- said cam 76 pushes down the heads 75 deformable stops 73 which allows to mount and / or remove the adapter 9, the heads 75 deformable stops 73 can then go under the slides 33 of the arm 3.
- the deformable stops 73 bear on the arm 3 by means of their head 75. In the event of failure of the pin 21, they remain in place and thus make it possible to maintain the locking of the fixing device 2 in the arm 3. More precisely, said heads 75 of the abutments 73 are here in contact with the rear end 33a of slides 33. In this figure the direction of assembly and / or disassembly is illustrated by the arrow marked 90.

They are spaced apart from each other by a decreasing distance from their distal end to the base 77 of the cam 76.
- said cam 76 In nominal position, said cam 76 is close to the heads 75 without deforming them. In case of voluntary pressure on the pin, said cam 76 forces the deformable stops 73 towards one another by engagement of the guide rods 77 in the orifices 79 of their head 75 which allows to mount and / or dismount the adapter 9, the heads 75 deformable stops 73 can then pass between the slides 33. As shown in FIG. 6, in nominal operation, the deformable stops 73 bear on the arm 3 by means of their head 75. In the event of failure of the pin 21, they remain in place and thus make it possible to maintain the locking of the fixing device 2 in the arm 3. More precisely, said heads 75 of the abutments 73 are here in contact with the rear end 33a of slides 33.
- the disassembly of the blade is achieved by pressing with the fingers on the deformable stops 73 in the direction indicated by the arrows 71.
- the securing means 70 are situated on the connector 8.
- the adapter is, for example, in the form of those of FIG. 3 or FIG. , deprived of their deformable stops 73.
- the broom 1 and the arm 3 are, in particular, identical to those of the previous modes.
- the securing means 70 comprise, for example, at least one abutment 80 holding the fastening device in nominal locking position against the arm 3 in the event of failure of the pin 21, in particular when the blade is pressed against the windshield. .
- Said abutment 80 also allows rotation of the arm around the axis of rotation 14 of the adapter 9. It is thus possible to mount and / or dismount the arm 3 on the adapter 9.
- the arm 3 in the nominal blocking position, as shown in FIG. 7, the arm 3 is locked by the pin 21 and, in the event of its failure, the translation of the arm 3 with respect to the adapter 9, according to FIG. the marked arrow 81 is blocked by said stop 80 of the securing means 70.
- the arm is free to rotate about the axis 14 and it is sufficient to rotate by a few degrees of angle so that the arm 3 can pass above said stop 80 of the securing means 70.
- the stop 80 is configured to block the mounting and dismounting of the adapter 9 on the arm 3 as long as the angle of rotation of said arm and / or said adapter relative to their nominal blocking position is less than a limit angle and to allow mounting and dismounting of the adapter 9 on the arm 3 in the opposite case.
- Said limiting angle is, for example, between 2 and 10 °, in particular between 4 and 6 °.
- stop 80 of the securing means 70 on each side of the connector.
- Said abutments 80 are located cantilevered with respect to the lower part of the connector 8, in particular on either side of its ribs accommodating the vertebrae 5 of the blade 1. They may be derived from the material of said connector. They comprise an arm 83 extending towards a rear end 33a of the slides 33 from the lower part of the connector 8 and an abutment head 84 located at the distal end of said arm 83. As illustrated in FIG. 7 said abutment heads 83 are in contact with said rear end 33a of the slides 32, in particular in case of failure of the pin 21.
- the means for guiding the arm in translation are configured to have several functions, namely, in particular, a translational guiding function during assembly and / or disassembly, in nominal operation, and a blocking function, by cooperation with the one or more stops of the securing means, in the event of failure of the holding means.
- the stops of the securing means are then in contact with the slides 33, in particular with their rear ends 33a.
- Said slides 33 are here of the same length. According to another variant, they may be of different length, in particular for the purpose of allowing foolproofing between brushes intended to be mounted on a left arm and a right arm of the wiper system. Such keying is particularly useful when the left and right brushes are not the same length. Keying can be done at the front end 33b of the slides.
- the stops 73, 80 of the securing means of each fixing device can thus remain symmetrical from one side to the other.
- support screed 10 can be made in the same material as the rest of the arm, in continuity with it.
