Abstract:
1. A windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, the wiper blade comprising a wiping element which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes a central longitudinal groove, in which groove a longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating arm, wherein the wiping element is movable relative to said longitudinal strip of said carrier element in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a windscreen to be wiped, dependent on the pressure exerted by the longitudinal strip on the wiper blade, and wherein said groove extends in a downward direction beneath the longitudinal strip to form a longitudinal hollow channel defined by said longitudinal strip and a bottom of said groove, wherein said bottom is flexible, and wherein said wiping element is allowed to move relative to said longitudinal strip of said carrier element in a direction perpendicular to a windscreen to be wiped, dependent on the pressure exerted by the longitudinal strip on the wiper blade due to the resiliency of said bottom.
