Abstract
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.
