Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device according to the preamble of the independent claim.
  • the support element for the entire wiper field covered by the wiper blade should have as uniform a distribution as possible of the one starting from the wiper arm
  • the support element thus replaces the complex support bracket construction with two spring rails arranged in the wiper strip and serving to reinforce the rubber-elastic wiper strip, as is practiced with conventional wiper blades (DE 1505 257 AI).
  • a wiper blade with such a support element is to be easily captively connected to the wiper arm and can be removed from it again.
  • the wiper arm In order to connect a wiper blade designed in this way to the wiper arm, the wiper arm must be provided with a specially designed connecting element with which it can be connected to the wiper arm in the required manner.
  • the wall surfaces of the connecting element should also ensure proper guidance of the wiper blade when it is moved across the window to be wiped from the wiper arm to its longitudinal extent because they are in contact with the guide surfaces of the wiper arm. Since the generally spherically curved windshield of a motor vehicle does not represent the section of a spherical surface, the wiper blade must be able to constantly adapt to the respective position and the course of the window surface relative to the wiper arm during its wiping movement. Therefore, the smooth-running articulation between the wiper arm and the wiper blade, which enables a swinging movement about the pivot pin axis, is necessary.
  • the invention is based on a connecting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the two pivot pins are each provided on their lateral surfaces with two mutually opposite surfaces. This makes it possible to introduce the wiper blade with these pins into the bearing recess of the wiper arm, which are open at the edges via insertion channels which are matched to the distance between the pin surface.
  • the wiper blade To connect the wiper blade to the wiper arm or to detach the wiper blade from the wiper arm, however, the wiper blade must be rotated into a position transverse to the wiper arm extension around the pivot pin axis so that the pins can be brought into their bearing recesses through the insertion channels and the assembled wiper blade in its operating position the window on the wiper arm is held captive. To do this, it is necessary to fold the wiper arm away from the window. In many applications, however, such a folding movement of the wiper arm is not possible because, for example, the
  • Wiper arm in its storage position enabling the assembly process on the edge of the pane is under a cover of the vehicle body or because the arrangement of the folding joint should be dispensed with for cost reasons.
  • the adapter having the wiper blade-side connection means must first be connected to the wiper blade so that it belongs to the wiper blade.
  • the formation of a special joint between the wiper arm and the wiper blade is thus eliminated and the functions of the joint connection and connecting means are separated from one another and can thus be optimized without compromise.
  • To design the holding connection between the wiper blade and the wiper arm only holding and / or latching means arranged on the adapter have to be brought into engagement with the counter-holding or counter-latching means of the wiper arm assigned to them.
  • They can be designed, for example, in such a way that the connection between the wiper arm and the wiper blade is achieved by a sliding movement of the wiper blade in the longitudinal direction of the wiper arm, the wiper arm not having to be lifted from the pane, or only slightly so.
  • a particularly narrow construction of the articulated connection between the wiper arm and the wiper blade and thus no obstruction of the view from the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle resulting from the connecting device results if the distance between the two wall surfaces of the connecting element is smaller than the width of the supporting element.
  • connection element is formed by the outer surfaces on the T-foot of a component which is T-shaped at least in sections, the T-head facing the support element and being connected to it.
  • a connection can be achieved inexpensively, for example, by providing the connecting element on the longitudinal edges of the T-head facing away from one another with claw-like projections which encompass the outer longitudinal edges of the supporting element.
  • the connecting element seen in cross-section, has two essentially right-angled halves, which form the T-foot with one angle leg abutting one another and their other angle leg together form the T-head.
  • the connecting element is made of a plastic, because then the hinge pins can also be molded directly onto the connecting element.
  • the adapter has a substantially U-shaped cross section, the two U legs of which laterally fit over the T-foot of the connecting element, the U-base covering the T-foot of the connecting element and in each of the two U- Leg is a slot-like recess open to the free ends, the slot ends of which form bearing receptacles for the pivot pins, there are large guide surfaces between the adapter belonging to the wiper blade and the connecting element connected to the supporting element of the wiper blade, so that a play-free, good wiping pattern ensuring connection is reached.
  • the adapter is provided on the outer sides of its U-legs facing away from one another with collar-like approaches surrounding the bearing receptacles.
  • the wiper blade holder of the wiper arm fits over the adapter on its U-legs with side cheeks, with open-ended recesses for the collar-like approaches of the adapter being arranged in the side cheeks of the wiper blade holder.
  • the recesses have an L-shaped shape, one L-leg being open at the edge towards the support element of the wiper blade and the other L-leg toward the free end of the wiper arm extends, the width of the recesses being matched to the outer diameter of the collar-like projections of the adapter.
  • the adapter is provided with a tongue which can be deflected elastically against a restoring force and on which a latching shoulder is formed which extends transversely to the
  • the locking shoulder is associated with a wiper arm-fixed counter-locking shoulder and the locking shoulder cooperates with the counter-locking shoulder when the collar-like approaches of the adapter at the closed ends of the other L-legs of the recesses in the side walls of the Wiper blade holder.
  • Locking shoulder protrudes beyond the free end of the wiper arm.
  • the adapter is provided with a lateral projection at least on its one U-leg at a distance from the collar-like projections, one of which on the Side cheeks of the wiper blade holder provided recess is assigned.
  • shield-like covers projecting laterally beyond the projections are arranged on the collar-like projections at a distance from the U-legs of the adapter.
  • a whole series of features thus result from the above statements, which contribute to the construction of an easy-to-use, inexpensive and play-free joint connection between the wiper arm and the wiper blade.
  • One of the necessary components - namely the connecting element - is designed according to the preamble of claim 20.
  • a known connector of this type (DE 19 72 98 64.8A1) has a hinge pin on only one side of the T-foot for connection to the wiper arm. This results in an articulated connection located outside the longitudinal center axis of the wiper blade, which can prove to be disadvantageous in certain pane configurations with regard to the contact pressure emanating from the wiper arm.
  • the two wall surfaces of the T-base facing away from one another serve as guide surfaces, which interact with corresponding counter surfaces of the wiper arm during the wiping operation.
  • Wiper blade guidance is taken over there solely by the small-area, one-sided collar of the hinge pin.
  • the contact pressure emanating from the wiper arm is transmitted uniformly to both pins and, moreover, excellent wiper blade guidance is achieved during wiping operation.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a wiper blade articulated at the free end of a wiper arm
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of a connecting element that can be firmly connected to the wiper arm
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along line III-III through the connecting element according to FIG. 2
  • FIG 5 shows a cross section along the line VV in FIG. 4 through the single element serving as an adapter
  • FIG. 6 shows a section along the line VI-VI through the arrangement according to FIG. 5

