Quick connecting device for fin ray wiper

A windshield wiper device for a vehicle, the windshield wiper device comprising:

• a wiper arm (1) with a wiper blade (2), the wiper blade including
• an elongate upper part (10), which is configured to be at least partially bendable,
• an elongate lower part (12), which is configured to be at least partially bendable, and
• a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), wherein the connecting elements (18) are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2), wherein the connecting elements (18) are configured to permit a movement of the upper part (10) and the lower part (12) relative to each other with a movement component along the longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2),
• wherein the windshield wiper device furthermore has a quick connecting device (32) which is configured to connect the wiper arm (1) releasably to a drive shaft (35) of a drive unit of the vehicle, wherein the quick connecting device (32) includes
• an engagement part (36) which is configured to engage in the drive shaft (35) and/or in a torque transmission part (37) attached to the drive shaft (35), in order to transmit a torque from the drive shaft (35) to the wiper arm (1) via the quick connecting device (32), and
• an elastic clamping jaw (38) which is configured to transfer the engagement part (36), when an external force is applied, from a clamping position
• (K), in which the quick connecting device (32) clamps the wiper arm (1) to the drive shaft (35), into a release position (F), in which the wiper arm (1) is removable from the drive shaft (35)
• wherein the clamping jaw (38) is configured to absorb the external force in an elastically flexible manner in a direction of action of force (44) which is oriented approximately perpendicular to a drive axis (33) of the drive shaft (35)
• wherein the quick connecting device (32) includes an oval release mechanism in which a triggering direction (46) in which the engagement part (36) is moved in order to reach the release position (F) is oriented approximately perpendicular to the direction of action of force (44).
