Abstract
The invention relates to a device to connect a wiper arm () to a wiper blade () featuring a supporting element () holding a wiper strip () on which a base element () is fastened as the first part of a coupling device, whereby the wiper arm () is embodied to be U-shaped and overlaps the base element () with its U-shape and whereby holding means () are embodied on the wiper arm () within its U-shape, which holding means form a second part of a coupling device and cooperate with the first part of the coupling device. It is proposed that the holding means () be embodied as articulated means for holding the wiper blade () in an articulated manner, which can also transmit a bearing force () on the wiper blade () to be exerted by the wiper arm () on the wiper blade () in an operating position and which are at least approximately completely covered by the wiper arm ().
