Abstract
A wiper blade (10) is proposed, which is used for cleaning windows (20) of motor vehicles. The wiper blade can be connected by coupling means to counter-coupling means on the wiper arm side of a driven wiper arm (18) provided on the motor vehicle. Its coupling means are placed in the center section of a strip-like, elongated, spring-elastic support element (12) of the wiper blade, on the side of which facing the window to be wiped an elongated, rubber-elastic wiping strip (14), which can be placed against the window, is arranged essentially parallel with the longitudinal axis, and the wiper blade, which can be displaced transversely in respect to its longitudinal direction on the window, is pivotable in respect to the wiper arm around an axis (40) extending in the displacement direction. A particularly low structural height of the wiper blade is achieved if the support element (12) is made of a metal, if moreover the distance of the plane of displacement of the pivot axis (40) from the surface (22) of the window (20) to be wiped is at most as great as the distance (44) between this surface (22) and the strip surface (11) of the support element (12) facing away from the window.
