Abstract
An adapter for windshield wiper arms which is used to couple a wiper arm to a wiper blade is provided. The adapter is capable of accommodating a variety of wiper arm types known as the hook, bayonet and pin type wiper arms, and even the different size hook-and pin type wiper arms. Further, the adapter has vertical wings with protrusions formed at outer surfaces thereof so as to thereby reduce a friction caused between the adapter and the adapter accommodating portion of the wiper blade, and a plurality of embossings formed at inner walls of vertical wings so as to thereby prevent the hook type wiper arm from vibrating.
