Abstract:
1. A windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes opposing longitudinal grooves on its longitudinal sides, in which grooves spaced-apart longitudinal strips of the carrier element are disposed, wherein neighbouring ends of said longitudinal strips are interconnected by a respective connecting piece, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for a oscillating arm comprising two longitudinal arm sections connected to each other by a curved intermediate section, said oscillating arm being pivotally connected to said connecting device about a pivot axis, with the interposition of a joint part, wherein said joint part includes a resilient tongue engaging in a correspondingly shaped hole provided in said oscillating arm, and wherein said joint part and said connecting device are pivotally connected to each other by mutually cooperating protrusion and hole structure located below a longitudinal center plane between said two longitudinal arm sections, and wherein said joint part is detachably connected to said connecting device through a snapping or clipping operation wherein said resilient tongue includes at least one upwardly extending protrusion and at least one downwardly extending protrusion, said upwardly extending protrusion adapted to engage in a correspondingly shaped hole provided in an oscillating arm of a first type, and wherein said downwardly extending protrusion is adapted to engage in a correspondingly shaped hole provided in an oscillating arm of a second type, said oscillating arms of said first and said second types mutually differing in the distance between their respective longitudinal arm sections.
