Furthermore, the invention relates to a windshield wiper device or a wiper system for a means of transportation, in particular for a windshield of a motor vehicle.

State of the art

Mechanical transmission devices for windscreen wiper devices or their wiper systems have one or a plurality of articulated rods - so-called wiper systems - articulated rods - with joint devices provided thereon, each of which has ball shells as actual articulation devices. A ball socket integrated into a joint rod is injected into the joint rod in the prior art. For this purpose, the comparatively long link rod must be inserted in a plastic injection molding tool. The joint rod itself is a stamped from a sheet, embossed and possibly bent rod with a U-profile. See Figs. 1 to 3 of the drawing. Also known are pipe joint rods in which a respective longitudinal end portion flattened, punched a hole in the respective longitudinal end portion and a ball socket made of plastic is injected into the respective hole. In the respective spherical shell, a ball pin is pivotally received in the later use of the relevant windshield wiper device. A particular problem is a complicated, complex and therefore cost-intensive handling of the connecting rod during injection molding; On the one hand, the injection molding tool must be comparatively large, since link rods can be up to more than 0.5 m in length. On the other hand, inserting the actual link rod into the injection molding tool is not easy to handle and therefore requires considerable time and money. A completely automated production of joint bars with injected joint devices is problematic since an automated insertion of the actual joint rods in the injection molding tool is difficult to implement. Furthermore, it is not possible to produce such a joint rod with injected or cast joint devices in a low-cost location.
