Wiper blade for cleaning glass surfaces on vehicles, especially motor vehicles
First Claim
1. A wiper blade for cleaning glass surfaces on vehicles, specifically motor vehicles, having an elongated wiper blade body which consists of a flexible rubber material and can be laid against the particular glass surface, furnished on both longitudinal sides with longitudinal grooves situated opposite each other, in which a preferably springy support spline extending in the longitudinal direction of the wiper blade body engages with part of its width, where each support spline protrudes beyond the longitudinal side in question with a further part of its width, characterized in that a profiled cover covering this support spline is mounted and attached to the protruding part of at least one of the support splines, wherein an upper side of the wiper blade body has at least one airfoil surface acting as an extension of at least one airfoil surface formed on an upper side of the profiled cover.

Abstract
In the case of a wiper blade for cleaning glass surfaces on vehicles, and having an elongated wiper blade body which consists of a flexible rubber material and can be placed against the glass and is furnished on both its longitudinal sides with longitudinal grooves situated opposite to each other, in which a support or spring spline extending in the longitudinal direction of the wiper strip engages with part of its width, a profiled cover is mounted on and attached to the part of at least one support spline projecting beyond the wiper blade body covering this support spline.

19. In a wiper blade for cleaning a glass surface on a motor vehicle having an elongated wiper blade body including a flexible rubber material to be laid against the glass surface, the flexible rubber material furnished on both longitudinal sides with longitudinal grooves situated opposite each other, a springy support spline extending in a longitudinal direction of the wiper blade body and engaging a portion of a width of the support spline with the flexible rubber material, where each support spline includes a protruding part extending beyond a corresponding longitudinal side of the flexible rubber material, the improvement comprising:
at least one profiled cover covering at least one of the support splines, the at least one profiled cover mounted and attached to the protruding part of the at least one support spline, wherein the at least one profiled cover fits closely against an adjacent longitudinal side of the wiper blade body, such that a combination of upper surfaces of the at least one profiled cover and the wiper blade body define at least one continuous airfoil surface contour. - View Dependent Claims (20)
