Weist das Kopplungselement zumindest ein Rastmittel auf, das dazu vorgese- hen ist, in einem montierten Zustand einen Formschluss mit dem Wischblattadapter zu bilden, kann eine einfach zu lösende und verschleißarme Verbindung zwischen dem Wschblattadapter und dem Kopplungselement hergestellt werden. Unter einem„Rastmittel" soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere ein Mittel verstanden werden, das dazu vorgesehen ist, mittels eines federelas- tischen Bauteils, das zur Montage elastisch ausgelenkt wird, eine Rastverbindung herzustellen.

Main longitudinal extension of an element. In this context, the term "extension" of an element should be understood to mean, in particular, a maximum distance between two points of a vertical projection of the element onto a plane.
Der Wschblattadapter kann besonders einfach und sicher montiert werden, wenn das Kopplungselement eine Längsführungseinheit aufweist, die dazu vorgesehen ist, den Wschblattadapter bei einer Montage bei einer Aufschubbewegung zu führen. Unter einer„Längsführungseinheit" soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere eine Einheit verstanden werden, die dazu vorgesehen ist, eine Führung eines Trägerelements in einer Längsrichtung bereitzustellen.

Unter „im Wesentlichen" soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere eine Abweichung von weniger als 10°, bevorzugt weniger als 5° verstanden werden. In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Längsführungseinheit zumindest ein Längsführungselement aufweist, das ein- stückig mit einem Grundkörper des Kopplungselements ausgebildet ist, wodurch eine stabile Aufnahme des Wischblattadapters erreicht werden kann. The blade adapter can be mounted in a particularly simple and secure manner if the coupling element has a longitudinal guide unit which is provided to guide the blade adapter when it is mounted during a push-on movement. In this context, a "longitudinal guide unit" is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a unit which is intended to provide guidance of a carrier element in a longitudinal direction Substantially extends parallel to a main longitudinal extension of the support member.

