Abstract

A windshield wiper assembly includes a helical compression spring arranged laterally staggered relative to the wiper shaft in such a way that the center line of the helical compression spring runs alongside the wiper shaft. This permits the wiper arm to be made very compact and low, so that it can be used in motor vehicle windshield wiper installations having a concealed parking position.
