Abstract
A device is proposed which is used to wipe windows of motor vehicles. The wiping device has an oscillatingly driven wiper arm (12), guided on the motor vehicle, on whose free end, remote from the oscillation axis (16), a wiper blade (22) which is elongated transversely to the oscillation direction, that can be placed against the window (24) is releasably hinged via a connection device (26) that has coupling parts of the wiper arm and of the wiper blade, and the hinge axis (32) extends substantially in the oscillation direction (double arrow 18). In such a wiping device, an especially low-wear hinge is obtained if the wiping device has at least one support shoulder (72 and 96), fixed to the wiper arm and pointing toward the oscillation axis (16), with which a check shoulder (74 and 102) fixed to the wiper blade and pointing away from the oscillation axis (16) is associated.
