Claim Text:
1. A wiper blade adaptor device, comprising a wiper blade adaptor ( 10 ) and a coupling element ( 12 ) for coupling the wiper blade adaptor ( 10 ) to a wiper blade ( 14 ), characterized in that the wiper blade adaptor ( 10 ) is connected releasably to the coupling element ( 12 ), wherein the coupling element ( 12 ) has a basic body ( 28 ) and at least one latching means ( 18 ) which is arranged at a free end of the coupling element ( 12 ) and which is configured to form, in a fitted state, a form-fitting connection to the wiper blade adaptor ( 10 ), and wherein the wiper blade adaptor has a skirt-shaped side guide ( 48 ) which surrounds the basic body ( 28 ), wherein the coupling element ( 12 ) has a longitudinal guide unit ( 24 ) which is provided to wide the wiper blade adaptor ( 10 ) upon a pushing-on movement during installation, wherein the longitudinal guide unit ( 24 ) comprises two longitudinal guide elements ( 26 ) which are formed in one piece with the basic body, each of the longitudinal guide elements forming a part of a respective one of opposite side walls ( 30 ) of the basic body, wherein the longitudinal guide elements form a lower edge ( 40 ) of the basic body which serves as a bearing for the wiper blade adaptor, wherein, in order to couple the wiper blade adaptor to the coupling element, the wiper blade adaptor is received by the longitudinal guide unit of the coupling element in the pushing-on movement, such that the side guide adjoins the longitudinal guide elements of the coupling element and the side guide surrounds the basic body ( 28 ) and reaches under the lower edge ( 40 ), and wherein a guide member ( 36 ) extends generally longitudinally on each of the side guides, each guide member ending at one end with a locking cam ( 42 ) that serves as a stop for the coupling element ( 12 ) during installation.
