Wiper blade latching device
First Claim
1. Wiper blade latching device, for coupling a wiper blade (10) to a wiper arm (12), the device having at least one wiper unit (14) which has latching means (16, 18), which can be deflected counter to a tensioning force, the latching means (16, 18) engaging and latching to a fastening means (36), and guide means (20, 22) guiding along the fastening means (36), the guide means and the latching means cooperating to define a recess (28) for receiving the fastening means (36), the recess (28) defined by opposite walls tapering from the guide means (20, 22) into and substantially aligned with respective, opposite walls tapering into the latching means (16, 18), characterized in that the latching means (16, 18) is at least partially decoupled from the guide means (20, 22) by a pair of slots extending from the recess (28) between respective opposite walls of the guide means (20, 22) and the latching means (16, 18).
