Abstract

A wiper blade for cleaning vehicle windows is disclosed. The wiper blade includes a wiper blade body extending in a wiper blade longitudinal axis, with a wiper rubber and a wiper blade adapter on the wiper blade body. The wiper blade adapter forms a mechanical connection, constructed as detent connection, of the wiper blade to a wiper arm adapter arranged on a wiper arm. The wiper blade adapter and the wiper arm adapter are connected to or released from one another at least substantially in a direction which extends perpendicularly to the wiper blade longitudinal axis. Spring are provided on the wiper blade adapter and/or on the wiper arm adapter, which provide an initial spring tension when the wiper blade is mounted on the wiper arm, and bring about a releasing force between the wiper arm adapter and the wiper blade adapter when the detent connection is released.
