Abstract
A wiping device is proposed, which is used to clean windshields of motor vehicles. The wiping device has a driven wiper arm (12) to whose free end a wiper blade (14) is pivotably connected that is provided with an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (32) and that can be placed against the window (20); the extending at least approximately in the wiping direction (24) of the wiper blade, the wiper strip is held, parallel to the longitudinal axis, on a striplike, elongated, spring-elastic support element (26), on whose middle portion one half (28) of a connection device (16) for the wiper arm (12) provided with the other device half (30) is contained. A wiping device of particularly low height is obtained if the wiper blade (14) is disposed next to the wart (12), viewed vertically to the window (20), and is pivotably connected to the wiper arm via the connection device (16).
