The invention relates to a wiper blade () having a support composed of a plurality of support components () that are joined to one another by welding, gluing, or the like and have at least one longitudinal channel () incorporating a pre-curved elastic support element () and two parallel retaining rails () separated by a longitudinal gap (), for a wiper strip (), wherein a connecting element () is arranged in the center region of the wiper blade () for the articulated connection to a wiper arm. It is proposed that at least two support elements in the form of spring bars () having a round cross-section are provided in corresponding separate longitudinal channels (), between which the retaining rails () are arranged.

Wiper blade

The invention is based on a wiper blade () with a wiper strip () which has a wiper lip () and a head strip () which is integrally formed on said wiper lip and, in a first longitudinal channel (), has a supporting element in the form of a spring rail () with a flat cross section, and has a spoiler () on that side which faces away from the wiper lip (). It is proposed that the spoiler () surrounds the head strip () on its longitudinal sides by means of guide rails ().

The invention is based on a connection element () for connecting a wiper blade (), which has at least one spring rail () as a supporting element, to a wiper arm in an articulated manner, with the connection element () having claws () which are integrally formed on the side of a base part () and, in the mounted state, surround and retain the spring rail () by the base part () being supported on a part of a wiper rubber () which is arranged between the spring rail () and the base part (). The invention proposes that the connection element () has means () with which the surface pressure between the base part () and the wiper rubber () is locally increased.
