US 2002/0152575 A1 · Wiper arm having cover

Abstract

An arm head has a couple of hinge holes. A cover has a couple of hinge projections. The arm head and the cover are hingedly connected to each other through the hinge holes and the hinge projections. A rotation guide extends radially outwardly from each hinge hole. A protrusion protrudes radially outwardly from each hinge projection and is received in the rotation guide. A locking projection extends from the rotation guide. The locking projection is spaced from an opening movement limiting end of the rotation guide for a distance, which is substantially the same as a width of the protrusion of the hinge projection.
