Abstract: The invention is based on a wiper blade unit, in particular for a joint-free wiper blade (10a; 10b), having a liquid guiding body (12a; 12b) which has at least one liquid guiding bridge (14a; 14b) which, when in an operating state, is arranged on a side (18a; 18b) facing away from a wiper blade main flow side (16a; 16b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting device (10) for a wiper arm (14) and a wiper blade (12). Said wiper blade comprises a first connecting part (16) on the wiper blade end and a second connecting part (18) on the wiper arm end, both parts being juxtaposed in the operational position and being connected to each other via a hinge element (44) so that they can be swiveled about a hinge axis. Securing means (32) are provided so that the first and second connecting part (16, 18) engage with each other. The invention is characterized in that the first connecting part (16) has a recess (38) for accommodating the securing means (32) in which a longitudinal, shaped portion (66) is provided which is parallel to the hinge axis. The invention also relates to a flat bar wiper blade (12) which comprises a first connecting part (16) for fastening the flat bar wiper blade (12) to a wiper arm (14).
