Abstract:
A refillable wiper blade ( 36 ) including a refill subassembly ( 38 ) and a coupler ( 48 ) adapted for releasable attachment thereto. The refill subassembly includes a wiping element ( 42 ), an elongated spline ( 44 ) supporting the element, and a retention clip ( 46 ) operatively attached to the spline. The clip has a body ( 58 ) and an upwardly-biased cantilevered finger ( 60 ) extending from the body. The coupler has a first end ( 62 A) shaped to receive the body of the clip, and a relief ( 64 ) defined adjacent to the first end and shaped to accommodate the finger of the clip. The refill subassembly and the coupler cooperate such that predetermined movement of the coupler with respect to the refill subassembly brings the body into engagement with the first end of the coupler such that the finger deflects downwardly until subsequent movement of the coupler along the spline releases the finger upwardly and into the relief of the coupler thereby securing the refill subassembly to the coupler.

Claim (Index 1):
A refillable wiper blade comprising:\n a refill subassembly including a wiping element adapted to contact the surface to be wiped, at least one elongated spline acting to support said wiping element, and a retention clip operatively attached to said spline, said retention clip having a clip body and an upwardly-biased cantilevered finger extending from said clip body; and a coupler adapted for releasable attachment to said refill subassembly, said coupler having a first end shaped to receive said clip body of said retention clip, and a relief defined adjacent to said first end and shaped to accommodate said cantilevered finger of said retention clip; wherein said refill subassembly and said coupler cooperate such that predetermined movement of said coupler with respect to said spline of said refill subassembly brings said clip body into engagement with said first end of said coupler such that said cantilevered finger deflects downwardly until subsequent movement of said coupler along said spline releases said cantilevered finger upwardly and into said relief of said coupler thereby securing said refill subassembly to said coupler.
