In the case of a holder for fastening a unit (), in particular a pump, to a motor vehicle, with an annular damping element (), the inner region of which is provided for accommodating the unit () and which has, on the outside, a block-shaped fastening part (), under the upper side () of which a plate-like insert () which is designed for local reinforcement of the damping element () is arranged, it is proposed according to the invention that two opposite edges of the insert () each have a wing () running into the damping element (). This produces an increased, but limited local minimum rigidity of the holder.

A wiper blade is suggested for cleaning window panes in motor vehicles. The wiper blade () has an elongated rubber-elastic wiping strip () which can contact the window pane () and is provided at both of its longitudinal sides () with open-edged longitudinal receiving grooves which are arranged in a plane approximately parallel to the window pane and in which a strip-like, elongated, resilient carrying rail () is accommodated in each instance. The inner edges of the carrying rail () which face one another contact a longitudinal web () of the wiping strip remaining between the grooves () and the two carrying rails () are secured in their receiving grooves transverse to their longitudinal extension by a holder which is arranged at the upper strip surface () of the carrying rails remote of the window pane. The holder is provided with L-shaped claws (), the first L-leg () traversing the outer edges () of the carrying rails and the second L-leg () engaging under the respective carrying rail (). A wiper blade () which can be mounted in a particularly advantageous manner is provided when the distance () measured transverse to the longitudinal extension of the wiper blade () between the inner edges of the first L-leg () which face one another is less than the sum of the width () of the two carrying rails () plus the width () of the longitudinal web () of the wiping strip ().

Wiper blade for cleaning vehicle panes and method for mounting said wiper blade

A wiper device with a wiper blade for cleaning windows of motor vehicles, in which the wiper blade can be moved back and forth laterally to its longitudinal span by a driven wipe arm which can be connected to the wiper blade and loads the same against the window. The wiper blade has an elongated wiper strip that can be placed against the window and an elongated spring-elastic carrying element, which has a connecting unit for the wiper arm and is disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wiper strip to distribute a contact force over the entire wiper strip length. A particularly effective and low-noise operation of the wiper system is achieved because the contact force of the wiper strip against the window is greater in its center section than in at least one of two end sections of the wiper strip.

A proposed wiper blade serves to clean the windshields of motor vehicles. The wiper blade () has an elongated rubber-elastic wiping strip which can be placed in contact against the windshield to be wiped and which is held substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis at an elongated, springing-elastic carrying element (). A connection device () for complementing connection means of a driven wiper arm () which are loaded toward the windshield is arranged at the center portion of the carrying element (). The connection device has two stop surfaces () which are located at a distance from one another, extend transverse to the driving direction, are parallel to one another and oriented in planes extending vertical to the windshield, and cooperate with counter-stops of the wiper arm. A problem-free and economical arrangement of the connection device at the carrying element is carried out in that one of the two structural component parts (or) which are connected with one another is provided with elastically deflectable catch means which cooperate with the complementing catch means of the other structural component part (or) in such a way that the two structural component parts are locked together.

The invention relates to wiper blades of various dimensions for windows of motor vehicles, with band-like, elongated, spring-elastic support elements ( ), each for a respective wiper strip ( ), which is associated with each wiper blade ( ), can be placed against the window ( ), and is disposed on the lower band surface ( ) oriented toward the window, where in a longitudinal midsection of each support element, the upper band surface ( ) oriented away from the window supports a wiper blade half ( ) of a connecting device ( ). In order to supply wiper blades of different dimensions with a single type of such a connecting device half and to thereby reduce the costs for the wiper blades, the widths ( ) of the support elements in this longitudinal midsection are the same size independent of the other dimensions of these support elements.

A packaging unit for a vehicle windscreen wiper blade ( ), which is at least partly located therein is disclosed. Said wiper blade comprises a long, elastic, rubber wiper strip with a wiper lip ( ), which may be applied to the windscreen ( ). Said wiper strip is mounted on a strip-like, sprung support element ( ), with the longitudinal axes held parallel, whereby the support element ( ), which has curved faces when unstressed, is arranged on the outer side, in relation to the correspondingly curved wiper lip ( ). A useful, space-saving packaging for the wiper blade is achieved, whereby the wiper blade ( ) has longitudinal supports arranged along both sides of a plane of symmetry ( ) and said supports are perpendicular to this plane. Furthermore, the packaging unit is an oblong, longitudinally stiff component, with a channel-shaped cross-section, which crosses the plane of symmetry of the wiper strip along the whole length thereof, with the bottom of the packaging channel maintaining a separation from the wiper lip and, in the region of the longitudinal edges thereof, said packaging has supports for the supporting surfaces of the wiper blade, which hold the wiper blade in an essentially straight position against the tension of the support element ( ).

A wiper apparatus for motor vehicle windows is proposed, having a wiper arm ( ) that can be moved between reversal positions, is loaded toward the window ( ), and constitutes a first apparatus part. The free end of the wiper arm is connected to a wiper blade ( ), which can pivot around an axis ( ) pointing essentially in the wiping direction (double arrow ), constitutes a second apparatus part, and together with the wiper arm, can be moved lateral to the wiping direction, from its operating position into an installation position, wherein the wiper blade is provided with two bearing pins ( ), which are part of the hinge joint ( ), protrude from the longitudinal sides of the wiper blade, are flush with each other, are noncircular in cross section, and are guided in recesses ( ) of the wiper arm ( ) that are open at the edge, and is provided with means for limiting pivoting motion.

The invention relates to a wiper blade ( ) for motor vehicle windows. The wiper blade includes a rubber-elastic wiper strip ( ) stretched out long in the manner of a band that can be placed against the window with a wiper lip, the two side walls of which each include a longitudinal groove ( ) which is situated in a plane that is basically parallel to the window ( ) and has clearance from the window, so that a bridge ( ) remains between the two grooves, and a spring ( and/or ) is accommodated in each longitudinal groove-that belongs to a spring-elastic carrier element ( ) stretched out long in the manner of a band. Retention of the required flexibility of the wiper blade even with problematic window configurations is ensured when the distance ( ) between the facing longitudinal edges ( ) of the two springs ( ) is greater than the width ( ) of the bridge ( ).
