Furthermore, a modular design can be achieved, which allows a variety of different designs to be produced by varying individual components.

[0004] Further advantageous developments and refinements of the features recited in the independent claim result from the measures recited in the dependent claims.

[0005] The term "wiper" should be understood in a broad sense. In particular, the wiper can be designed as a flat-bar wiper. Preferably, the wiper can be fastened to a wiper arm or a similar operating device of a wiper system, in particular a windshield wiper system. During operation, the wiper can wipe a window, in particular a windshield. However, the wiper can also be used in other applications. For example, the wiper can also wipe the rear window during operation.

[0010] Advantageously, at least one backing plate is provided and guided through at least one wiper element and the mounting adapter. The backing plate can further improve stability. In particular, an advantageous force transmission from the mounting adapter to other elements of the wiper can be achieved.

[0011] Advantageously, end caps are provided and the back sheet is guided at least partially through the end caps. This allows for secure fastening of the end caps and also ensures simple assembly.

[0012] Advantageously, a further end cap is provided and the back sheet is guided at least partially through the further end cap. This allows for a secure fastening of the further end cap and also ensures simple assembly.

[0013] Advantageously, at least one wiper element is configured with a spoiler. This allows for adaptation to the respective application. In particular, a high-performance wiper can be achieved, which also enables reliable wiping, particularly at high speeds.

[0014] Advantageously, end caps are provided and wind deflectors are formed on the end caps, so that the wiper power can be further optimized, especially under high-speed use.

[0015] Advantageously, another end cap is provided and a wind deflector is constructed on the other end cap. This makes it possible to further optimize the wiper power, particularly under high-speed use.

[0016] Advantageously, the wiper lip and the structural component are constructed in one piece. In this design, after the wiper lip wears out, the windshield wiper can be updated by replacing the structural component with the wiper lip.

[0017] Advantageously, the wiper lip and the structural component are constructed in the form of a coextruded component. This advantageously enables a one-piece design of the wiper lip and the structural component.

[0018] Advantageously, a wiper lip grip extending along the longitudinal extension is formed on the component, into which the wiper lip engages along the longitudinal extension. With this design, it is also possible to replace only the wiper lip if necessary. Thus, a new wiper lip can, for example, engage along the longitudinal extension in the wiper lip grip.

[0019] Advantageously, the structural component has a notch on its first longitudinal edge. This allows the flexibility of the wiper to be set in a targeted manner. This allows, for example, further optimization of the wiping power.

[0020] Advantageously, the structural component has a notch on its second longitudinal edge. This allows the flexibility of the wiper to be set in a targeted manner. This allows, for example, further optimization of the wiping power.

[0021] Advantageously, the notches on the first longitudinal edge of the structural component are spaced apart from one another at least approximately at a constant distance. This allows for a relatively uniform flexibility along the longitudinal extension. Furthermore, a symmetrical design of the structural component is possible.

This allows for a relatively uniform flexibility along the longitudinal extension. Additionally, a symmetrical design of the structural component is possible.

[0023] Advantageously, the notches on the first longitudinal edge of the structural component are spaced apart at intervals that increase or decrease along the longitudinal extension.

[0026] Advantageously, the notches on the second longitudinal side of the structural component are each configured with a notch width of equal size along the longitudinal extension, thereby enabling uniform bending properties to be set along the longitudinal extension.

[0027] Advantageously, the notch on the first longitudinal edge of the structural component is configured with a notch width that increases or decreases along the longitudinal extension. Additionally or alternatively, this is another possibility for setting uneven bending properties along the longitudinal extension in the respective application.

[0028] Advantageously, the notch on the second longitudinal edge of the structural component is configured along the longitudinal extension with a notch width that increases or decreases along the longitudinal extension. Additionally or alternatively, this is another possibility for setting uneven bending properties along the longitudinal extension in the respective application.

[0029] Depending on the design and usage, the following features and advantages may also be achieved.

[0030] A windshield wiper can be provided that allows for simple replacement of the wiper lip. This allows for a design that only requires replacing a portion of the wiper to replace the wiper lip. In one possible design, only the wiper lip can be replaced. In another possible design, the wiper lip can be replaced together with other components of the wiper, in particular structural components. This makes it possible to achieve a simple replacement that can be performed comfortably by a user, in particular a vehicle driver.

[0031] The windshield wiper can be designed so that it can be at least partially disassembled in a simple manner. Complete disassembly of the windshield wiper is also possible. The windshield wiper can also be designed so that it can be disassembled by the user, so that a visit to a workshop is not necessary.

