Abstract
A windscreen wiper device () of the flat blade type, particularly for automobiles, includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade () of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove (), in which groove at least one longitudinal strip () of the carrier element is disposed. A connecting device () is connected to the flexible material of the wiper blade by at least one pin (), that cooperates with a recess () provided along an exterior edge of the longitudinal strip in order to limit any movement of the wiper blade in longitudinal direction thereof relative to the longitudinal strip at the location of the interconnection of the connecting device and the wiper blade. The connecting device has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, wherein free ends of legs () of the U-shaped cross-section extend inwardly so as to form grooves for receiving longitudinal sides of the wiper blade. At least one of the legs is provided with a hole () for receiving the pin, with the special feature that the pin is glued to an inner wall () of the hole or the pin is form-locked inside the hole.
