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 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.

The invention relates to a device () for connecting a wiper blade () to a wiper arm () of a windshield wiper in an articulated manner, which comprises a joining element (), which is joined in a fixed manner to the wiper arm (), and a connecting element (), which is joined in a fixed manner to a supporting element () of the wiper blade () and on which a plastic adapter () is pivotally mounted. The adapter () is fixed in the profile of the joining element (), said profile being open toward the connecting element (), by means of fastening means (). The invention provides that a filler piece () is placed in the joining element () on the side facing the wiper arm () following the adapter (). Said filler piece rests tightly against the inside walls of the joining element () and against the adjacent face of the adapter ().

Device for connecting a wiper blade to a wiper arm of a windshield wiper in an articulated manner

The invention relates to a device () for the pivoting connection of a wiper blade () to a wiper arm () of a windscreen wiper, comprising a connector element () fixed to the wiper arm () and a connector element () fixed to a support element () on the wiper blade (), which supports a bearing element (), forming a pivoting bearing with a bearing element () on an adapter () made from plastic. The adaptor () is fixed in the profile of the connector element () open in the direction of the connector element () by clip elements () and retainer elements (). According to the invention, the connector element () is an essentially rectangular hollow body, open on the side facing the connector element (), with a fixing element () molded on a longitudinal side thereof which covers the longitudinal side and is fixed to the end of the wiper arm () and at least the front walls () and a cover wall () of the connector element () are essentially sealed.
