A wiper blade () consisting of a rubber profiled element () comprising a wiper lip () and at least one carrier element () that can be connected to a wiper arm () by means of a fixing element () and a connection element (). The fixing element () comprises a covering cap () and the connection element () fixed to the wiper arm () secures the wiper blade () perpendicularly to a pivoting axis () by means of a clip (), on the end () thereof at an angle to the wiper blade. According to the invention, the covering cap () comprises an opening () or recess for the angular end () of the clip (), on the side of the cap opposing the rubber profiled element (), in the region of the connection element (), said opening only partially overlapping the covering cap () in the mounted position.

Wiper blade

The invention relates to a connecting device () for a wiper arm () and a wiper blade (). Said wiper blade comprises a first connecting part () on the wiper blade end and a second connecting part () on the wiper arm end, both parts being juxtaposed in the operational position and being connected to each other via a hinge element () so that they can be swiveled about a hinge axis. Securing means () are provided so that the first and second connecting part () engage with each other. The invention is characterized in that the first connecting part () has a recess () for accommodating the securing means () in which a longitudinal, shaped portion () is provided which is parallel to the hinge axis. The invention also relates to a flat bar wiper blade () which comprises a first connecting part () for fastening the flat bar wiper blade () to a wiper arm (). The connecting part () comprises a counter-hinge element () so that the flat bar wiper blade () can be connected to the wiper arm () so that it can be swiveled about a hinge axis. Said flat bar wiper blade is characterized in that a recess () for accommodating a securing means () is provided in which a longitudinal, shaped portion () is provided which is parallel to the hinge axis.
