Claim:
A wiper blade ( 10 ) with a wiper strip ( 12 ), into lateral longitudinal grooves ( 20 ) of which two spring rails ( 24 ) are inserted as a resiliently elastic supporting element, wherein ends of the spring rails ( 24 ) are connected to each other by a bridge ( 32 , 54 , 62 , 76 ) by side parts ( 36 , 66 , 80 ) of the bridge ( 32 , 54 , 62 , 76 ) being supported on upper sides of the spring rails ( 24 ) and engaging in cutouts in the spring rails ( 24 ) while a central part ( 34 , 64 , 78 ) of the bridge ( 32 , 54 , 62 , 76 ) spans a back strip ( 22 ) of the wiper strip ( 12 ), the back strip upwardly bounding the longitudinal grooves ( 20 ), characterized in that the cutouts of the spring rails ( 24 ) include short slots ( 28 ) which run in a longitudinal direction of the spring rails ( 24 ) and extend from free ends thereof into which l-shaped angle pieces ( 38 , 56 ) of the bridge ( 32 , 54 ) engage, while lower limbs ( 40 , 58 ) of the angle pieces ( 38 , 56 ) are directed toward a center of the spring rails ( 24 ) and grip the spring rails from below, and characterized in that an end cap ( 50 ) is inserted onto the spring rails ( 24 ) and the bridge ( 32 , 54 , 62 , 76 ) and is coupled to at least one of the spring rails ( 24 ) and the bridge ( 32 , 54 , 62 , 76 ).
