Abstract

A backing member of a wiperblade of a windshield wiper and comprising two elongated body elements extending parallel at a spaced apart relationship and extending substantially along the entire length of a blade rubber to which the backing member is mounted, a plurality of bridge portions being spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the backing member and connecting the body elements, the space between the body elements being adapted to receive a neck portion of the blade rubber, the bridge portions extending in the sidewise direction and above the body elements so as to define a space above the body elements for receiving a head portion of the blade rubber, and two longitudinally spaced apart pivot connections for connecting with a yoke member of the wiper. At least one of the pivot connections is adapted to permit relative longitudinal displacement of corresponding pivot connection of the yoke member. The curvature and the rigidity of the backing member are changed in the longitudinal direction.
