Wiper blade with wiper strip to carrier element attachment means

Abstract

A wiper blade () for windows, in particular of motor vehicles, is proposed that is equipped with a long, rubber-elastic wiper strip () that can be placed against the window (), that is situated parallel to the longitudinal axis on a long, spring-elastic carrier element () to which a component () belonging to a device for attaching the wiper blade () to a driven wiper arm () is directly connected, whereby the carrier element () has springs () designed in the shape of a strap lying in front of the window () in a plane that is basically parallel to the window, the bottom surfaces of the strap () of which face the window, the inner, adjacent longitudinal edges () of which have a distance between them and plunge individually into longitudinal grooves () assigned to each longitudinal edge and open toward the longitudinal side of the wiper strip, and that are connected to each other by way of at least two transverse ribs () situated in the longitudinal direction with distance between them. A reliable and stressfree attachment of the wiper strip to the carrier element is insured when each transverse rib () has a center section () that extends at a distance from the top strap surfaces () of the springs () so that bridge-like transverse ribs result, whereby the distance () between the two springs is less than the bridge width (), and means of attachment () are situated on the carrier element () to secure the wiper strip () to the carrier element () in its longitudinal direction.
