Abstract
A windscreen wiping device which includes a wiper arm which can be activated and a wiper blade which includes a wiper rubber having a carrier element receiver and a carrier element. A wiper lip is arranged on the wiper rubber and lies against the window to be wiped. Load alleviation elements which alleviate the wiper lip when the windscreen wiping device is in the parking position lift the wiper lip off the window to be wiped. The load alleviation elements include at least two interspaced pins arranged on the carrier element and ramps which co-operate with the pins and which are provided on the window or in the region around the window. In the parking position, the pins drive against the ramps in order to alleviate the wiper lip.
