Abstract
The invention concerns a windscreen wiper blade assembly, with a wiper blade on which a connecting flange is connected to a component of a support structure for the wiper blade, which includes an open connecting ring substantially in the form of an inverted U which straddles the flange, and of the type in which the flange has at least one longitudinal groove which receives a reinforcing rib produced in the form of a horizontal reinforcing plate, one outer lateral edge of which has a locking notch designed to receive a locking member, characterised in that the vertical leg of the connecting ring includes a housing which is open in the direction of the outer lateral edge of the rib and which receives a vertical locking finger which partially projects transversely into the opening in the housing in order to be received in the locking notch of the rib.
