Wiper blade for automobile glass panels
First Claim
1. A wiper blade (10) for windows of motor vehicles, having an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (14) which can be pressed against the window (26) to be wiped and which is retained, substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis, on a support element (30) that has an elongated spring-elastic retaining rail (12) forming a band with a band face and a connection device (16) disposed on the retaining rail, in which the connection device (16) is disposed on the band face, remote from the window (26), on the middle portion of the retaining rail (12) and serves to connect the wiper blade (10) to a driven wiper arm (18) that can be stressed toward the window, characterized in that the connection device (16) is distinct from said wiper strip and formed directly onto the retaining rail (12) by means of a heated, and thereby flowable, plastic, and wherein, upon cooling and contraction of said plastic, said connection device is immovably seated onto said retaining rail (12).

Abstract
A wiper blade is proposed that is used to clean windows of motor vehicles. The wiper blade (10) has an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (14), which is retained, substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, on a support element (30) that has a spring-elastic retaining rail (12) elongated in bandlike fashion and a connection device (16) disposed on the retaining rail, in which the connection device (16) is disposed on the band face (32), remote from the window, on the middle portion of the retaining rail (12) and serves to connect the wiper blade (10) to a driven wiper arm that can be stressed toward the window. Advantages in terms of both production and use are obtained if the connection device (16), made from a plastic, is formed directly and immovably onto the retaining rail.
