| Summary: | The invention relates to a wiper blade for cleaning panes, especially for cleaning the panes of a motor vehicle. The inventive wiper blade (
10
) comprises an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (
14
) that is placed against the pane (
22
) and that is mounted on an elongated elastic support element (
12
) so that its longitudinal axis is parallel thereto, a device (
16
) for connecting the wiper blade to a driven wiper arm (
18
) being directly linked with said support element. The support element (
12
) comprises two strip-like spring bars (
28, 30
) that are disposed in a plane in front of the pane and substantially parallel thereto. The lower strip surfaces (
13
) of the spring bars face the pane, and the adjacent inner longitudinal edges (
48
) thereof, at a distance (
34
) to one another, dip into a longitudinal groove (
54, 56
or
106
) that is associated with every longitudinal edge and that is open towards the longitudinal face of the wiper strip (
14
). The lower strip surfaces are interlinked by at least two transverse connectors (
36, 38
) that are arranged in the longitudinal direction at a distance to each other. The wiper blade can be produced in a more economical way if every transverse connector (
36, 38
) has a center section (
42
) that extends at a distance (
44
) t o the upper strip surfaces (
11
) of the spring bars (
28, 30
), thereby forming bridging connectors, the distance (
34
) between the two longitudinal bars (
28, 30
) being smaller than the bridge width (
46
). |
