Abstract

A wiper blade for cleaning vehicle windows including a wiper blade body extending in a wiper blade longitudinal axis is disclosed. A wiper blade adapter allows for a mechanical detent connection, of the wiper blade with a wiper arm adapter arranged on a wiper arm. The wiper blade adapter has an elastically arranged detent tongue, which cooperates in a form-fitting manner with the wiper arm adapter to form the detent connection. The wiper arm is U-shaped in cross section and has legs on opposing sides of a base section, which embrace the wiper blade adapter laterally. The connecting or releasing between the wiper blade adapter and the wiper arm adapter takes place at least substantially in a direction perpendicular to the wiper blade longitudinal axis. The detent tongue has a mounting region, which embraces the holding section of the wiper arm adapter.
