Abstract
A device is proposed which is used to wipe windows of motor vehicles. The wiping device has an oscillatingly driven wiper arm ( ), guided on the motor vehicle, on whose free end, remote from the oscillation axis ( ), a wiper blade ( ) which is elongated transversely to the oscillation direction, that can be placed against the window ( ) is releasably hinged via a connection device ( ) that has coupling parts of the wiper arm and of the wiper blade, and the hinge axis ( ) extends substantially in the oscillation direction (double arrow ). In such a wiping device, an especially low-wear hinge is obtained if the wiping device has at least one support shoulder ( and ), fixed to the wiper arm and pointing toward the oscillation axis ( ), with which a check shoulder ( and ) fixed to the wiper blade and pointing away from the oscillation axis ( ) is associated.
