CONNECTION ASSEMBLY FOR A WIPER SYSTEM OF A VEHICULE

The present invention relates to a connection assembly 200 for a wiper system 10. The connection assembly 200 includes a pivot shaft 105 rotatably mounted in a through bore 104d of a pivot housing 104, and an arm head 103 attached to the shaft 105. The arm head 103 includes a shaft-receiving portion 400 having a hub 400b to receive and secure the shaft 105. A retaining means 300 is provided to restrict relative movement between the shaft 105 and the housing 104. When an impact force more than a predefined threshold force is applied on the arm head 103, the retaining means 300 breaks/deforms allowing arm head 103 with the shaft 105 to collapse. When the arm head 103 is collapsed, at least a portion of the hub 400b is received in the through bore 104d. The collapsible connection assembly 200 reduces injury to pedestrian in case of collision.
