Claim:
A wiper blade for windows, in particular of motor vehicles, comprising: a long, rubber-elastic wiper strip ( 14 ) that can be placed against the window ( 22 ), wherein said wiper strip is situated parallel to a longitudinal axis on a long, spring-elastic carrier element ( 12 ) to which a component ( 16 ) belonging to a device for attaching the wiper blade ( 10 ) to a driven wiper arm ( 18 ) is directly connected, wherein the carrier element ( 12 ) has springs ( 28 , 30 ) designed in the shape of a strap having top and bottom surfaces and lying in front of the window ( 22 ) in a plane that is substantially parallel to the window, wherein the bottom surfaces of the straps ( 13 ) of which face the window, wherein inner, adjacent longitudinal edges ( 32 ) of the springs situated at a distance from each other plunge individually into longitudinal grooves ( 54 , 56 ) assigned to each longitudinal edge and open toward the longitudinal side of the wiper strip, and are connected to each other by way of a least two transverse ribs ( 37 ) situated in the longitudinal direction with distance between them, wherein at least one transverse rib ( 36 ) has a center section ( 42 ) that extends at a distance from the top strap surfaces ( 11 ) of the springs ( 28 , 30 ) so that at least one bridge-like transverse rib results, whereby the distance ( 34 ) between the two springs in particular is less then a bridge width ( 46 ), wherein means of attachment ( 74 , 76 , 78 and 174 , 175 , 176 , 177 , 178 ) for securing the wiper strip to the carrier element in the longitudinal direction are disposed as one-piece on one of the transverse ribs, wherein the means of attaching are situated on a transverse rib ( 36 ) located in the region of one end section of the two springs ( 28 , 30 ), and wherein the means of attachment comprise an extension ( 74 and 174 ) designed in the shape of a tongue that extends from the center section ( 42 ) of one transverse rib ( 36 ) toward the other end section of the two springs.
