1. A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type, particularly for automobiles, comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal groove, in which groove at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for an oscillating arm, wherein said oscillating arm can be pivotally connected to said connecting device about a pivot axis near one end thereof, wherein said connecting device is connected to said wiper blade at at least two locations spaced-apart in longitudinal direction of said wiper blade in order to evenly distribute a force exerted by the oscillating arm onto the wiper blade;
wherein said locations are located near opposite ends of said connecting device; wherein at each of said two locations said connecting device comprises a claw for gripping said wiper blade laterally from the outside; wherein said claws each have a substantially U-shaped cross-section; wherein free ends of legs of said U-shaped cross-section extend inwardly so as to form grooves for receiving longitudinal sides of said wiper blade; and wherein said free ends of said legs of said U-shaped cross-section are provided with holes for receiving pins of a first type and of a second type.
