A lever is made of resin and constitutes a part of a wiper lever assembly that supports a blade rubber. The lever includes a coupling part having a coupling shaft to be coupled to a wiper arm. Further, the lever includes a pair of arm parts composed of a first arm part and a second arm part extending in mutually different directions from the coupling part. In addition, the lever includes a convex part protruding from the coupling part, formed at a center part between an end part of a first arm part opposite to the coupling part and an end part of a second arm part opposite to the coupling part.

A replaceable windscreen wiping insert forming part of a wiper which is provided with a row of brushes for cleaning a vehicle's windscreens and headlights. The wiping insert includes an elongated base member having a connecting element for attaching it to a wiper adapter; at least one wiping blade extending from the base member along the length thereof and being deflected relative thereto during use; and at least one row of brushes arranged along the length of the base member. The at least one row of brushes is integrated directly into the wiping blade such that the row of brushes is arranged projecting from a first longitudinal side of the wiping blade or from a second longitudinal side opposite thereto. The disclosure also relates to a windscreen wiper including the wiping insert and to a method for retrofitting available wiping inserts with a row of brushes.

The invention relates to a windscreen wiper blade for a motor vehicle. The wiper blade includes a fairing, with a central mounting, at least one end cap, and at least one adapter element attached to the central mounting. The adapter element includes a central core and two legs extending from opposite edges of the central core, one of the at least one end cap(s) being pivotally hinged to the adapter element. The adapter element having a narrowed portion in at least one of the two legs, located at the hinge between the end cap and the adapter element and extending from at least one hinge hole to the central core of the adapter element.

The invention relates to a novel form of wiper blade having increased dimensions, so that, for each linear millimeter of the wiper blade measured along the longitudinal elongation axis, a surface area of a pressing face via which the wiper blade presses against a glazed surface is greater than 0.25 mm.sup.2. In addition, the wiper blade includes a solid body configured to allow a hingeless connection to a wiper blade support element, and a pressing body in the form of a continuous or discontinuous structure. The pressing body thus includes macrostructures and microstructures that render the pressing face complex and discontinuous, and give it a surface area that is greater than those of the known wiper blades.
