Abstract
Fixing device (30) for a windscreen wiper actuation linkage system, this device comprising a plate (32) intended to be fixed onto a vehicle body (36), and at least one locking member (34) intended to cooperate with said body to lock the fixing of the plate onto the body, characterized in that said plate is configured to be displaced in translation in the joint plane with said body, and in that said locking member is mobile, deformable or displaceable from an unlocking position to a locking position.
Claims20
A fixing device for a windscreen wiper actuation linkage system, this device comprising:
- a plate configured to be fixed onto a vehicle body;
- and
- at least one locking member borne by said plate or added thereto and that cooperates with said body to lock the fixing of the plate onto the body,
- said plate comprising at least one protruding element or hollowed element that cooperates by engagement with a complementary element of said body when the plate is mounted and bearing on said body, in a joint plane P,
- wherein said plate and said at least one protruding or hollowed element that it bears are configured to be displaced in translation in the joint plane P, from a first position of engagement/disengagement of said elements, to a blocking second position in which a travel of separation of the plate from the body is prevented or limited, in a direction at right angles to said joint plane, and
- wherein said locking member is mobile, deformable or displaceable from an unlocking position in which said plate can be displaced between the first position and the second position, and vice versa, to a locking position in which said member is configured to cooperate with said body to immobilise said plate in the second position.
