Abstract

The present invention is related to an end cap assembly (105) for a wiper blade unit (100) that comprises a pair of splines (102a, 102b) and a wiping element (101). The end cap assembly (105) is configured to be installed at a longitudinal end (100a) of the wiper blade unit (100), and comprises: a fixed portion (105a, 115a, 125a, 135a) configured to be fixedly assembled to the longitudinal end (100a). The fixed portion (105a, 115a, 125a, 135a) is configured to prevent a transversal movement of the pair of splines (102a, 102b). Further, the end cap assembly comprises a removable portion (105b, 115b, 125b, 135b, 145b) configured to be detachably coupled to the fixed portion (105a, 115a, 125a, 135a), and the removable portion (105b, 115b, 125b, 135b, 145b) is configured to prevent a longitudinal movement of the wiping element (101).

Abstract

A spring element includes a body, at least one leaf spring and a stress relieving section. The body includes at least one mounting section. The leaf spring includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion being secured to the body and at least a part thereof extends angularly with respect to a plane of the body. The leaf spring exerts an urging pressure on an element disposed between the body and a housing as the body is mounted on the housing. The stress relieving section is formed along at least one lateral side of the leaf spring and proximal to the first portion.
