Furthermore, a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12) are provided, wherein the connecting elements (18) are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). The connecting elements (18) are designed to permit a movement of the upper part (10) and of the lower part (12) relative to one another with a movement component along a longitudinal extension (8) of the wiper blade (2). Furthermore, the wiper blade (2) comprises a wiper-blade-side fastening part (20). The wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) is configured in such a manner that, by means of a rotation of the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) relative to the mounting element (40), an engagement can be formed in order to connect the wiper-blade-side fastening part (20) to the mounting element (40).

A surface wiper device which includes a carrier which supports a blade. The carrier attaches to a wiper arm which urges the blade against and moves the blade across the surface of a windshield. The carrier further provides a plurality of outlets each of which communicate between a hollow passage inside the carrier and a location on the external surface of the carrier. A fluid can be delivered from a fluid source fluidicly coupled to the hollow passage of the carrier under sufficient pressure to be dispersed from the plurality of outlets onto the windshield during movement of the blade. A fluid heater can be thermally coupled with the fluid delivered from the fluid source to the plurality of outlets to increase the temperature of the fluid dispersed onto the windshield. The fluid can be sufficiently heated to generate a heated gas.

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device for a vehicle, for wiping a window (4), comprising a wiper blade (2) that has an elongate upper part (10) and an elongate lower part (12) which are at least partly flexible. Also provided is a plurality of connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), the connecting elements (18) being spaced apart along a longitudinal direction (8) of the wiper blade (2) and being attached to the upper part (10) and/or the lower part (12) by a rotary joint (20), and the connecting elements (18) being designed to allow a motion of the upper part (10) and the lower part relative to each other with a motion component along the longitudinal direction (8) of the wiper blade (2). Each connecting element (18) extends along a longitudinal axis (24) of the connecting element (18) and along a transverse axis (25) running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (24), which runs from the upper part (10) to the lower part (12). The transverse axes (25) of at least two connecting elements (18) adjoining each other along the longitudinal direction (8) define a demolding angle () of at least 0.5 relative to one another.

A wiper blade including multiple frame components hingedly connected to one another and at least two joint springs applying elastic force to respective frame components, the wiper blade accommodating a changing curvature of a surface of a windshield.
