A support () for the joint hinge of a wiper blade () at a hook-shaped end () of a bar () in a windshield wiper. Owing to an open hub on part of its periphery (), the support can be slipped on a bearing shank of the wiper blade () and, so mounted, be maintained by the hook-shaped end () above hub surfaces () and ratchet elements (). The two side walls () which are connected by the hub () and a plurality of crossbars () extend in the longitudinal direction (), on both sides, towards the hub () and the inside widths () between the side walls () are different at their opposite ends.

Support for the joint hinge of wiper blade

Bearing part (,) for an articulation of a wiper blade (,) at a hook-shaped end (,) of a wiper rod (,) of a windshield wiper, which bearing part (,) can be placed on a bearing pin (,) of the wiper blade (,) with a hub (,) which is open along a portion of its circumference and is introduced into the hook-shaped end (,) and held by the hook-shaped end (,) in assembled state via contact faces (,) and catch means (,), characterized in that an elongated base body (,) has two arms (,) which are arranged diametrically relative to the hub (,) held in the hub (,) so as to be rotatable coaxial to the hub (,) in a holding clip (,) whose side walls (,) project in the longitudinal direction (,) over lateral surfaces of the base body (,) and are connected with one another by at least one crosspiece (,), wherein the arms (,) are constructed in different ways for receiving wiper rods (,) with different hook-shaped ends (,).
