An adapter () for attaching to an attachment member () of a wiper arm () extending to an terminal end () with an upper wall () and a pair of side walls () depending from the upper wall. The side walls each have an inward protrusion () and a U-shaped cutout () formed at the end defining upper () and lower cutout () edges. The upper wall has an aperture (). The adapter has a body () with first () and second () ends. A stop () formed at the first end abuts the attachment member end. A slot () formed at the second end receives one of the protrusions. A resilient finger () attached to the body has a tooth () engaging the aperture to prevent longitudinal movement between the attachment member and adapter. A brace () formed at the first end is received in one of the cutouts when the tooth engages the aperture. The brace at least partially abuts the lower cutout edge and remains spaced from the upper cutout edge.

Wiper adapter and wiper assembly incorporating the same

The present invention relates to a wiper assembly and a coupler assembly for use in releasably attaching the wiper assembly to a plurality of different attachment member for wiper arms. The coupler assembly includes a base mounted to structure of the wiper assembly and at least one coupler releasably attached to the base to allow connection to the attachment members. The coupler assembly also includes a release lever cooperating with the base and the at least one coupler for releasing the at least one coupler from the base to facilitate releasable attachment between a wiper assembly and the attachment members of the wiper arms.

Wiper coupler assembly and wiper assembly incorporating same

A packaging assembly for enclosing a wiper assembly includes a base having a bottom, a first side, a second side opposing said first side, and an accommodation space to receive the wiper assembly between the first side and the second side. The packaging assembly also includes a cover connected pivotally to the second side of the base, the cover having a top, opposing first and second sides, and an accommodation space to receive the wiper assembly between the opposing first and second sides. The base having a recess in the second side near a center thereof to receive a portion of the wiper assembly to center the wiper assembly in the packaging assembly white providing optimal curvature for the wiper assembly.
