WIPER ARM ADAPTOR FOR CAR

Abstract

An adaptor and coupling structure of a vehicular wiper arm are provided. The adaptor has an altered pin coupling structure that is capable of coupling to a variety of wiper arms without using rivets, is easily coupled without manipulating the pin of a wiper arm, is coupled to pivot centrally around a wiper frame, and increases the pivoting supporting strength of a wiper. The pin coupling structure includes a pivoting portion pivotably inserted in a mounting bracket of the wiper frame. The pivoting portion forms a hollow part that guides and couples with the pin of the wiper arm. The wiper frame forms a guide notch for guiding and coupling with the pivoting portion.

Claims

1. An adaptor inserted and installed on a mounting bracket of a wiper frame having a wiper blade installed thereon, the adaptor forming a pin hole for guiding and inserting a pin of a wiper arm, wherein the wiper frame forms a hole corresponding to the pin hole, the adaptor comprising: a pivoting portion pivotably inserted along the mounting bracket, and including an integrally formed hollow part for guiding and coupling with the pin of the wiper arm.

2. The adaptor according to claim 1, further comprising a rib mounted along the mounting bracket.

3. The adaptor according to claim 1, further comprising an air spoiler for directing oncoming air in an upward direction.

4. A coupling structure of a wiper comprising: a wiper arm including a pin on an end thereof;a wiper frame including a mounting bracket that defines a guide notch; andan adaptor inserted and installed on the mounting bracket,wherein the adaptor includes:a pin hole formed therein for selectively receiving the pin; andan integrally formed pivoting portion guided and pivotably inserted in the guide notch, and having a hollow part for selectively guiding and coupling with the pin.

5. The coupling structure according to claim 4, wherein the guide notch is formed symmetrically in duplicate.

6. The coupling structure according to claim 4, wherein the guide notch has an open end with a sloped surface for guiding the inserting of the pivoting portion.
