Abstract
In a windshield wiper arm with a first component arm ( ), a second component arm ( ) and a hinge which joins the first and the second component arm to one another with a folding capacity so that the two component arms can be swivelled relative to one another out of an initial position into a pivoted-up position, the pivoted-up position will be precisely defined. For this purpose it is provided that the first component arm is provided with at least one catch ( ) and the second component arm is provided with at least one projection ( ) which are arranged such that they can make contact with one another in order to prevent swivelling of the two component arms beyond the pivoted-up position.
