Abstract
A support for mounting a windscreen wiper blade includes at least two opposing lower lateral claws arranged transversally on either side of the support, each of the claws being able to collaborate with an associated part of a backbone of the blade for attaching the support on the blade, and an upper part on which a connector can be jointedly mounted about a transversal joint axis. The upper part includes at least one elastically deformable portion which is able to deform when the support is mounted and attached to the blade in order to allow a globally transverse movement of the lateral claws, one relative to the other between at least a parted position in which there is no collaboration with the associated part of the backbone, and a close up position in which there is a collaboration with the associated part of the backbone.
