Abstract

A windshield wiper, especially for motor vehicle, is described comprising a carrier yoke, a rubber element, and a resilient support for the rubber element on the carrier yoke. The resilient support of the rubber element includes a resilient strip with several resilient lugs pointing in a first direction and at least one resilient lug pointing in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Thus, the rubber element is guided and resiliently supported on the carrier yoke at both ends.
