Patent ID: 8769761

Claim:
An end fitting for a wiper blade of longitudinal orientation, the blade comprising: a stiffening vertebra, a wiping rubber, and a mount supporting the vertebra and rubber, wherein each of the vertebra, wiping rubber and mount are of longitudinal orientation, wherein: the end fitting is able to be mounted on a longitudinal end of the blade, the end fitting comprises: a longitudinal housing open in a direction of a first longitudinal end of the end fitting, into which a longitudinal end of the vertebra is able to be received, wherein the longitudinal housing is delimited by a horizontal lower bottom and two vertical longitudinal walls extending upwards from the horizontal lower bottom, and elastic tongues for locking the longitudinal end of the vertebra in an engaged position in the longitudinal housing, wherein each tongue extends longitudinally forward and is curved towards an inside of the longitudinal housing so that a free front end of each tongue is able to cooperate with an associated notch produced in a longitudinal edge of the longitudinal end of the vertebra, wherein each tongue is configured to elastically deform in a plane substantially parallel to the horizontal lower bottom, wherein the tongues are produced symmetrically with respect to a vertical longitudinal mid-plane of the longitudinal housing, and wherein the horizontal lower bottom comprises two openings distributed symmetrically with respect to the vertical longitudinal mid-plane, each opening being arranged in line with one of the tongues.
