Patent ID: 6944905

Claim:
A wiper blade for cleaning windows, comprising: a band-like, elongated, spring-elastic support element ( 12 ), wherein a lower band surface ( 13 ) of the support element oriented toward the window ( 22 ) has an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip ( 14 ), disposed on it so that the longitudinal axes of these two parts are parallel, wherein the wiper strip can be placed against a window, and wherein an upper band surface ( 11 ) of the support element ( 12 ; 30 , 30 ) has a wind deflection strip ( 42 ) disposed on it, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the support element ( 12 ), is provided with an attack surface ( 54 ) oriented toward the main flow of the relative wind, and is made of an elastic material, wherein the wind deflection strip ( 42 , 142 , 242 ) has two diverging legs ( 44 , 46 ), viewed in transverse cross section, wherein the two diverging legs are connected to each other at a common base ( 48 ) and wherein free ends of the two diverging legs oriented toward the window ( 22 ) are supported on the support element of the wiper blade ( 10 ), and the attack surface ( 54 ) is embodied on the outside of the one leg ( 44 ) above the support element, and the legs ( 44 , 46 ) form therebetween an angular hollow space that expands from an upper narrowest point of the base downwardly to the upper band surface of the support element ( 12 ; 30 , 30 ) and are in contact with the upper band surface ( 11 ) of the support element said legs contacting the upper band surface at a location laterally spaced from said rubber-elastic wiper strip.
