bottom walls includes a first lower-positioning member, a second lower-positioning member, and a third lower-positioning member, respectively having a second L-shaped configuration, the second lower-positioning member is arranged below the first side-positioning member, the first lower-positioning member is arranged before the second lower-positioning member, and the third lower-positioning member is arranged below the third side-positioning member;
- wherein a lower holding groove is defined between the second lower-positioning member and the third lower-positioning member;
- wherein each of the L-shaped configurations forms an included angle of 90 degrees;
- said L-shaped configurations are arranged in an interrelated manner to cooperatively define multiple limiting spaces configured to accommodate wiper arms having at least two distinct cross-sectional profiles, so as to enhance axial stability and adaptability without requiring interchangeable components;
- a shielding cover connecting to a front end of the pair of side walls, a receiving slot being formed between the shielding cover and the base, wherein the receiving slot is configured to stop a displacement of the wiper arms having a top wall.