[0032] The wiper can be designed so that it can be mounted on a wiper arm or the like as a whole and can be removed therefrom again. This can facilitate the replacement of the wiper lip.

[0033] The structural component can include other components of the windshield wiper on its longitudinal sides. In this case, the structural component can extend in the longitudinal direction along the longitudinal extension.

[0034] The wiper may include a fastening adapter, a first wiper element, a second wiper element, a first end cap, a second end cap, a back sheet, and a structural component. The first wiper element and the second wiper element may each have a deflector. The first end cap and the second end cap may each have a deflector.

[0035] The fastening adapter can be inserted or pushed onto the back sheet between the first wiper element and the second wiper element. In this case, the fastening adapter can be arranged at least approximately centrally between the first wiper element and the second wiper element. To this end, the first wiper element and the second wiper element can be designed to have the same length along their longitudinal extension. In particular, the first wiper element and the second wiper element can be designed identically. The wiper elements can be inserted onto the back sheet. Furthermore, the end caps can be inserted onto the ends of the back sheet.

[0036] The wiper can be designed as a flat-rod wiper. In this case, one or more backing plates can be provided. Wind deflectors can also be provided on the components of the wiper. The end cap, wiper element, and fastening adapter can each have guide rails or guide rail segments on their longitudinal edges, which engage when these components are aligned along their longitudinal extension. This way, the guide rails or guide rail segments are combined to form a guide rail, onto which the components can be plugged or pushed onto from both sides.

[0037] This design can be realized as, structural component can be disassembled in a simple manner and can be assembled again in some cases.This can realize simple replacement of structural component in relevant use situation, in particular replacement together with wiper lip.

[0038] This makes it possible to push the structural component onto the components plugged together by means of the backing sheet, in particular the wiper element, the fastening adapter and the end cap, while aligning the relevant components of the wiper in their longitudinal extension.

[0039] In the assembled state, the structural component can engage around the components that are inserted together by means of the back sheet at least substantially over their entire extension in the longitudinal direction.

[0040] The structural component and the wiper lip can perform two different functions and be designed accordingly. The wiper lip can be made of a soft material suitable for cleaning vehicle windows, particularly windshields. The structural component can be made of a material suitable for the required mechanical stability and rigidity. In particular, the structural component can be designed as a rigid structural component through material selection. This optimizes the mechanical stability of the wiper.

[0041] The structural component and the wiper lip are preferably designed as a coextruded component. In a variant design, the wiper lip can also be connected to the structural component in another manner. In one possible design, the wiper lip can also be connected to the structural component in a form-fitting manner. In particular, the wiper lip can be removed from the structural component and only the wiper lip can be replaced.

[0042] The windshield wiper can be easily disassembled (disassembled) and reassembled (assembled). A locking mechanism can be used for this purpose. In a preferred embodiment, a locking element, in particular a latching element, is provided on at least one end cap and engages in a recess in the component. This allows for easy release of the lock, allowing, for example, a user, in particular a vehicle driver, to easily remove the component. The locking element can be actuated, for example, by pressing. In a variant embodiment, the locking element can also be actuated by pulling. Other possibilities for actuating the locking element are also conceivable. For example, the locking element can also be designed as a slide.

[0043] In a design in which only one of the two end caps has a locking element, the end cap with the locking element can be arranged at one end or the other end of the wiper. In a wiper that is guided over the window pane by a rotational movement of the wiper arm, the end cap with the locking element can be located inside or outside, or on the outer or inner rim.

[0044] When the locking device is designed as a latching mechanism, the components can be automatically locked when they are in their predetermined relative position during assembly. The latching mechanism allows the latching element to snap into place in the recess. This snapping action can be combined with acoustic feedback to the user. This allows the user to intuitively and correctly reassemble the wiper after replacing the wiper lip.

[0045] During the joining process or in other words during the assembly process, the latching element is preferably under preload until it engages the recess. The wiper lip can then be replaced by pressing the latching element again.

[0046] In a variant design, the locking element can also be pulled to release the lock. In particular, the locking element can be designed so that the user can release the lock by pulling a button on the locking element. Even with this design, during the joining or assembly process, the locking element is preferably preloaded until it engages the notch.

[0047] In particular, the user can remove the latching element from the recess of the component by pressing or pulling and thereby release the lock, for example by bending the tongue, so that the latching element is under preload, which is important during assembly.

[0048] The notches for locking can be arranged on the structural component so that they point inwards.

