Abstract: An articulated windshield wiper blade superstructure for distributing applied pressure proportionately along the length of a wiper blade which includes a central primary lever and a pair of secondary end levers arranged end to end. The end levers are pivotally connected to the central levers. A single flat spring extends from end to end through the central lever. At each end it engages a projection on the end levers which extends inwardly of the pivotal connection. The spring functions to distribute the arm pressure to the end levers and also functions as a latch to retain the blade on the arm.

Abstract: A superstructure for a windshield wiper blade assembly includes a pair of primary levers connected together by a spring hinge which urges the outer ends of the levers toward the superstructure. A third lever is pivoted at the transverse hinged axis. The primary levers are tubular in cross section for substantially their entire length and have integrally formed wiping element receiving claws at their outboard ends. The inboard ends are formed with an integral web and depending apertured ears, the web and ears forming a spring retainer, the ears being interfittable and having their apertures aligned to receive a transverse hinge pin.
