Abstract

A wiping arrangement for a vehicle window has a wiping blade element, a support element, an axle insertable into the elements so as to pivotally connect them with one another, and a substantially V-shaped spring member having a central portion surrounding the axle and two diverging legs located at opposite sides of the latter. The legs of the spring member extends through holes of one of the elements and outwardly beyond the latter, and are biased to the element so as to be retained under the spring action of the spring member. The spring member is movable between one position in which it engages the axle and retains the same in a position in which the axle is inserted into the elements, and another position in which the spring member is disengaged from the axle so that the latter can be withdrawn from the elements to thereby disconnect the latter from one another.
