Abstract
A wiper blade is proposed, which is used to clean windows of motor vehicles. The wiper blade has load bearing frame for a wiper strip placed against the window and displaceable over the window crosswise to the longitudinal extent thereof, and a wind deflector strip disposed on the load bearing frame and extending approximately parallel to the wiper strip, which wind deflector strip has a wind baffle facing into the relative wind, one longitudinal edge of which is located nearer the window than its other longitudinal edge located behind the first longitudinal edge in terms of the approach direction of the relative wind. Universal use of the wiper blade is obtained if the wind deflector strip can be mounted suspended from the load bearing frame or standing upright on the load bearing frame, and in each of the two mounting positions has a wind baffle oriented toward the relative wind.
