Abstract
A motor vehicle wiper including a wiper blade which is articulated to the longitudinal end of a wiper arm via a connector which is articulated on the arm and fixed over a linking portion of the blade, and wherein the linking portion includes two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges and a transverse element extending between the two flanges and designed to cooperate with a mobile lock borne by the connector for fixing the connector on the blade. The invention is characterized in that the lock is articulated on the connector between a locking position and an unlocking position.
Claims22
A motor vehicle wiper wherein a wiper blade is articulated to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm by a connector articulated on the arm and fixed over a linking portion of the blade, wherein the linking portion includes two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges, and a transverse element extending between the two flanges and co-operating with a mobile lock carried by the connector for fixing the connector on the blade, characterized in that the lock is pivoted on the connector between a locking position and an unlocking position.
A motor vehicle wiper wherein a wiper blade is articulated to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm by a connector articulated on the arm and fixed over a linking portion of the blade, wherein the linking portion includes two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges, and a transverse element extending between the two flanges and co-operating with a mobile lock carried by the connector for fixing the connector on the blade, characterized in that the lock is articulated on the connector between a locking position and an unlocking position, and the lock is articulated on the connector around a transverse axis.
A motor vehicle wiper wherein a wiper blade is articulated to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm by a connector articulated on the arm and fixed over a linking portion of the blade, wherein the linking portion includes two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges, and a transverse element extending between the two flanges and co-operating with a mobile lock carried by the connector for fixing the connector on the blade, characterized in that the lock is articulated on the connector between a locking position and an unlocking position, and the transverse element is formed by a plate element that extends between the two flanges and is equipped with a longitudinal slit formed in a front transversal edge of the plate element and that, in the unlocking position of the lock, a hooked lug extends opposite from the slit and that, in the locking position, the hooked lug co-operates by pushing against an abutment face of the plate element that is longitudinally arranged behind the slit.
A motor vehicle wiper wherein a wiper blade is articulated to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm by a connector articulated on the arm and fixed over a linking portion of the blade, wherein the linking portion includes two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges, and a transverse element extending between the two flanges and co-operating with a mobile lock carried by the connector for fixing the connector on the blade, characterized in that the lock is articulated on the connector between a locking position and an unlocking position, and the lock includes an elastic lug that extends substantially in a circular arc around an articulation axis of the lock and that includes a cam surface that, when the lock is between the locking and unlocking positions, co-operates with a fixed surface of the connector in order to elastically deform the lug.
A motor vehicle wiper comprising:
- an articulated wiper blade pivotally connected to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm;
- a connector positioned over a linking portion of the blade, the linking portion having two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges;
- a transverse element extending between the two flanges of the linking portion;
- and
- a mobile lock carried by the connector and operably associated with the linking portion of the blade for connecting the connector with the blade, the lock pivoting on the connector between locked and unlocked positions.

- an articulated wiper blade pivotally connected to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm;
- a connector positioned over a linking portion of the blade, the linking portion having two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges;
- a transverse element extending between the two flanges of the linking portion;
- and
- a mobile lock carried by the connector and operably associated with the linking portion of the blade for connecting the connector with the blade, the lock pivoting on the connector between locked and unlocked positions, and the lock is articulated on the connector around a transverse axis.
A motor vehicle wiper comprising:
- an articulated wiper blade pivotally connected to a longitudinal end of a wiper arm;
- a connector positioned over a linking portion of the blade, the linking portion having two substantially longitudinal and parallel lateral flanges;
- a transverse element extending between the two flanges of the linking portion, the transverse element formed by a plate element having a longitudinal slit formed therein, the plate extending between the two flanges of the wiper blade;
- a mobile lock carried by the connector and operably associated with the linking portion of the blade for connecting the connector with the blade, the lock pivoting on the connector between locked position and unlocked positions;
- and
- a hooked lug extending apart from the plate in the unlocked position and the hooked lug engaging an abutment face of the plate element in the locked position.
