Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de connexion central (36) pour un ensemble balai d'essuie-glace du type à balai plat (20) comprenant une base intermédiaire en plastique (38) qui est fixée, par exemple par un soudage par ultrasons, à une paire de fléchisseurs (26) s'étendant le long de l'ensemble balai d'essuie-glace (20). La base intermédiaire (38) comprend une section de réception encastrée (42) pour recevoir un carter métallique (54). Le carter (54) est placé thermiquement en position à la base intermédiaire (38) de sorte à fixer les deux éléments l'un à l'autre comme une unité intégrale. Un rivet (78) s'étend transversalement à travers les parois latérales (58) du carter (54) pour être contigu à un connecteur universel (82) ou à un autre adaptateur approprié ou par une connexion directionnelle à l'extrémité d'un bras de balai.
