Abstract

A wiping arrangement for wiping a vehicle window has a wiper arm having a hook-shaped end part which bounds a gap, a wiping blade, and a connecting element for connecting the wiping blade with the wiper arm in response to sliding entry of the connecting element into the gap. The connecting element has two projecting portions which are biased apart from one another and toward sections of the wiper arm. One of the projecting portions of the connecting element has an engaging formation which engages with an engaging formation arranged in one of the arm sections of the wiper arm so as to provide the above-mentioned connection. The one projecting portion of the connecting element is provided with means for urging this portion apart from the other projecting portion so that the engaging formations become disengaged from one another and thereby the wiping blade can be removed from the wiper arm. The urging means extends outwardly beyond a face of the wiper arm which faces away from the vehicle window.
