Abstract
The invention is based on a wiper arm (10) that is comprised of a mounting part (12) and an articulating part (14), which is pivotably connected to a first region (16) of the mounting part (12) by means of a hinge joint (22) and has a wiper rod (24), to which a wiper blade is pivotably connected, wherein the mounting part (12) is securely affixed with a second region (18) to a drive shaft (20) and braced in relation to the articulating part (14) by means of a tension spring (28). The invention proposes that the mounting part (12) have a device (34, 36, 42), which permits the first region (16) of the mounting part (12) oriented toward the articulating part (14) to collapse toward a vehicle windshield in a defined manner.
