A device for pivotally connecting a wiper blade (12) for motor vehicle windows (10) to a wiper arm (14) which can be moved between reversal positions and is guided on the vehicle. On its free end section, the wiper arm (14) is provided with a pivot bolt extending essentially in the movement direction for connecting an elongated wiper blade, which has an elongated elastic support element (22) whose underside oriented toward the window has a wiper strip (20) disposed on it, which can be placed against the window (10), and the support element is provided with a transverse bore (68) that is open toward its top, whose opening width constitutes a narrow point (72) that is narrower than the bore diameter, wherein the edge regions of the narrow point can be elastically spread open to the size of the bore diameter. The particular demands on the support and on the transverse bore or the narrow point in order to connect the wiper arm are taken into consideration if the support element has at least one band-like, elongated, spring-elastic support strip for holding the wiper strip (20), whose top (37) remote from the window (10) has a coupling element (46) disposed on it, which is made of an elastic plastic and is provided with the transverse bore (68).
A device pivotally connecting an elongated wiper blade (12) for a motor vehicle window (10) to a wiper arm (14) which can be moved between reversal positions and having a free end section, wherein said free end section is provided with a pivot bolt (40) extending essentially in a movement direction for connecting the elongated wiper blade, said wiper blade having an elongated, elastic support member (22) having an underside oriented toward the window, wherein said underside has an elongated wiper strip (20) disposed on it, wherein said wiper strip is placeable against the window (10), wherein the support member (22) has a coupling element (46) disposed thereon, said coupling element is provided with a transverse bore (68) that is open toward a top of the bore, wherein an opening width of said bore constitutes a narrow point (72) that is narrower than a diameter of the bore, wherein edge regions of the narrow point can be elastically spread open to a size of the bore diameter, characterized in that the support member has two elongated support strips comprised of a spring-elastic metal for holding the wiper strip (20), whose top (37) remote from the window (10) has the coupling element (46) disposed on it, wherein said coupling element is made of an elastic plastic and is provided with the transverse bore (68), wherein said two elongated support strips (38) are disposed in longitudinal grooves (36) of the wiper strip that are open at edges toward longitudinal sides of the wiper strip (20), and over at least one longitudinal section, the support strips (38) respectively protrude laterally out from the longitudinal grooves with an edge strip (44) and wherein the coupling element (46) is secured to the two edge strips of the support strips.
A device pivotally connecting an elongated wiper blade (12) for a motor vehicle window (10) to a wiper arm (14) which can be moved between reversal positions and having a free end section, wherein said free end section is provided with a pivot bolt (40) extending essentially in a movement direction for connecting the elongated wiper blade, said wiper blade having an elongated, elastic support member (22) having an underside oriented toward the window, wherein said underside has an elongated wiper strip (20) disposed on it, wherein said wiper strip is placeable against the window (10), wherein the support member (22) has a coupling element (46) disposed thereon, said coupling element is provided with a transverse bore (68) that is open toward a top of the bore, wherein an opening width of said bore constitutes a narrow point (72) that is narrower than a diameter of the bore, wherein edge regions of the narrow point can be elastically spread open to a size of the bore diameter, characterized in that the support member has at least one elongated, spring-elastic support strip for holding the wiper strip (20), whose top (37) remote from the window (10) has the coupling element (46) disposed on it, wherein said coupling element is made of an elastic plastic and is provided with the transverse bore (68), wherein the device is provided with locking means (98, 99) for securing an operating position between the transverse bore (68) and the pivot bolt (40), wherein the locking means have a stop shoulder (98), said stop shoulder disposed on the wiper arm (14) pointing away from the window (10), and wherein said stop shoulder is associated with an opposing shoulder (99) of the coupling element (46) oriented toward the window (10).
A device pivotally connecting an elongated wiper blade (12) for a motor vehicle window (10) to a wiper arm (14) which can be moved between reversal positions and having a free end section, wherein said free end section is provided with a pivot bolt (40) extending essentially in a movement direction for connecting the elongated wiper blade, said wiper blade having an elongated, elastic support member (22) having an underside oriented toward the window, wherein said underside has an elongated wiper strip (20) disposed on it, wherein said wiper strip is placeable against the window (10), wherein the support member (22) has a coupling element (46) disposed thereon, said coupling element is provided with a transverse bore (68) that is open toward a top of the bore, wherein an opening width of said bore constitutes a narrow point (72) that is narrower than a diameter of the bore, wherein edge regions of the narrow point can be elastically spread open to a size of the bore diameter, characterized in that the support member has at least one elongated, spring-elastic support strip for holding the wiper strip (20), whose top (37) remote from the window (10) has the coupling element (46) disposed on it, wherein said coupling element is made of an elastic plastic and is provided with the transverse bore (68), wherein in a vicinity of the pivot bolt (40), the wiper arm (14) has two side walls (32) spaced apart from and parallel to each other, wherein said side walls are aligned protruding toward the window (10) and which each secure one end of the pivot bolt (40), wherein the side walls (32) are constituted by legs (30) of the wiper arm (14) which has a U-shaped cross section at least in parts, wherein a projection (76) is disposed on an inside of a U base (28) oriented toward the window (10), and wherein the U legs (30) encompass longitudinal sides of the coupling element (46).
