A device for the articulated connection of a wiper blade to a wiper arm includes a connection element connected to a carrier element of the wiper blade. The connection element has a side wall on each longitudinal side angled toward the wiper arm. The adapter encompasses the side wall of the connection element on each side and includes a spring switch on the side of the adapter facing the wiper arm and guide and retaining means for the wiper arm. The adapter has at least one first adapter element and one second adapter element. The first adapter element comprises the inner and outer side walls. The inner side walls are connected to each other via a base and a contact part. The contact part has an outer contour to receive a hook-shaped end of the wiper arm and a second adapter element on which the spring switch is disposed.

Device for the articulated connection of a wiper blade to a wiper arm of a windshield wiper

The invention relates to a connection device () for the articulated connection of a wiper blade () to a wiper arm, wherein a connection element () is tightly connected to the free end of the wiper arm, and the connection element is connected in an articulated manner via mounting means () to an adapter (), and the adapter is tightly seated on a support element () of the wiper blade (). It is suggested that a base cover (), which surrounds the adapter () and which can be attached to the adapter or to the support element (), has a guide rail () running in the longitudinal direction (), and that a push-spring () is mounted thereon and is adjustable in the longitudinal direction (), and that the push-spring can be attached to a guide block () of the base cover () in different positions with different offset distances () in the longitudinal direction () of the guide rail () by means of locking means (), wherein the guide block is connected to the end of the guide rail () on the wiper arm side.
