Abstract
The invention relates to a windscreen wiper arm (10) comprising a wiper bar (40), to which a wiper blade (6) can be attached with or without a spoiler. Said bar is composed of a freely projecting, first arc-shaped wiper bar section (1) with a first curvature variation, to which the wiper blade (6) is attached and of at least one second arc-shaped wiper bar section (2) with a second arc-shaped curvature variation, which adjoins the first wiper bar section (1), to form a snap-off point (12).
Claims20
Windshield wiper arm (10) having a wiper arm for attaching a wiper blade (6) with or without a spoiler, characterized in that, the wiper rod (41) is comprised of a freely projecting, first arc-shaped wiper rod section (1) with a first curvature progression, to which the wiper blade (6) is attachable, and of at least one second arc-shaped wiper rod section (2) curved along its length with a second arc-shaped curvature progression, which directly adjoins the first wiper rod section (1) to form a first flexion point (12), characterized in that, the second arc-shaped wiper rod section (2) is bent back on one side into a bent back arc-shaped wiper rod section (3) as a two-spoke dual spring system, in which, in an applied state of the wiper arm, the bent-back wiper rod section (3) is curved along its length and runs in a layer plane above or below a positional plane of the second arc-shaped wiper rod section (2) essentially congruent to the second arc-shaped wiper rod section (2) as well as with approximately the same curvature progression as said second wiper rod section along a presentable longitudinal section, a tangential extension of the first arc-shaped wiper rod section (1) and a tangential extension of the second arc-shaped wiper rod section (2) enclose an angle (11) of between 90° and 180°, in area of the flexion point (12) as viewed from a side opposite from a wiping edge of the wiper blade (6).
