Wiper arm for a window cleaning system

摘要

The invention is wiper arm for a device for the cleaning of a windshield on a vehicle with a retaining element attached to a drive shaft to which a wiper arm part is articulated such that it can be tilted onto and away from the windshield and which is pressed down in the direction of the windshield with a force at least during the operation of the windshield washing device, and with the free end of which a wiper can be connected and with a separate trim that is attached to the wiper arm and extends in a longitudinal direction over the greater part of the length of the entire wiper arm part, and over all of the length of the wiper that is connected to the wiper arm. In order to guarantee a simple and problem-free handling for tilting the wiper arm part up away from the windshield or for exchanging wipers, the trim is connected to the wiper arm part in the area of an end that faces the retaining element such that the trim can be swiveled relative to the wiper arm part about an axis that runs perpendicular to the wiper arm.
