  • Patent number: 9499130
    Abstract: The invention relates to a windshield wiper blade for a vehicle, particularly an automobile, comprising a scraper blade (1), a body (2) to which said scraper blade (1) is attached, and a spoiler (3) extending from said body and having an aerodynamic profile between a leading edge and a trailing edge, the boundary of the wiper blade between the body (2) and the spoiler (3) being defined by a horizontal surface extending through the leading edge of said profile, characterized in that said spoiler extends horizontally in the downstream direction beyond an optionally abstract portion defined so as to constitute the mirror image, relative to a vertical plane extending through a lower end of the scraper blade (1), of the portion of the body that is located upstream of said same vertical plane.
