Abstract

The device makes it possible to fasten a windscreen wiper fitted with a transverse pin to windscreen wiper arms of different sizes. The windscreen wiper arm terminates in an end hook (6) which becomes housed in a cavity (5) of the device and is retained therein by the elastic clip-in tab (7). The pin (3) of the windscreen wiper is held in a housing (2) of the device. The cavity (5) of the device comprises a groove (8) in order to be able to receive a hook of a different size.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux esyie-glace pour véhicules automobiles et, plus précisément, à un dispositif de fixation d'un balai d'essuie-glace sur un bras d'essuie-glace muni d'un crochet d'extrémité. The present invention relates to windshield wipers for motor vehicles and, more specifically, to a device for fixing a wiper blade to a wiper arm provided with an end hook.

On connaît des bras d'essuie-glace dont l'extrémité est terminée par un crochet recourbé. Les balais d'essuie-glace montés à l'origine sur le bras comprennent un dispositif oscil lant-autour-d'un axe et pouvant s'encliqueter l'intérieur du crochet. Wiper arms are known, the end of which is terminated by a curved hook. The wiper blades originally mounted on the arm include an oscillating device around an axis and which can snap inside the hook.

Dans l'industrie des balais d'essuie-glace destinés à remplacer les balais d'origine apres usure, il est important de pouvoir adapter chaque balai a plusieurs types de bras, éventuellement en utilisant une pièce intermédiaire. In the wiper blade industry intended to replace the original blades after wear, it is important to be able to adapt each blade to several types of arms, possibly using an intermediate piece.

C'est ainsi qu'on a proposé de munir le balai d'un axe transversal et d'utiliser une pièce intermédiaire emprisonnant l'axe et comportant un creux dans lequel vient se loger l'extrémité du crochet, une languette élastique venant s'encliqueter derrière l'extrémité du crochet. Cette solution offre l'inconvénient de nécessiter une pièce intermédiaire différente pour des bras dont les crochets ont des dimensions différentes. En outre, la pièce intermédiaire est en plusieurs parties, ce qui entraîne des frais de montage qui obèrent le prix du balai. Thus it has been proposed to provide the brush with a transverse axis and to use an intermediate piece trapping the axis and comprising a hollow in which is housed the end of the hook, an elastic tongue coming from snap behind the end of the hook. This solution has the disadvantage of requiring a different intermediate piece for arms whose hooks have different dimensions. In addition, the intermediate piece is in several parts, which results in mounting costs which increase the price of the brush.

L'invention vise a obtenir un dispositif de fixation du type précédent qui soit d'une seule pièce et puisse recevoir des bras à crochet d'au moins deux dimensions. The invention aims to obtain a fixing device of the previous type which is in one piece and can receive hook arms of at least two dimensions.

Ce but est atteint conformément à l'invention, grâce à un dispositif de fixation d'un balai d'essuie-glace muni d'un axe transversal monté entre deux joues du balai sur un bras d'essuieglace muni d'un crochet d'extrémité, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une pièce en matière thermoplastique comportant un logement de réception de l'axe muni d'une lèvre élastique de maintien dudit axe, ainsi qu'un logement récepteur de l'extrémité en crochet d'un bras d'essuie-glace, ladite pièce comportant une patte élastique d'encliquetage derrière l'extrémité recourbée du crochet, ledit logement récepteur du crochet comportant au moins une rainure formant un logement pour un crochet d'extrémité de bras de dimensions différentes. This object is achieved in accordance with the invention, thanks to a device for fixing a wiper blade provided with a transverse axis mounted between two cheeks of the blade on a wiper arm provided with a hook. end, characterized in that it consists of a piece of thermoplastic material comprising a housing for receiving the axis provided with an elastic lip for holding said axis, as well as a housing receiving the hook end d a wiper arm, said part comprising an elastic snap tab behind the curved end of the hook, said hook receiving housing comprising at least one groove forming a housing for an arm end hook of different dimensions .

On obtient ainsi une pièce intermédiaire très simple, monobloc, qui peut être montée indifféremment sur des bras à crochets de dimensions différentes. On a représenté aux dessins annexés, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un tel dispositif de fixation. A very simple, one-piece intermediate piece is thus obtained, which can be mounted indifferently on hook arms of different dimensions. There is shown in the accompanying drawings, by way of non-limiting example, such a fixing device.

Dans ces dessins
- la figure I est une vue en coupe longitudinale du dispositif de fixation monté sur un premier bras à crochet;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe le long de la ligne A-A de la figure 1;
- la figure 3 est identique à la figure 1, mais avec un second bras à crochet;
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe le long de la ligne B-B de la figure 3.In these drawings
- Figure I is a longitudinal sectional view of the fixing device mounted on a first hook arm;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along line AA of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is identical to Figure 1, but with a second hook arm;
- Figure 4 is a sectional view along line BB of Figure 3.

Le dispositif de fixation est constitué par une pièce en matière thermoplastique I comportant un logement 2 à section semi-circulaire destiné à recevoir un axe cylindrique 3 monté entre deux joues d'un balai d'essuie-glace (non représenté). The fixing device consists of a part made of thermoplastic material I comprising a housing 2 of semi-circular section intended to receive a cylindrical axis 3 mounted between two cheeks of a wiper blade (not shown).

L'entrée du logement 2 comporte une lèvre élastique 4 qui vient emprisonner l'axe 3 en lui permettant de pivoter dans son logement.The entrance to the housing 2 has an elastic lip 4 which traps the axis 3 by allowing it to pivot in its housing.

L'extrémité de la pièce I opposée au logement 2 est creuse de manière à former un logement 5 destiné à recevoir une extrémité en forme de crochet 6 d'un bras d'essuie-glace dont seule cette extrémité est représentée. Une patte élastique 7 vient s'encliqueter derrière le crochet 6 après introduction complète de celui-ci dans le logement 5. The end of the part I opposite the housing 2 is hollow so as to form a housing 5 intended to receive a hook-shaped end 6 of a wiper arm of which only this end is shown. An elastic tab 7 snaps behind the hook 6 after complete insertion of the latter into the housing 5.

Le logement 5 comporte, dans l'exemple décrit, une rainure 8 formée dans sa face supérieure, laquelle rainure 8 forme avec la face inférieure 10 du logement 5, un logement de réception d'un crochet 9 de bras d'essuie-glace qui est plus haut et plus étroit que le crochet 6. Si le crochet 9, contrairement à l'exemple représenté, est plus long que le crochet 6, une rainure peut également être formée dans le fond il du logement 5, prolongeant la rainure 8, afin que l'extrémité libre du crochet 9 soit verrouillée par la patte élastique 7 malgré la longueur différente des crochets.  The housing 5 comprises, in the example described, a groove 8 formed in its upper face, which groove 8 forms with the lower face 10 of the housing 5, a housing for receiving a hook 9 of the wiper arm which is higher and narrower than the hook 6. If the hook 9, unlike the example shown, is longer than the hook 6, a groove can also be formed in the bottom 11 of the housing 5, extending the groove 8, so that the free end of the hook 9 is locked by the elastic tab 7 despite the different length of the hooks.
