Abstract

A windshield wiping device for swivelling windshields of motor vehicles. The device includes a wiper shaft, which is supported on the assembly adjacent to the swivel axis of the windshield, and a wiper arm projecting over the windshield. The arm includes an attachment part, by means of which it is attached to the wiper shaft, and a pivoting part which can be swivelled relative to the attachment part around a swivelling axis, and which, by means of an electrical motor is brought into a stopping position on the windshield, in which the electrical motor is independently switched off by means of a stopping position switch. In order to open the windshield without damage, in the stopping position, the swivelling axis, between the attachment part and the pivoting part of the wiper arm, is directed at least approximately in parallel to the swivelling axis of the windshield.
