  • the bearing surface 22 is accordingly adapted to the surface shape of the wiper plate 4 or the wiping textile 5, and therefore also has an at least substantially rectangular shape.
  • the bearing surface 22 accordingly has a longitudinal axis, not shown in the figures, which, when the wiper plate 4 is attached, runs at least substantially parallel and adjacent to the longitudinal axis 9 of the wiper plate 4.
