- Both the top 10 and the bottom 12 are bendable beams or may be configured as bendable beams, shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B each by way of example are formed in one piece. This allows a particularly stable construction. It is also possible to design only a part of the upper part 10 and / or the lower part 12 bendable.
- a material having a modulus of elasticity in a range between 0.005 kN / mm 2 and 0.5 kN is used for the upper part 10 and / or the lower part 12 / mm 2 , in particular 0.01 kN / mm 2 and 0.1 kN / mm 2 .
- This allows a suitable bending ability of the upper part 10 and the lower part 12. Together with a suitably designed cross-sectional area of the upper part 10 and the lower part 12, this results in an optimal flexural rigidity.
- the top 10 and the bottom 12 are arranged to face each other.
- the end of the upper part 10 is fixedly connected at the outer connecting position 34 with the end of the lower part 12.
- the upper part 10 and the lower part 12 are spaced apart from each other.
- the upper part 10 and the lower part 12 are interconnected by connecting elements 18.
- these run in FIG. 9A approximately transversely to the longitudinal extension 8 of the wiper blade 2.
- they can also run at an angle of greater than 90 ° or less than 90 °, in particular with different angles from each other.
- the connecting elements 18 are fastened to mutually facing inner longitudinal sides of the upper part 10 and of the lower part 12 by means of rotary joints 20.
- the hinges 20 are here hinges that can be made available by plugging or clipping. Alternatively, the hinges can also be formed by film hinges.
- the connecting elements 18 are spaced apart along the longitudinal extent of the wiper blade 2.
- the distances between each two adjacent connecting elements 18 are the same. But you can also be chosen differently.
- the distances are advantageously less than 50 mm, in particular less than 30 mm.
- a distance 22 is representative of the distances between each two connecting elements 18 shown.
- the connecting elements 18 are, in particular in the basic position of the wiper blade 2, attached to the lower part 12 such that their longitudinal axes extend at angles 26 to the lower part 12, which are between 45 ° and 135 °, in particular the angles between 65 ° and 15 ° , For example, these angles may be in subregions change along the longitudinal extent, ie increase or decrease from one connecting element to the next connecting element.
- the distances between the upper part 10 and the lower part 12 are determined mainly by the lengths of the connecting elements 18.
- the lengths of the connecting elements 18 increase, starting from the outer connecting position 34, to approximately those points at which the holder 6 attached to the upper part 10 begins.
- upper part 10 and lower part 12 form a wedge in side view of the wiper blade 2 according to FIG. 9A.
- the connecting elements can be made kink-resistant or elastic.
- FIG. 9B shows a schematic illustration of the wiper blade 2 according to FIG. 9A in a position applied to the pane 4. Since the disc 4 has a curvature, 4 contact pressure forces act on the lower part 12 when the wiper blade 2 is applied to the disc. Since the upper part 10 and the lower part 12 bendable beams and the connecting elements 12 are rotatably mounted on the upper part 10 and lower part 12, that is Upper part 10 and the lower part 12 against each other. As a result of the pressure forces acting from below on the lower part 12, the wiper blade 2 bends in the direction from which the compressive forces come, and applies itself precisely to the curvature of the disk 4.
- Such a windscreen wiper device for example a windscreen wiper arm or windscreen wiper arm with windscreen wiper blade, has the advantage of improved adaptation to a windshield of a motor vehicle.
- a conventional windshield wiper blade whose upper part is usually rigid, d. H. it is not bendable.
- a windscreen wiper device according to embodiments described herein utilizes the effect of tail fins of certain fish which do not dodge in the direction of compression at lateral pressure, but buckle in opposite directions, i. H. in the direction from which the pressure comes. This principle is also referred to as a fin jet principle or "fin ray" principle.
