A windscreen wiper device includes an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes opposing longitudinal grooves on its longitudinal sides, in which grooves spaced-apart longitudinal strips of the carrier element are disposed. Neighboring ends of the longitudinal strips are interconnected respective connecting pieces. The connecting piece comprises engaging members engaging around the longitudinal strips, wherein the strips and the connecting piece are slidably connected by means of a snap connection. At least one pin extending in a direction perpendicular to the windscreen to be wiped engages the wiper blade at a location of a hole in one of the longitudinal strips to block longitudinal movement of the wiper blade relative to the strip in a longitudinal direction thereof away from the connecting piece.
A windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes opposing longitudinal grooves on its longitudinal sides, said grooves being spaced below a top portion of said wiper blade, in which grooves spaced-apart longitudinal strips of the carrier element are disposed, wherein neighbouring ends of said longitudinal strips are interconnected by connecting pieces, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating wiper arm, wherein said connecting pieces are made as separate pieces and are spaced longitudinally from said connecting device and comprise engaging members engaging around the longitudinal strips, so that said strips are mounted in grooves formed by said engaging members, wherein said strips and said connecting pieces are slidably connected by means of a snap connection, wherein pins extend in a direction perpendicular to the windscreen to be wiped through said top portion of said wiper blade and through a hole in one of said longitudinal strips and engage into said wiper blade at a location of a bottom of said groove accommodating said strip, wherein said pins are arranged to block a longitudinal movement of said wiper blade relative to said strip in a longitudinal direction thereof away from said connecting pieces, and wherein said pins are located adjacent terminal ends of said elongated wiper blade, and wherein said pins are separate constructional elements.
