1. A wiper blade assembly comprising:
a wiper blade; and a connector for connecting the wiper blade with a windshield wiper arm, the connector comprising:
a peripheral wall having a distal side at a distal end, a proximal side at a proximal end opposing the distal end, a first side provided between the distal end and the proximal end and running longitudinally, and a second side opposing the first side and running longitudinally, the peripheral wall further having a top surface extending from the first side to the second side;two internal support walls each substantially parallel with one another and provided between the first and second sides, each internal support wall running longitudinally along the connector;a rivet passage defined by a pair of arcuate rivet clips, each arcuate rivet clip provided in one of the internal support walls, the rivet passage dimensioned for accepting and securing a rivet of a wiper blade thereby securing the connector to the wiper blade;a proximal shelf and a distal shelf provided on the top surface, the proximal shelf provided at a substantially horizontal orientation, the distal shelf sloped with respect to the proximal shelf;a pair of retaining pin apertures, one retaining pin aperture provided in the first side and a the other retaining pin aperture provided in the second side and aligned with each other and sized to be capable of slidably accepting a retaining pin of the at least one pin-type windshield wiper arm; anda spacer cavity in one of the first or second sides, the retaining pin aperture positioned within the spacer cavity, the spacer cavity having a width measured across a diameter of the retaining pin aperture located within the spacer cavity is greater than the diameter of the retaining pin aperture, the spacer activity dimensioned to be capable of accepting a spacer of a pin-type wiper arm having the spacer. |
