  • the wedge-shaped design of the support bracket locking body facilitates the pushing on and locking of the support bracket locking body with the support bracket locking recess.
  • the joint is fixed relative to the mounting bracket without pivoting.
  • the mounting bracket latching recess as a keyhole that is open to the outside, the mounting bracket can be pushed on and locked onto the joint as simply as possible.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of an assembled unit from an over. Joint connected to a lower bracket support bracket according to a first embodiment
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the bracket with joint according to FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of an assembled unit from a support bracket connected to a lower bracket via a joint according to a second embodiment
  • FIG. 4 shows a top view of the joint according to FIG. 3,
  • Fig. 5 is a plan view of the bracket according to Fig. 3 and
  • Fig. 6 is a plan view of a modified bracket compared to FIG. 3.
  • a windshield wiper for a motor vehicle is articulated on the free end of a wiper arm which is connected to the motor vehicle.
  • the windshield wiper has a central support bracket 1, which is connected to the wiper arm and is also referred to as a center bracket.
  • a lower bracket 2 which is also referred to as a claw bracket, is articulated via a joint 3.
  • a squeegee or another lower bracket is attached.
  • the support bracket 1 which is made of metal, has a U-shaped cross section that is open at the bottom and is formed by a support bracket base 4 and two support bracket legs 5, 6 that extend vertically downward from the edge thereof, the base 4 and the legs 5, 6 are formed in one piece.
  • the legs 5, 6 In the area of the free end 7 of the support bracket 1, the legs 5, 6 have insertion wall sections 8 with an essentially triangular cross section.
  • the Emschub wall sections 8 are part of the legs 5 and 6 and are offset relative to each other by approximately the thickness of the legs 5, 6.
  • the wall sections 8 are delimited with respect to the legs 5 and 6 by stop edges 9, which delimit the insertion wall section 8 with respect to the legs 5 and 6.
  • the opposite wall sections 8 each have a support bracket latching recess 10 with an essentially rectangular cross section.
  • the edge of the locking recess 10 facing the free end 7 is referred to as the locking edge 11.
  • the metal lower bracket 2 also has a U-shaped cross section open at the bottom and is formed by a lower bracket base 12 and two lower bracket legs 13, 14 extending vertically downward therefrom, the base 12 and the Legs 13, 14 are formed in one piece.
  • the support bracket 1 is dimensioned so that it can partially grip around the lower bracket 2.
  • two opposing mounting holes 15 are provided in the legs 13, 14, two opposing mounting holes 15 are provided.
  • the joint 3 made of plastic has a U-shaped cross section with a joint base plate 16 and two joint legs 17, 18 which extend vertically downward on the edge thereof.
  • the two legs 17, 18 are each downward and counter to the insertion Pockets arranged in the direction of 19 are delimited to the outside by a pocket wall 21 running parallel to the legs 17 and 18, respectively.
  • the pocket wall 21 has an essentially triangular cross-section, the space enclosed by the pocket 20 essentially corresponding to the insertion wall section 8 with regard to the outer contour.
  • a locking wedge 22 designed as a support bracket locking body, which rises against the insertion direction 19 and ends with a locking projection 23.
  • the essentially rectangular cross section of the locking wedge 22 essentially corresponds to the locking recess 10.
  • a cylindrical locking pin 24 On the inside of the legs 17 and 18 there is in each case a cylindrical locking pin 24, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the receiving bore 15.
  • a longitudinal slot 25 is provided, which merges into a transverse slot 26 at the end lying opposite the insertion direction 19.
  • the assembly of the support bracket with a lower bracket 2 using the joint 3 is described below.
  • the lower bracket 2 is pushed into the joint 3 along the insertion direction 19 or, if appropriate, from below until the locking pins 24 snap into the receiving bores 15.
  • An elastic pushing apart of the locking pins 24 is possible primarily due to the longitudinal slot 25 and the transverse slot 26.
  • the unit consisting of lower bracket 2 and hinge 3 is then inserted into the free end 7 of the mounting bracket 1 along the insertion direction 19, the wall sections 8 being inserted into the pockets 20 until the locking wedge 22 engages in the associated locking recess 10 and locking edge 11 and locking projection 23 are in the stop. Since the pocket wall 21 is only fixed on two sides, the locking wedge 22 when inserting the bracket 1 are pressed elastically outwards.
  • the outside 27 of the pocket wall 21 and the outside 28 of the legs 5 and 6 lying behind the stop edge 9 in the insertion direction 19 are flush with one another, so that a complete optical image is obtained.
  • the lower bracket 2 is now elastically articulated on the bracket 1 and pivotable about the locking pin 24.
  • the possible swiveling range between lower bracket 2 and support bracket 1 is selected such that it is adapted to the changes in curvature when wiping on a front or rear window of a motor vehicle.
  • the advantage of the joint 3 is that the mounting of the lower bracket 2 and bracket 1, both of which are made of metal, can be carried out simply, quickly and automatically, since only the parts have to be locked together. It is particularly advantageous in the design of the joint 3 that an aesthetically uniform closure of the support bracket is created and functional elements such as locking recesses or locking bodies are no longer recognizable.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 A second embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. Identical parts are given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment. Structurally "different, but functionally similar parts are given the same reference numerals with a prime. Otherwise, reference is made to the description of the first exemplary embodiment.
  • the latching recesses 10 'in the legs 5 and 6 have the shape of an open downward 5 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the pockets 20 there is in each case a kel 17 or 18 connected cylindrical pin 31 is provided, which has a spring slot 32, so that the pin 31 is elastically compressible to a certain extent.
  • the joint 3 ' is snapped onto the lower bracket 2. Subsequently, the support bracket 1 is snapped onto the joint 3 'from above, the pins 31 engaging with the respective keyhole-shaped locking recesses 10'.
  • the joint 3 ' is connected to the support bracket by pushing it into the support bracket 1 along the direction of insertion 19.
