## Abstract

The invention relates to a wiper blade adapter system comprising a wiper blade adapter (10) of a jointless wiper blade (12), said adapter being provided for coupling to a wiper arm adapter (14) of at least one first size. The wiper blade adapter system has at least one intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) that is provided for coupling to the wiper blade adapter (10) and for coupling to a wiper arm adapter (22, 24, 26) of at least one second size.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wiper blade adapter system comprising a wiper blade adapter (10) of a jointless wiper blade (12), said adapter being configured to be coupled to a wiper arm adapter (14) of at least one first size, characterized by at least one intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) that is configured to be coupled to the wiper blade adapter (10) and is configured to be coupled to a wiper arm adapter (22, 24, 26) of at least one second size.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 1, characterized in that the intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20), when coupled to the wiper blade adapter, encloses the wiper blade adapter (10) in at least two directions.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 1, characterized in that the intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20), when coupled to the wiper blade adapter, encloses the wiper blade adapter (10) in at least three directions.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 1, characterized in that the intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) has at least one side wall (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) which forms at least one raised section (40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50).

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 4, characterized in that the at least one raised section (40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50) of the at least one side wall (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38) is designed as vertical struts.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The wiper blade adapter system at least according to claim 4, characterized in that the at least one side wall (28, 32, 36) of the intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) comprises a receiving area (52, 54, 56) which, in an assembled state, is provided to receive a fastening element (58).

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 1, characterized in that the intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) has at least one central piece (60, 62, 64) which delimits said intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) in a direction of the wiper arm adapter (22, 24, 26).

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 7, characterized in that the central piece (60, 62, 64) is formed by three connecting struts (66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82) which connect the at least one side wall (28, 32, 36) and a further side wall (30, 34, 38) of the intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) to one another.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The wiper blade adapter system according to claim 6, characterized in that the wiper blade adapter (10) for connecting to the wiper arm adapter (14) comprises at least one receiving area (86) which is configured to receive the fastening element (58).

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

An intermediate adapter (16, 18, 20) of a wiper blade adapter system according to claim 1.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A wiper blade system comprising a jointless wiper blade (12) and comprising a wiper blade adapter system according to claim 1.
