Abstract
The invention is based on a link element () for windshield wipers, which is adjoined by a wiper rod () and is manufactured out of a metal sheet () by means of stamping and bending, in which, starting from a longitudinally aligned covering wall (), at least one wall part of a side wall () is comprised of a number of sheet metal layers produced by being bent inward by 180°, and a hanging device () for a tension spring is fastened to the innermost sheet metal layer and protrudes into a free space () between the side walls (). The invention proposes that a slot () lateral to the longitudinal direction () of the link element () be let into the innermost sheet metal layer from the bottom edge () and that a pin () be inserted into this slot.
