Abstract
A windshield wiper device (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, is proposed, with at least one wiper bearing (14), which includes a bearing housing (24), [and] a wiper shaft (22), which is positioned in the bearing housing (24) and bears a wiper arm (28) on a first end (26). An element (42), which axially fixes the wiper shaft (22), is radially attachable to the wiper shaft (22).

Windshield wiper device (10), with at least one wiper bearing (14), which includes a bearing housing (24), a wiper shaft (22), which is positioned in the bearing housing (24) and bears a wiper arm (28) on a first end (26), and an element (42), which axially fixes the wiper shaft (22), characterized in that the element (42) defines a radial opening such that the element (42) is radially attachable to the wiper shaft (22) or the bearing housing (24), and in that the element (42) is axially compressible with the effect of a force (F) in the axial direction on the first end (26) of the wiper shaft (22) thereby enabling axial movement of the shaft into the housing.
Windshield wiper device (10), with at least one wiper bearing (14), which includes a bearing housing (24), a wiper shaft (22), which is positioned in the bearing housing (24) and bears a wiper arm (28) on a first end (26), and an element (42), which axially fixes the wiper shaft (22), characterized in that the element (42) defines a radial opening such that the element (42) is radially attachable to one of the wiper shaft (22) and the bearing housing (24), the element (42) including, on at least one circumferential side of the radial opening, an axially-extending, circumferentially-facing end surface portion, the element (42) being deformable with the effect of a force (F) in the axial direction on the first end (26) of the wiper shaft (22) thereby enabling axial movement of the shaft into the housing, and characterized in that the bearing housing includes an axially-extending radial rib (45) circumferentially engageable with the end surface portion of the element (42) to inhibit movement of the element (42) about the wiper shaft (22) or the bearing housing (24).