[0049] The structural component can have a plurality of notches, which are used to influence the bending stiffness or the bending strength of the structural component and thus of the windshield wiper. This allows adjustments, particularly in the case of curved windows, to ensure that the windshield wiper rests at least substantially over its entire longitudinal extension.

[0050] In particular, the size, number, and arrangement of the notches can be adjusted according to the curvature of the backsheet. The notches can be distributed with a constant spacing or interval along the longitudinal extension. In one variant design, the spacing or interval is preferably increased or decreased. However, other variations are also possible.

[0051] In one possible design, the notches may have the same design, or at least the same notch width along the longitudinal extension.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to influence the bending properties along the longitudinal axis, the notches can also be designed with different geometries, in particular with different notch widths along the longitudinal extension. This allows, under certain circumstances, for variable bending stiffness along the longitudinal extension. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The windshield wiper 1 is particularly suitable for a motor vehicle windshield wiping system.

[0065] The windshield wiper 1 comprises a structural component 2 and a wiper lip 3. The wiper lip 3 is arranged on the structural component 2. The structural component 2 and the wiper lip extend along a longitudinal extension 4.

[0066] Furthermore, the windshield wiper 1 comprises wiper elements 5, 6 and a fastening adapter 7. In the present exemplary embodiment, for example, a first wiper element 5 and a second wiper element 6 are provided.

[0067] The structural component 2 can be fastened to the wiper elements 5, 6 and the fastening adapter 7. The structural component 2 has a first longitudinal side 8 and a second longitudinal side 9, which extend at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal extension 4. The structural component 2 surrounds the wiper elements 5, 6 and the fastening adapter 7 arranged between the wiper elements 5, 6 with its first longitudinal side 8 and its second longitudinal side 9.

[0068] Furthermore, the windshield wiper 1 has at least one back sheet 10. In the present exemplary embodiment, exactly one back sheet 10 is provided. The back sheet 10 is guided through the first wiper element 5, then the fastening adapter 7 and then the second wiper element 6.

[0069] This ensures a high stability of the connection between the components comprising the wiper elements 5 , 6 , the fastening adapter 7 , the rear end 10 and the structural component 2 .

[0070] In the present embodiment, the windshield wiper 1 comprises an end cap 15 and a further end cap 16. As seen along the longitudinal extension 4, the end cap 15 engages the first wiper element 5 from the outside. In the assembled state, the component 2 also surrounds the end cap 15 with its first longitudinal edge 8 and its first longitudinal edge 9.

[0071] The further end cap 16 adjoins the second wiper element 6 from the outside, viewed along the longitudinal extension 4. In the assembled state, the component 2 also surrounds and engages the further end cap 16 with its first longitudinal edge 8 and its first longitudinal edge 9. Thus, the end cap 15 and the further end cap 16 are arranged at the ends of the wiper 1 facing away from each other.

[0072] A connection can also be provided between the back sheet 10 and the end caps 15, 16. In this case, the back sheet 10 is guided at least partially through the end caps 15. In the present embodiment, the back sheet 10 is inserted into the end caps 15. The back sheet 10 can, for example, have openings 19 into which suitable connection lugs or similar elements inside the end caps 15, 16 engage, in order to achieve a secure connection between the end caps 15, 16 and the back sheet 10 along the longitudinal extension 4.

[0073] Furthermore, the back sheet 10 is guided at least in sections through the other end cap 16. In the present exemplary embodiment, the back sheet 10 is inserted into the end cap 16.

[0074] This makes it possible to achieve a highly stable connection between the components of the wiper blade 1, including the end caps 15, 16. In particular, this makes it possible to achieve an advantageous guidance of the wiper lip 3 on the motor vehicle window pane.

[0075] One or more components of the windshield wiper 1 can be configured according to the respective application. In this case, the modular structure of the windshield wiper 1 enables the windshield wiper 1 to be assembled according to the modular principle, thereby optimizing the number of different components.

[0076] In one possible embodiment, as in the present exemplary embodiment, the wind deflectors 11 , 12 are formed on the wiper elements 5 , 6 . Furthermore, the wind deflectors 13 , 14 are formed on the end caps 15 , 16 .

[0077] Figure 3 Shown for illustration of assembly Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the windshield wiper 1 is shown. In this case, a side guide 17 and a side guide 18 facing away from the guide 17 are formed on the components connected by the back plate 10. The guide rails 17, 18 extend along the longitudinal extension 4.

[0078] The structural component 2 is inserted onto the guide rails 17, 18 so that its longitudinal sides 8, 9 engage the guide rails 17, 18 in a U-shaped manner. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Further explanation.

