  • Patent number: 9511746
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wiper blade (10) designed as a flat bar with a wiper strip (12) which is held by a spring-elastic strip support element (14) that is pre-curved in a concave manner with respect to a wiper lip (16) of the wiper strip (12). One or more spoiler parts (22, 23) are attached to the support element (14) face facing away from the wiper lip (16) by means of guiding profiles (30) which cover the support element (14) from the outer longitudinal faces and project to a certain extent with respect to the outflow side (26) of the spoiler part (22, 23) and which form a groove (31) with said outflow side. A connecting element (18, 64) is fixed in the central region of the wiper blade (10) for connecting a wiper arm in an articulated manner. According to the invention, the guiding profile (30) on the outflow side (26) has a guiding ridge (32, 34, 40) on the guiding profile longitudinal face pointing outwards.
