Wiper blade for cleaning vehicle windscreens

A wiper blade for cleaning vehicle windscreens, the wiper blade comprising:

• a wiper rubber with groove-like holding fixtures formed in the longitudinal sides of the wiper rubber, in which spring strips are partially contained,
• wherein the spring strips project laterally from the holding fixtures with their longitudinal sides;
• and
• an adapter element consisting at least essentially of plastic for the at least indirect attachment of the wiper blade to a wiper arm,
• wherein the adapter element exhibits groove-like guides which are disposed on the two longitudinal sides of the adapter element on sides facing one another,
• wherein the guides contact and encompass sections of the spring strips that project from the holding fixtures,
• wherein the adapter element is connected to at least one separate reinforcing element which encompasses the sections of the spring strips that project from the holding fixtures,
• wherein the reinforcing element is directly attached to the spring strips and wherein the reinforcing element and the adapter element slidably attach to the spring strips in a longitudinal direction,
• wherein the reinforcing element is disposed on and covers an external surface of the adapter element,
• wherein the reinforcing element is disposed in the area of a front end section of the adapter element,
• wherein the reinforcing element is made of metal,
• wherein the reinforcing element is in the form of a deep-drawn part and covers the front edge of the adapter element,
• wherein the reinforcing element exhibits a circumferential edge section on the side facing the adapter element,
• the edge section encompassing the adapter element on a front edge thereof facing the adapter element in a positive locking manner and positioning the reinforcing element relative to the adapter element,
• wherein the reinforcing element is connected to the adapter element by a locking connection, the adapter element positioning the reinforcing element relative to the adapter element,
• wherein the locking connection is formed by two locks on opposite sides on the reinforcing element, which engage in recesses in the adapter element,
• wherein the reinforcing element exhibits additional openings for the feed-through of at least washer fluid connections that project out of the adapter element, and
• wherein the washer fluid connections are connected to hose lines via corresponding feed elements.

A wiper blade for cleaning vehicle windscreens comprising:

• a wiper rubber with groove-like holding fixtures foamed in the longitudinal sides of the wiper rubber, in which spring strips are partially contained,
• wherein the spring strips project laterally from the holding fixtures with their longitudinal sides,
• an adapter element consisting at least essentially of plastic for the at least indirect attachment of the wiper blade to a wiper arm,
• wherein the adapter element has a central position in the wiper blade and is configured to interact with a second adapter element on a corresponding wiper-arm side which is arranged pivotably on the adapter element, and
• wherein the adapter element exhibits groove-like guides which are disposed on the two longitudinal sides of the adapter element on sides facing one another,
• wherein the guides contact and encompass first sections of the spring strips that project from the holding fixtures,
• wherein the adapter element is connected to at least one separate reinforcing element, wherein the reinforcing element encompasses second sections of the spring strips that project from the holding fixtures,
• wherein the first sections of the spring strips are separate from the second sections of the spring strips,
• wherein the reinforcing element is directly attached to the spring strips and is disposed on and covers an external surface of the adapter element, and
• wherein the reinforcing element and the adapter element slidably attach to the spring strips in a longitudinal direction.

A wiper blade for a vehicle, comprising:

• an adapter, made of plastic, that attaches to a wiper arm, comprising:
• an adapter cutout that spans a lateral length of the adapter,
• a plurality of groove-like guides on opposite internal longitudinal sides of the adapter cutout, and
• an external surface on a lateral side of the adapter;
• a reinforcement, that directly attaches to the adapter and at least partially covers the external surface, comprising:
• a reinforcement cutout spanning a lateral length of the reinforcement,
• a plurality of rectangular clearances disposed on opposite internal longitudinal sides of the reinforcement cutout, and
• wherein the reinforcement is made exclusively of metal;
• a plurality of spring strips that, respectively:
• span a lateral length of the of the wiper blade,
• traverse the adapter cutout,
• directly attach to the plurality of groove-like guides of the adapter,
• traverse the reinforcement cutout, and
• directly attach to the plurality of rectangular clearances of the reinforcement;
• and
• a wiper rubber that spans the lateral length of the wiper blade, comprising:
• a wiper lip, and
• a plurality of holding fixtures on opposite external longitudinal sides of the wiper rubber that are directly attached to the plurality of spring strips, respectively.