[0079] Figure 4 The cross-sectional view shows a possible design Figure 1 The component 2 and the wiper lip 3 of a windshield wiper 1 are shown, wherein the section is oriented transversely to the longitudinal extension 4 and the component 2 and the wiper lip 3 are coextruded.

[0080] In this embodiment, the wiper lip 3 and the structural component 2 are therefore constructed in one piece. In particular, the wiper lip 3 and the structural component 2 are constructed in the form of an extruded component 20 .

[0081] Figure 5 Another possible design is shown Figure 4 A section through the component 2 and the wiper lip 3 is shown, wherein the component 2 and the wiper lip 3 are separate components.

[0082] In this embodiment, a wiper lip grip 21 is formed on the component 2, extending along the longitudinal extension 4. The wiper lip 3 engages in the wiper lip grip 21 along the longitudinal extension 4. In particular, the wiper lip can be removable and, for this purpose, can be pulled out of the wiper lip grip 21 along the longitudinal extension 4. The wiper lip grip 21 has L-shaped guides 22, 23, which surround a T-shaped piece 24 that engages the wiper lip 3.

[0083] Furthermore, the structural component 2 has U-shaped guides 25, 26 on its longitudinal sides 8, 9, which, in the assembled state, surround the engaging guide rails 17, 18 ( Figure 3 ). The U-shaped guide rails 25, 26 face each other with their open sides.

[0084] Figure 6 Shown with Figure 1 Detail of the component 2 of the windshield wiper 1, showing the recess 28 in the component 2, which serves for locking in the assembled state. Figure 7 Shown with Figure 1 A detail of the end cap 15 of the windshield wiper 1 is shown, wherein the end cap 15 has a locking element 29 which engages in the assembled state. Figure 6 In the notch 28 shown. In addition, Figure 8 Shown Figure 1 Detail of the windshield wiper 1 shown, wherein Figure 7 The locking element 29 shown is engaged Figure 6 In the notch 28 shown. For ease of explanation, Figures 6 to 8 A uniform direction X along the longitudinal extension 4 is drawn in.

[0085] At least one recess 28 is provided on at least one of the longitudinal sides 8, 9 of the structural component 2. In the present embodiment, exactly one recess 28 is provided. Furthermore, the locking element 29 is designed as a latching element 29 in the present embodiment. The latching element 29 of the end cap 15 engages in the recess 28 of the structural component 2 in the assembled state. In this embodiment, the latching element 29 snaps into the recess 28.

[0086] In a modified embodiment, a further recess 28 can be provided on at least one of the longitudinal sides 8, 9 of the structural component 2, which serves as the further end cap 16. The further end cap 16 can then have a corresponding locking element 29, in particular a latching element 29. In the assembled state, the latching element 29 of the further end cap 16 engages in the further recess 28 of the structural component 2, in particular being able to latch into it.

[0087] Figure 9 The spatial diagram shows the Figure 2 The structural component 2 of the windshield wiper 1 is shown to illustrate a possible design. In this embodiment, the structural component 2 has a notch 38 on its first longitudinal edge 8. The structural component 2 also has a notch 39 on its second longitudinal edge 9.

Additionally or alternatively, the notches 39 on the second longitudinal side 9 of the structural component 2 are spaced apart from each other at least approximately by a constant spacing L1. The constant spacing on the first longitudinal side 8 can be selected to be different from the constant spacing on the second longitudinal side 9.

[0089] In a variant design, the spacings on at least one of the longitudinal sides 8, 9 can also be different from one another. In a preferred variant, the notches 38 on the first longitudinal side 8 of the structural component 2 are spaced apart from one another by spacings L1, L2 that increase or decrease along the longitudinal extension 4, wherein, to simplify the illustration, only the spacings L1, L2 are indicated.

[0090] Additionally or alternatively, the notches 39 on the second longitudinal edge 9 of the structural component 2 are spaced apart from one another at spacings L1, L2 that increase or decrease along the longitudinal extension 4. In this case, the spacing selected for the first longitudinal edge 8 can also differ from the spacing selected for the second longitudinal edge 9.

Furthermore, the notches 39 on the second longitudinal edge 9 of the structural component 2 are configured with the same notch width L4 along the longitudinal extension 4. In this case, the notch ends on the first longitudinal edge 38 and the second longitudinal edge 39 may also be different.

[0092] In a modified design, the notch 38 on the first longitudinal side 8 of the structural component 2 is configured along the longitudinal extension 4 with a notch width L3 , L4 that increases or decreases along the longitudinal extension 4 , wherein only the notch widths L3 , L4 are indicated to simplify the illustration.
