Abstract
A windshield wiper system includes a pivoting wiper arm (110), a wiper blade (120) for wiping a surface (102), and a connector assembly (130) coupling the pivoting wiper arm (110) to the wiper blade (120). The connector system (130) includes a first connecting member (140) directly coupled to the wiper arm (110) and a second connecting member (150) directly coupled to the wiper blade (120). The first connecting member (140) and the second connecting member (150) are movably coupled to each other, wherein a position of the first connecting member (140) relative to the second connecting member (150) is based on an angular position of the pivoting wiper arm (110).
