Abstract

In a windshield wiper arm with a first component arm (10), a second component arm (12) and a hinge which joins the first and the second component arm to one another with a folding capacity so that the two component arms can be swivelled relative to one another out of an initial position into a pivoted-up position, the pivoted-up position will be precisely defined. For this purpose it is provided that the first component arm is provided with at least one catch (18) and the second component arm is provided with at least one projection (20) which are arranged such that they can make contact with one another in order to prevent swivelling of the two component arms beyond the pivoted-up position.
