Abstract
A motor vehicle windscreen wiper of the type with a windscreen wiper brush which is articulated to a windscreen wiper arm. Moreover, the inventive wiper is of the type in which a connector is inserted longitudinally, from rear to front, inside the front end of the arm, said front end being bent back. Moreover, the connector, which is disposed between the arm and a brush component, has an elastically-deformable element that is used to block said connector in the inserted position. Furthermore, the wiper is of the type in which the connector includes two longitudinal edges which are received between two lateral flanges of the brush component. The invention is characterised in that it includes a safety clasp which is movably mounted between a closed position, in which said clasp extends opposite the blocking element in order to lock the connector in the inserted position, and an open position, which is used to release said connector.
