Abstract

In a windshield wiper device each wiper blade has a wiper element with a lip applied to a windshield to be wiped and a back portion held in an elastic rail made from elastic plastics. The wiper element is secured on the elastic rail against mutual displacement in the direction of elongation of the rail. A two-part yoke system which engages the elastic rail provides for a uniform distribution of contact pressures exerted on the wiper elements.
