A windshield wiper device () especially for a motor vehicle is proposed. Said device is comprised essentially of a plate-shaped base (), on which a drive unit (), a wiper bearing () and a retaining element () are arranged. In accordance with the invention, the plate-shaped base () is provided with predetermined breaking points ().

Windshield wiping device, especially for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a windscreen wiper device (), in particular for a motor vehicle, screwed to a chassis (). Conventional windscreen wiper devices do not yield on an impact with a pedestrian and hence represent a significant injury risk for pedestrians. According to the invention, the risk of injury may be reduced whereby the housing openings (), provided for housing screws () in the chassis () comprise a slot () at the edge of the housing opening ().

Windscreen wiper device

A windshield wiper device (), particularly for a motor vehicle, is proposed. This windshield wiper device comprises a wiper bearing () supporting a wiper shaft (), which has an undercut () in which a securing device () for axially fixing the wiper shaft () in the wiper bearing () is arranged. The securing device () can be displaced by the effects of a defined axial force component (F) on the wiper shaft (), whereby the wiper shaft () can be displaced in relationship to the wiper bearing (). According to the invention, the securing device () comprises a bushing section () with an indentation (), which engages in the undercut () of the wiper shaft ().
