Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a connecting apparatus ( 24 ) for hinging a joining element ( 100, 102, 104, 142, 152, 162, 122 166 ), which is rigidly connected to a wiper arm, by way of an adapter ( 62 ), which is held non-rotatably by the joining element ( 100, 102, 104, 142, 152, 162, 166 ), to a connecting element ( 26 ) fastened to a wiper blade ( 10 ), wherein between the connecting element ( 26 ) and the adapter ( 62 ) a joint ( 52, 82 ) running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the wiper blade ( 10 ) is provided, and the adapter ( 62 ) forms a frame of two side walls ( 64 ) of a front end wall ( 66 ) and a rear end wall ( 70 ), the frame being partially covered toward the top in the region of the front end wall ( 66 ) by a cover wall ( 68 ) such that an opening ( 74 ) remains toward the rear end wall ( 70 ). It is proposed that the adapter ( 62 ) has means ( 76, 78, 80, 86 ) which are suited for mounting and fixing three different joining elements ( 100, 102, 104 ).
