Abstract
The invention relates to an end piece (11) of a windshield wiper comprising at least one wiper blade (1). Said end piece (11) has a first part (12) and a second part (13) which are connected to each other by a removable attachment means, and a blocking means (28) for preventing the wiper blade (1) from moving relative to the end piece (11), said blocking means (28) comprising a securing device (33) and an actuating element (51). The securing device (33) is designed to pinch the wiper blade (1) and is subject to a force exerted by the actuating element (51). The end piece is for use in motor vehicles.
Claims16
An end fitting of a wiper having at least one wiper blade, the end fitting comprising:
- a primary part and a secondary part, the primary part and the secondary part being connected by a removable fastening means;
- and
- an immobilizing means that is able to prevent a movement of the wiper blade with respect to the end fitting, the immobilizing means comprising a coupling device and an actuating element, wherein said coupling device is configured to pinch a vertical portion of the wiper blade from opposed lateral sides of the wiper blade and wherein the coupling device is subjected to a force produced by the actuating element.
An end fitting of a wiper having at least one wiper blade, the end fitting comprising:
- a primary part and a secondary part, the primary part and the secondary part being connected by a removable fastening means;
- and
- an immobilizing means that is able to prevent a movement of the wiper blade with respect to the end fitting, the immobilizing means comprising a coupling device and an actuating element, said coupling device being designed to pinch a vertical portion the wiper blade and being subjected to a force produced by the actuating element,
- wherein the coupling device is formed by two branches which extend in parallel planes, the branches each having at least one tooth, and
- wherein the at least one tooth of one branch faces the at least one tooth of the other branch.
A wiper comprising at least one wiper blade and an end fitting, said end fitting comprising:
- a primary part and a secondary part, the primary part and the secondary part being connected by a removable fastening means;
- and
- an immobilizing means that is able to prevent a movement of the wiper blade with respect to the end fitting, the immobilizing means comprising a coupling device and an actuating element,
- wherein the coupling device is configured to pinch a vertical portion of the wiper blade from opposed sides of the wiper blade and
- wherein the coupling device is subjected to a force produced by the actuating element.
An end fitting of a wiper having at least one wiper blade, the end fitting comprising:
- a primary part and a secondary part, the primary part and the secondary part being connected by a removable fastening means;
- and
- an immobilizing means that is able to prevent a movement of the wiper blade with respect to the end fitting, the immobilizing means comprising a coupling device and an actuating element, said coupling device being designed to pinch the wiper blade and being subjected to a force produced by the actuating element,
- wherein the coupling device is formed by two branches which extend in parallel planes, the branches each having at least one tooth, the at least one tooth of one branch being offset with respect to the immediately adjacent tooth of the other of the two branches.