  • FIG. 12 shows a longitudinal section according to FIG. 8 through the wiper blade holder according to FIG. 11
  • FIG. 13 shows a longitudinal section according to FIG. 9 through the adapter according to FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of the free end of a wiper arm 10 driven from its other end, not shown, on which a wiper blade 12 is articulated via an articulated connection 13 such that it can swing in the direction of the double arrow 14.
  • the wiper blade has a band-like, elongated, curved over its band surfaces, resilient support element 16, on the of which
  • Disc 20 facing lower concave band surface 17 is also a band-like elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip 18 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the surface to be wiped of the motor vehicle window is indicated in FIG. 1 by a dash-dotted line 20. Since line 20 is intended to represent the strongest curvature of the window surface, it is clearly evident that the curvature of the wiper blade 12, which has both ends resting against the window 20, is stronger than the maximum window curvature. Under one over the wiper arm 10 in
  • the wiper blade also has a connecting element 26 (FIGS. 2 and 3) which has an essentially T-shaped cross section. It thus has a T-foot 28 and a T-head 30, the longitudinal extent of which is limited to two comparatively short sections spaced apart from one another. Claw-like extensions 32 are arranged on the longitudinal edges of the T-head 30 facing away from one another, the function of which will be discussed later.
  • the T-shape of the connecting element 26 results from the fact that a sheet metal part has been folded in such a way that the T-leg 28 is formed by two sheet metal sections 34 which lie against one another and are angled in their further course merge into the T-head parts 32.
  • hinge pin or its two ends or hinge pin 43 protruding from the walls or outer surfaces 36 of the angle leg 34 by two separate, short pins, which in turn are used, for example, by a variety of methods known to the person skilled in the art - for example the arrangement of passages , Stamping marks or extrusion warts etc. - can be formed.
  • Connection element 26 is connected to the support element 16 of the wiper blade 12.
  • the wiper blade has two spring rails 44, which are arranged parallel to one another in the longitudinal grooves of the wiper strip 18 and are curved in the longitudinal direction over their band surfaces, which at least in the

  • This connecting element 26 is thus part of the wiper blade 12. When looking at the wiper blade 12 in FIG. 4, it is also clear that that the distance 38 between the two outer wall surfaces 36 (FIG. 3) is smaller than the width 46 of the support element 16.
  • the wiper arm 10 At its free end 48 (FIG. 1) facing away from its drive side, the wiper arm 10 is provided with a wiper blade holder 50. From the longitudinal section shown in FIG. 8 through the wiper blade holder and with simultaneous consideration of the wiper blade holder according to FIG. 4 it can be seen that the wiper blade holder is U-shaped

  • Both exemplary embodiments have in common that on the two pin-like hinge pins 42 one by one
  • pendulum adapter 66 or 166 is mounted, which has means for connecting to the wiper blade holder 50 or 150 of the wiper arm 10. The necessary pendulum movement between the wiper arm and the wiper blade therefore takes place between the adapter 26 which is locked with the wiper arm and the connecting element 66.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation amovible d'un balai d'essuie-glace (12) servant à nettoyer des vitres, notamment de véhicules automobiles. Un élément de raccordement (26) est monté sur la surface de bande convexe extérieure de l'élément support (16) du balai d'essuie-glace, cet élément de raccordement comportant deux surfaces de paroi (36) parallèles s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal du balai d'essuie-glace et orientées verticalement par rapport à la surface de bande ; un pivot (42) dépasse de chaque surface de paroi, les axes longitudinaux des deux pivots étant alignés l'un sur l'autre. On peut obtenir une conception particulièrement simple de la liaison articulée avec dispositif de raccordement intégré grâce à un adaptateur (66 et 166) monté sur les deux pivots de l'élément de raccordement (26) et pouvant osciller autour des axes longitudinaux des pivots, cet adaptateur comportant des moyens permettant le raccordement au support de balai d'essuie-glace (50 et 150) du bras d'essuie-glace (10).
