Abstract
The invention concerns a motor vehicle windscreen wiper wherein a wiper blade is articulated at the longitudinal front end of a wiper arm about a horizontal transverse axis (A1) via a connector which is articulated on the blade, wherein the connector comprises articulating means borne by two parallel longitudinal flanks between which the blade is houses, the connector articulation means co-operating with the blade matching means. The connector flanks are housed in two lateral flanges of the end of the arm, and the connector comprises a safety thruster, with a button received in the slot of the arm to block the connector longitudinally relative to the arm, extended by a safety latch co-operating with locking elastic means.
Claims13
A motor vehicle wiper, wherein a wiper blade is articulated at a front longitudinal end of a wiper arm, around a horizontal transversal axis, via an intermediary of a connector which is articulated on the blade, characterized by the connector containing articulation means carried by two parallel longitudinal flanges between which is housed the blade, the articulation means cooperating with complementary means of the blade, the flanges of the connector being housed between two lateral flanges of the front end of the wiper arm, and wherein the connector includes a safety thruster, presenting a button, housed in an slot of the wiper arm in order to longitudinally block the connector in relation to the wiper arm, extended by a safety latch cooperating with elastic locking means, able to be freed by pressure exerted on the button.
A motor vehicle wiper comprising:
- a wiper arm;
- a wiper blade with a binding, said wiper blade articulatable at one end of the wiper arm;
- and
- a connector articulatingly communicating with the wiper blade, said connector having a safety thruster defined by a button housed in a slot in the wiper arm, said safety thruster having an extending safety latch cooperating with elastic locking means for releasing said wiper blade from the arm by pressure exerted on the button;
- wherein the elastic locking means is a helical spring extending an axial length of the safety latch, said spring pushing against a bent portion of the wiper blade and positioned opposite the safety latch.
A motor vehicle wiper comprising:
- a wiper arm;
- a wiper blade with a binding, said wiper blade articulatable at one end of the wiper arm;
- and
- a connector articulatingly communicating with the wiper blade, said connector having a safety thruster defined by a button housed in a slot in the wiper arm, said safety thruster having an extending safety latch cooperating with elastic locking means for releasing said wiper blade from the arm by pressure exerted on the button wherein said binding has an opening with a diameter for receiving and holding the safety latch, and wherein said elastic locking means includes elastic legs which cooperate with the opening and safety latch to maintain an efficient locking to the blade.
A motor vehicle wiper comprising;
- a wiper arm;
- a wiper blade with a binding, said wiper blade articulatable at one end of the wiper arm;
- and
- a connector articulatingly communicating with the wiper blade, said connector having a safety thruster defined by a button housed in a slot in the wiper arm, said safety thruster having an extending safety latch cooperating with elastic locking means for releasing said wiper blade from the arm by pressure exerted on the button, wherein said connector has an articulation means carried by two parallel longitudinal flanges for receiving the blade therebetween and wherein the two parallel longitudinal flanges are disposed between two lateral flanges of the wiper arm.
