Abstract
The invention relates to a wiper blade ( ) for motor vehicle windows. The wiper blade includes a rubber-elastic wiper strip ( ) stretched out long in the manner of a band that can be placed against the window with a wiper lip, the two side walls of which each include a longitudinal groove ( ) which is situated in a plane that is basically parallel to the window ( ) and has clearance from the window, so that a bridge ( ) remains between the two grooves, and a spring ( and/or ) is accommodated in each longitudinal groove-that belongs to a spring-elastic carrier element ( ) stretched out long in the manner of a band. Retention of the required flexibility of the wiper blade even with problematic window configurations is ensured when the distance ( ) between the facing longitudinal edges ( ) of the two springs ( ) is greater than the width ( ) of the bridge ( ).
