摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a wiper coupler (66) for connecting a wiper blade assembly (26) to a wiper arm (24) including a pair of sidewalls (68, 70) with each sidewall (68, 70) including an aperture (72, 74) aligned with respect to the other. Each aperture (72, 74) is adapted to operatively receive a transversely extending pin (30) of a wiper arm (24). The wiper coupler (66) further includes a platform (80) disposed between the sidewalls (68, 70). The platform (80) has a super-surface (108) and a subsurface (82) where the super-surface (108) includes a rest portion (110) adapted to operatively receive a portion of a wiper arm (24) and the subsurface (82) includes a pair of cantilevered beams (84, 86) depending therefrom and adjacent to the sidewalls (68, 70). The cantilevered beams (84, 86) are adapted to operatively engage a portion of a wiper assembly (26).</p> |
