An adaptor (30, 130, 230, 530, 630) is provided for connecting different style windshield wiper arm ends (20, 120, 220, 220A, 320, 420, 520, 620) to a cross-pin-type wiper blade (25) using the same principle of operation for locking the different style arm ends to the adaptor (30, 130, 230, 530, 630) prior to assembling the adaptor on the blade (25). A latch member (45, 145, 245, 545, 645) carried by a leaf spring (41, 141, 241, 541, 641) engages with and retains any one of several different style arm ends (20, 120, 220, 220A, 320, 420, 520, 620) on the adaptor (30, 130, 230, 530, 630) with another latch member (44, 144, 244, 544, 644) dependent from said leaf spring (41, 141, 241, 541, 641) which cooperates with the cross-pin (26) of the cross-pin-type blade (25) to prevent the latching member (45, 145, 245, 545, 645) from releasing the arm end (20, 120, 220, 220A, 320, 420, 520, 620) when the adaptor (30, 130, 230, 530, 630) is assembled on said cross-pin (26). |
