Abstract
A connection device is proposed, which serves the purpose of pivotably connecting a wiper blade, for windows of motor vehicles, to a wiper arm. The connection device has a coupling element on the wiper blade which is pivotably connectable to a coupling part on the wiper arm. The coupling element is disposed on an upper band face, in a center portion, of a band-shaped, elongated spring-elastic support element of the wiper blade. The wiper blade is provided with a spoiler, on the side of the upper band face, extending on both sides of the coupling element and defining a leading-edge face. Additionally, the coupling part is also provided with a leading-edge face extending longitudinally with the spoiler thereon to improve wiper blade function.
