Wiper blades having different sizes for automobile glass panels
First Claim
1. A wiper blade for windows of motor vehicles, comprising a band-like, elongated, spring-elastic support element curved over a longitudinal extension of the support element, wherein the support element is defined by two ends and has two band surfaces, wherein on one of the band surfaces, a wiper strip that can be placed on the windshield is arranged, whereby, a half of a connection device on a side of the wiper blade is disposed directly on the other band surface in a longitudinal midsection of the support element, and wherein ends of the support are covered with caps, wherein the support element has seat positions for the connection device and for the caps, wherein the connection device and the caps have a U-shaped cross section with U-legs in the region of the seat positions, and wherein with the U-legs, the seat positions fittingly overlaps, and wherein on free ends of the U-legs, opposed claws are formed, wherein said claws under-engage the support element, wherein the width of the seat position for the half of the connection device is constituted by a partial lateral widening of the support element.

Abstract
The invention relates to wiper blades of various dimensions for windows of motor vehicles, with band-like, elongated, spring-elastic support elements (14), each for a respective wiper strip (22), which is associated with each wiper blade (10), can be placed against the window (12), and is disposed on the lower band surface (21) oriented toward the window, where in a longitudinal midsection of each support element, the upper band surface (15) oriented away from the window supports a wiper blade half (16) of a connecting device (18). In order to supply wiper blades of different dimensions with a single type of such a connecting device half and to thereby reduce the costs for the wiper blades, the widths (36) of the support elements in this longitudinal midsection are the same size independent of the other dimensions of these support elements.
