Patent ID: 8397340

Claim:
A wiper blade ( 10 ) to clean windshields ( 20 ), provided with an elongated belt-shaped, flexible spring support element ( 12 ) having top and bottom belt surfaces, with a separate first component designed as an elastic rubber wiper strip ( 14 ) that can be pressed against the windshield ( 20 ) located at the bottom belt surface ( 13 ) of the support element and with a separate second component located at the top belt surface ( 11 ) of the support element ( 12 ) that is designed as a wind deflection strip ( 24 ) that extends at least along a longitudinal section of the wiper blade ( 10 ), characterized in that the two components ( 14 , 24 ) are connected together at their sides facing one another, and characterized in that the wind deflection strip ( 24 ) has two diverging, elastically deflectable sides ( 81 , 83 ) as seen in cross section that are connected together at a common base ( 79 ), the free ends of which that face the support element being supported off of the support element ( 12 ), and that supplemental positive profile shapes are located at the two elastically deflectable sides ( 81 , 83 ) with which negative profile shapes ( 84 ) of the wiper strip ( 14 ) cooperate, wherein the wind deflection strip extends along a substantial portion of a length of the wiper blade.
