Abstract
A wiper blade is proposed, which is for cleaning for windows, particularly of motor vehicles. The wiper blade () has an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (), which can be placed against the window () and is connected to an elongated, spring-elastic support element () so that their longitudinal axes are parallel, which support element () is directly connected to a device () for connecting the wiper blade to a driven wiper arm (). The support element () has two band-like spring strips (), which are situated in a plane that is disposed in front of the window, essentially parallel to the window, and whose one, lower band surfaces () are oriented toward the window and whose adjacent, inner longitudinal edges (), which are disposed spaced a distance () apart from each other, each protrude into a respective longitudinal groove (, or), which grooves are associated with each longitudinal edge and are open toward a respective longitudinal side of the wiper strip (), and these two spring strips () are connected to each other by at least two crosspieces () disposed spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. Manufacturing advantages for the wiper blade according to the invention are achieved if each crosspiece () has a middle section () which extends spaced a distance () apart from the upper band surfaces () of the spring strips (), producing bridge-like crosspieces, where the distance () between the two longitudinal strips () is less than the bridge width ().
