Problems solved by technology

The end caps disclosed in this document have several disadvantages
[0004] Firstly, the locking means can be accidentally actuated which, in some cases, can lead to the disengagement of the cover from the wiper
Although it prevents access to the locking device, it does not actually prevent the locking device from moving
[0005] Second, the mechanical link between the support element of the wiper and the fixture is not sufficiently robust

Embodiment Construction

[0042] It should be pointed out at the outset that the accompanying drawings show the invention in detail to allow it to be practiced, and where appropriate these drawings can naturally be used to define the invention.

[0043] In the remainder of the description, the terms longitudinal or lateral, above, below, front and rear shall refer to the orientation of the end cap or wiper according to the invention. The longitudinal direction corresponds to the main axis of the wiper along which the wiper extends, whereas the lateral orientation corresponds to converging straight lines, ie lines straddling the longitudinal direction, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wiper in the plane of rotation of the wiper. For the longitudinal direction, the terms outer or inner are to be understood relative to the point of attachment of the wiper on the rotary drive arm of said wiper, the term inner corresponding to the part where the arm and one wiper half extend. Fina...

Abstract

The invention relates to an end cap for a vehicle window wiper. An end cap for a wiper of a window of a vehicle having at least one flexible supporting element and a blade design to be applied against the window is disclosed. The end cap includes a housing for receiving an end portion of the flexible supporting element. The end cap also has at least one means for locking the end portion of the flexible supporting element in an engaged position in the housing, and an outer wall delimiting the cap as well as an access orifice to the locking means, the locking means including a portion forming a longitudinal stop facing the flexible supporting element, a first face extending between the housing and the outer wall and a second face opposite the orifice. The locking means include an element that emerges at the junction between the first face and the portion and that extends at least longitudinally beyond the portion. The invention also relates to a wiper having a fixing device for the locking means used for the end cap, and the invention relates to a method for assembling the wiper. The end cap can be applied to the motor vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention is wipers for use in motor vehicles. The invention relates in particular to a cap assembled on the end of a wiper, and a method for assembling such a cap. The invention also relates to a wiper and a wiping system incorporating such a wiper. Background technique [0002] Motor vehicles are often equipped with wiper systems to wipe and wash the windshield and prevent the driver's view of the surrounding environment from being disturbed. These windscreen wipers are conventionally driven by an arm effecting angular reciprocating movement and may comprise an elongated wiper which in turn carries a wiper blade made of a resilient material. These blades rub against the windshield and clear the water out of the driver's field of vision. Wipers are made from hinged beams that hold the blade at a number of different points (in traditional versions), or from semi-rigid components that hold the blade along its entire length (in more r...
