Abstract: A pantograph-type windscreen wiper is disclosed, wherein the angular movement of the pantograph makes it possible to modify a wiper blade orientation on the plane of the pantograph rods and also to modify the blade attack angle, i.e. the angle between the blade and the normal to the windscreen surface. The wiper improves wiping performance, in particular on the lateral areas of a panoramic windscreen.
