ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided for connecting one type arm end connector to a cross pin of a cross pin-type wiper blade. The connector has a body portion having a longitudinal axis with one part of the body portion receiving the end of a wiper arm and a second part of said body portion engaging the cross pin of the blade. Said second part has a pin-receiving slot in the forward facing wall and a pair of sidewardly-urged latch legs having contact surfaces spaced from the transverse axis of said pin-receiving slot. The legs are squeezed together as the pin-receiving slot is aligned with the cross pin and the squeezed legs are threaded between the side walls of the blade. The legs are released as the slot of the connector is snapped over the pin. The connector is rotated about the axis of the pin until the latch legs snap out of the opening between the walls of the blade. The contact surfaces of the legs are spaced above the edges of the walls of the blade as the connector and its associated arm are articulated relative to the blade through the normal range of blade and arm movement. The connector cannot be removed from the blade without first squeezing the legs against the body portion and pivoting the connector relative to the blade to move the legs between the walls of the blades whereupon the connector can be pulled transverse to the axis of the blade to unsnap the connector from the blade.
