Connector device for coupling wiper arm
View Patent ↗A connector device for coupling a wiper arm and a wiper blade includes a coupling body, a first support portion provided on an upper surface of the coupling body and extending from the coupling body in a form of a cantilever and for applying an elastic restoration force to the wiper arm, a second support portion provided for supporting the wiper arm in a thicknesswise direction of the wiper arm to prevent the wiper arm from moving in the thicknesswise direction, and a third support portion for preventing the wiper arm from moving in a lengthwise direction of the wiper arm, wherein the second support portion is in a form of a hole with closed upper and lower sides and open front and rear sides.
1. A connector device for coupling a wiper arm of a “U” hook shape and a wiper blade, the connector device comprising:
a coupling body surrounded by the wiper arm;
a first support portion provided on an upper surface of the coupling body and extending from the coupling body in a form of a cantilever and for applying an elastic restoration force to the wiper arm to separate the wiper arm from the upper surface of the coupling body;
a second support portion provided at a lower side of the coupling body and for supporting the wiper arm in a thicknesswise direction of the wiper arm to prevent the wiper arm from moving in the thicknesswise direction by accommodating an end portion of the wiper arm;
a third support portion formed at an end portion of the second support portion and for preventing the wiper arm from moving in a lengthwise direction of the wiper arm, the third support portion being of a step shape; and,
a fourth support portion protruding downward from a lower surface of the coupling body and arranged in front of the third support portion;
wherein the second support portion is in a form of a hole with closed upper and lower sides and open front and rear sides, and a slot shaped hole is formed in a side surface of the second support portion to allow seeing of whether the wiper arm is appropriately assembled.
2. The connector device of claim 1 , further comprising a cover member rotatably coupled to a side wall portion extending forward from two side surfaces of the coupling body and for preventing the wiper arm coupled to the coupling body from escaping from a front side of the coupling body.
