The above and further advantages of this invention may be better understood by referring to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
The drawings will be described further in connection with the following detailed description of the present invention.
References are made to
The top plate 11 is a streamlined plate housing, where the top plate 11 has a protruding pattern or writing sign (not shown) on a surface thereof so as to conveniently assemble a windshield wiper arm 30, and a pair of position-guiding plates 111 are separately extended from a front end and a rear end of the top plate 11 and the pair of position-guiding plates 11 are respectively disposed.
The pair of clipping pieces 12 are downwardly form a middle of the top plate 11 and are respectively disposed, and have a slightly circular-shaped pivotal hooking groove 121 between the pair of clipping pieces 12. Each of the clipping pieces 12 has a free end without connecting with the top plate 11 so that the pivotal hooking groove 121 is elastic.
The first fastening portion 13 is downwardly extended from the top plate 11 and disposed on one side (right side) of the pair of clipping pieces 12, and has a curve-shaped hooking groove 131. The top plate 11 extends a first enhancing rib 112 from right side of the first fastening portion 13 and the first enhancing rib 112 is connected with right side of the first fastening portion 13.
The second fastening portion 14 is downwardly extended from the top plate 11 and disposed on the other side (left side) of the pair of clipping pieces 12, and has a curve-shaped hooking groove 141. The top plate 11 extends a second enhancing rib 113 from left side of the second fastening portion 14 and the second enhancing rib 113 is connected with left side of the second fastening portion 14.
The windshield wiper connecter further has a fixing base 20 and the fixing base 20 has a pair of side plates 21 face to face, and a cylindrical-shaped pivotal shaft 22 is used to connect between an inner surface of the pair of side plates 21 each. Each of the side plates 21 have a first through hole 211 and a second through hole 212, and the first through hole 211 with a larger inside diameter is placed on right side of the pivotal shaft 22 and the second through hole 212 with a smaller inside diameter is placed on left side of the pivotal shaft 22.
A front-end surface and a rear-end surface of the position-guiding plates 111 of the connecter 10 are positioned along inner-side surface of the pair of side plates 21 of the fixing base 20, and next the pivotal hooking groove 121 of the pair of clipping pieces 12 is fastened to the pivotal shaft 22 of the fixing base 20 so as to position and fasten the connecter 10 on the fixing base 20 by the position-guiding plates 111 and the elastic pivotal hooking groove 121.
The windshield wiper arm 30 has a bolt 31 and the bolt 31 has a notch 311, and the bolt 31 is passed through the first through hole 211 of the fixing base 20 to fasten the notch 311 to the hooking groove 131 of the first fastening portion 13 and then connect the windshield wiper arm 30 to the fixing base 20 by the connecter 10.
Reference is made to
It follows from what has been said that the windshield wiper connecter 10 can connect to the windshield wiper arm 30 with the bolt 31 or the windshield wiper arm 40 with the bolt 41. Hence it provides a better suitability to save costs. Furthermore, the windshield wiper connecter 10 can easily be positioned and assembled on the fixing base 20 by the pair of position-guiding plate 111, and the windshield wiper connecter 10 has a first enhancing rib 112 and a second enhancing rib 113 to enhance the structure strength of the windshield wiper connecter 10.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
