Abstract:
1. A wiper blade ( 16 ) for cleaning windows of motor vehicles, the wiper blade being provided with an elastic supporting element ( 30 ) which is constructed as an elongated band and, on a lower band surface ( 31 ) facing a window ( 28 ), has an elongated, rubber elastic wiper strip ( 24 ) which can be placed against the window, and, on an upper band surface ( 29 ), proximate a longitudinal middle area of the supporting element, there is a coupling part ( 32 ) for connecting the wiper blade ( 16 ) to a wiper arm ( 12 ), and the wiper blade ( 16 ) is provided with a cap ( 60 , 160 ) to cover the connection area between the wiper blade ( 16 ) and the wiper arm ( 12 ), wherein the covering cap ( 60 ), which is approximately U-shaped in cross-section, is fabricated of an elastic plastic and is provided with elastically deflectable locking means ( 74 ), which are assigned to counter-locking means ( 40 ) of the wiper blade, characterized in that the covering cap ( 60 ) has a trough-shaped central section ( 62 ) with a largely removed trough bottom, resulting in a U-shaped passage opening ( 64 ) for passage of a free end ( 14 ) of the wiper arm ( 12 ), and the locking means ( 74 ) are integrally formed on longitudinal walls ( 72 ) of the covering cap ( 60 , 160 ) and the longitudinal walls ( 72 ) deflect elastically during locking.