Wischblattadapter 10, einem Kopplungselement 12 zur Kopplung des Wschblattadapters 10 an einem Wschblatt 14 und einem Wscharm 16 in einem montierten Zustand. Der Wscharm 16 ist mit dem Wischblattadapter 10 auf eine dem Fachmann geläufige Art gekoppelt. Wiper blade adapter 10, a coupling element 12 for coupling the blade adapter 10 to a blade 14 and a Wscharm 16 in an assembled state. The Wscharm 16 is coupled to the wiper blade adapter 10 in a manner familiar to those skilled.
Der Wschblattadapter 10 ist mit dem Kopplungselement 12 lösbar verbunden. The blade adapter 10 is detachably connected to the coupling element 12.
Ein zerstörungsfreies Trennen des Wischblattadapters 10 vom Kopplungselement 12 ist daher möglich. Das Kopplungselement 12 ist am Wischblatt 14 auf eine dem Fachmann bekannte Art fest angeordnet. A nondestructive separation of the wiper blade adapter 10 from the coupling element 12 is therefore possible. The coupling element 12 is fixedly arranged on the wiper blade 14 in a manner known to the person skilled in the art.
Das Kopplungselement 12 weist, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, einen Grundkörper 28 mit einer Auflagefläche 32 auf. In einem Endbereich 20 des Grundkörpers 28 weist das Kopplungselement 12 an einem freien Ende ein Rastmittel 18 auf. As shown in FIG. 2, the coupling element 12 has a main body 28 with a bearing surface 32. In an end region 20 of the basic body 28, the coupling element 12 has a latching means 18 at a free end.
Das Rastmittel 18 ist einstückig mit dem Kopplungselement 12 ausgebildet. The latching means 18 is formed integrally with the coupling element 12.
Ein Federmittel 38 des Rastmittels 18 schließt das Kopplungselement 12 in eine Längsrichtung 22 hin ab. A spring means 38 of the locking means 18 closes off the coupling element 12 in a longitudinal direction 22 from.
Das Federmittel 38 ist einstückig mit dem Rastmittel 18 und dem Kopplungselement 12 ausgebildet und weist eine Rundung 50 auf, an welcher eine be- sonders hohe elastische Verformung durch das Rastmittel 18 ermöglicht ist. Die Rundung 50 verdreht das Federmittel 38 in einem unbelasteten Zustand um 170°. Wird das Rastmittel 18 zum Federmittel 38 hin gedrückt, vergrößert sich die Verdrehung des Federmittels 38. Das Rastmittel 18 lässt sich dadurch senkrecht zur Auflagefläche 32 aus einer Ausgangsposition elastisch auslenken. The spring means 38 is formed integrally with the latching means 18 and the coupling element 12 and has a rounding 50, on which a particularly high elastic deformation is made possible by the latching means 18. The rounding 50 rotates the spring means 38 in an unloaded state by 170 °. If the latching means 18 is pressed toward the spring means 38, the rotation of the spring means 38 increases. The latching means 18 can thereby be elastically deflected perpendicular to the support surface 32 from a starting position.
Ferner weist das Kopplungselement 12 eine Längsführungseinheit 24 auf. Die Längsführungseinheit 24 umfasst zwei Längsführungselemente 26, die einstückig mit dem Grundkörper 28 ausgebildet sind. Dabei formen die Längsführungselemente 26 einen Teil von gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden 30 des Grundkörpers 28. Die Längsführungselemente 26 bilden eine Unterkante 40 des Grundkörpers 28, der als Anlage für den Wischblattadapter 10 dient. Die Auflagefläche 32 schließt das Kopplungselement 12 nach oben hin ab. Bei einer Montage mit dem Wschblattadapter 10 liegt dieser auf der Auflagefläche 32 auf. Furthermore, the coupling element 12 has a longitudinal guide unit 24. The longitudinal guide unit 24 comprises two longitudinal guide elements 26, which are formed integrally with the main body 28. In this case, the longitudinal guide elements 26 form a part of opposite side walls 30 of the main body 28. The longitudinal guide elements 26 form a lower edge 40 of the base body 28, which serves as an abutment for the wiper blade adapter 10. The support surface 32 closes the coupling element 12 from the top. When mounted with the blade adapter 10 this is on the support surface 32.
Der Wschblattadapter 10 weist seitlich schürzenförmige Seitenführungsmittel 48 auf. An den Seitenführungsmitteln 48 erstreckt sich, größtenteils in Längsrichtung 22, jeweils ein Führungsmittel 36, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt. Das Führungsmittel 36 schließt an einem Ende mit einer Arretierungsnocke 42 ab. Die Arretierungsnocke 42 dient als Anschlag für das Kopplungselement 12 bei einer Montage. Ferner ist an jedem Seitenführungsmittel 48 ein Fortsatz 34 angeformt, der eine bogenförmige Kontur aufweist. The blade adapter 10 has laterally apron-shaped side guiding means 48. On the side guide means 48 extends, mostly in the longitudinal direction 22, in each case a guide means 36, as shown in Figure 3. The guide means 36 terminates at one end with a locking cam 42. The locking cam 42 serves as a stop for the coupling element 12 during assembly. Further, an extension 34 is formed on each side guide means 48, which has an arcuate contour.
Jeder Fortsatz 34 bildet mit dem Rastmittel 18 in einem montierten Zustand einen Formschluss. Wie weiter in Figur 4 gezeigt, ist an einer Grundplatte 44 des Wischblattadapters 10 ein Rastanschlag 46 angeformt, der für das Rastmittel 18 einen Anschlag bildet. Die Grundplatte 44 grenzt an die Seitenführungsmittel 48 bündig an. In einem montierten Zustand liegt die Grundplatte 44 auf der Auflagefläche 32 des Kopplungselements 12 auf. Each extension 34 forms with the locking means 18 in a mounted state a positive connection. As further shown in Figure 4, a latching stop 46 is integrally formed on a base plate 44 of the wiper blade adapter 10, which forms a stop for the locking means 18. The base plate 44 is adjacent to the side guide means 48 flush. In a mounted state, the base plate 44 rests on the support surface 32 of the coupling element 12.
Um den Wischblattadapter 10 mit dem Kopplungselement 12 zu koppeln, wird der Wschblattadapter 10 in einer Aufschubbewegung von der Längsführungseinheit 24 des Kopplungselements 12 aufgenommen, wie in Figur 5 gezeigt. Dabei schließen die Führungsmittel 36 bündig an das Längsführungselement 26 des Kopplungselements 12 an. Die Seitenführungsmittel 48 umschließen den Grundkörper 28 und greifen unter die Unterkante 40. In order to couple the wiper blade adapter 10 to the coupling element 12, the blade adapter 10 is received in a push-on movement by the longitudinal guide unit 24 of the coupling element 12, as shown in FIG. The guide means 36 close flush with the longitudinal guide element 26 of the coupling element 12 at. The side guide means 48 enclose the base body 28 and engage under the lower edge 40.
Das Rastmittel 18 wird während der Aufschubbewegung von der Grundplatte 44 des Wischblattadapters 10 aus einer Ausgangsposition senkrecht zur Auflagefläche 32 des Kopplungselements 12 elastisch ausgelenkt. Nachdem die Grundplatte 44 über das Rastmittel 18 geschoben ist, bewegt sich das Rastmittel 18 selbstständig in seine Ausgangsposition zurück. Dabei bildet es einen Formschluss mit dem Fortsatz 34 des Wischblattadapters 10. Des Weiteren liegt das Rastmittel 18 bündig am Rastanschlag 46 an. The latching means 18 is deflected elastically during the push-on movement of the base plate 44 of the wiper blade adapter 10 from a starting position perpendicular to the support surface 32 of the coupling element 12. After the base plate 44 is pushed over the locking means 18, the locking means 18 moves automatically back to its original position. It forms a positive connection with the extension 34 of the wiper blade adapter 10. Furthermore, the locking means 18 is flush with the locking stop 46.
Der Grundkörper 28 liegt in einem montierten Zustand an der Arretierungsnocke 42 an. Ein zu weites Aufschieben des Wischblattadapters 10 auf das Kopplungselement 12 wird dadurch vermieden. Der Wischblattadapter 10 ist nunmehr mit dem Kopplungselement 12 fest verbunden. The main body 28 abuts against the locking cam 42 in an assembled state. Too much delaying the wiper blade adapter 10 on the coupling element 12 is thereby avoided. The wiper blade adapter 10 is now firmly connected to the coupling element 12.
Um den Wischblattadapter 10 wieder vom Kopplungselement 12 zu lösen, muss das Rastelement 18 nach unten, d.h. senkrecht zur Auflagefläche 32, gedrückt werden. Solange das Rastelement 18 ausgelenkt ist, kann der Wischblattadapter 10 aus dem montierten Zustand herausgeschoben und, analog zur Montage, demontiert werden. In order to release the wiper blade adapter 10 again from the coupling element 12, the latching element 18 must be downwards, i. perpendicular to the support surface 32, are pressed. As long as the locking element 18 is deflected, the wiper blade adapter 10 can be pushed out of the assembled state and, analogously to the assembly, be disassembled.
