Patent ID: 8205291

Claim:
A wiper system for front windshields of motor vehicles, comprising at least one wiper blade which can be guided over the front windshield ( 4 ) on a pivotable wiper arm ( 11 ), at least one bearing part ( 1 ) which can be pivoted about an axis ( 5 ), at least one fastening part ( 10 ) which can be connected to said bearing part ( 1 ) in a manner secure against rotation, and at least one single-axis articulation part which connects the wiper arm ( 11 ) to the fastening part ( 10 ) for permitting articulation about an axis of articulation ( 14 ), wherein a position of the connection of bearing part ( 1 ) and fastening part ( 10 ) is located next to the axis ( 5 ) about which the bearing part ( 1 ) is pivoted, characterized in that the bearing part ( 1 ) comprises a bearing bushing ( 2 ) which is placed pivotably onto a positionally fixed bearing shaft ( 3 ), with a lever ( 8 ) and a support structure ( 6 ) extending perpendicularly to the pivot axis ( 5 ) with the support structure extension defining a main axis, said support structure being connected to the bearing bushing ( 2 ) and being connected outside the pivot axis ( 5 ) to a fastening means ( 7 ) to which the fastening part ( 10 ) of the wiper arrangement can be fastened, wherein said lever ( 8 ) on which a wiper linkage acts is connected to the bearing bushing ( 2 ), wherein the supporting structure ( 6 ) and the lever ( 8 ) are adjusted essentially into the same direction, wherein the axis of articulation ( 14 ) of the articulation part deviates from a perpendicular to a main axis ( 15 ) of the wiper arm ( 11 ) in a plane in which the fastening part ( 10 ) is pivoted, wherein the axis of articulation ( 14 ) of the articulation part is substantially perpendicular to the main axis of the support structure ( 6 ).
