  • the housing 26 has positioning means comprising bearing zones 28 and a holding zone 30, different portions of the blade 12 being intended to cooperate with these different zones.
  • the first and second portions 31 are intended to bear on the bearing zones 28 and the third portion 32 is intended to be retained by the holding zone 30.
  • the third portion 32 is located the aerodynamic deflector integrated tubular housing 14a. Due to the different structure of this blade 12, it is found that it is in contact and retained at the different zones, bearing zones 28 and holding zone 30.
  • the packaging device may have two housings 26 for accommodating two brushes 12, as in the case of figures 5 and 6A to 6D .
  • the invention is not limited to these two only embodiments of the brushes 12, and more generally relates to the brushes whose structural element is bent along the median longitudinal plane of the blade, and is deformable elastically.
  • structural element means a member of the blade support type, vertebra support, deflector, or wiper blade vertebra or a combination of two or more of these elements.
