Wiper blade having hydraulic connector

Abstract

The invention relates to a wiper blade 3 for a motor vehicle, including at least one wiping blade secured to at least one device for stiffening 14 the wiping blade and to which is attached at least one mechanical connector 15 suitable for connecting the wiper blade 3 to an arm, the wiper blade 3 including at least one element 8 in which is provided at least one pipe 9 capable of channelling a liquid and a hydraulic connector 13 communicating at least with the pipe 9 and immediately adjacent to the mechanical connector 15, characterised in that the hydraulic connector 3 includes at least one securing means 16 engaging at least with the stiffening device 14. The invention is useful in motor vehicles.

Description

technical field

[0001] The field of the invention is that of vehicle equipment, more particularly that of motor vehicle windscreen wiping equipment. The invention relates to a wiper suitable for wiping the windscreen or rear window of a motor vehicle. Background technique

[0002] Motor vehicles are conventionally equipped with windshield wiper systems for washing and wiping the windshield and preventing interference with the driver's view of his environment. These windscreen wipers are traditionally driven by a wiper arm effecting an angular reciprocating motion and comprise an elongated blade carrying a wiper blade made of an elastic material. These wiper blades rub against the windshield and expel the water, removing it from the driver's field of vision. These blades are manufactured in traditional versions as articulated swing arms that hold the wiper blades in separate positions, or in the more recent so-called "flat blade" versions as semi-rigid components.

Embodiment Construction

[0034] In the rest of the description, the terms longitudinal and lateral refer to the orientation of the wiper according to the invention. The longitudinal direction corresponds to the main axis of the wiper along which the wiper extends, the lateral orientation corresponds to parallel straight segments, i.e. crossing the longitudinal direction, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wiper in the plane of rotation of the wiper straight line segment. For the longitudinal direction, the terms outer and inner are understood relative to the point at which the wiper is fixed to the arm, the term inner corresponding to the part where the arm and half the wiper extend. Finally, the direction referred to as up or down corresponds to an orientation perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the wiper, the term down encompassing the plane of the windshield.

[0035] First refer to figure 1 , a wiper system can be seen comprising a wiper support or arm 1 at the out...
