Abstract
A windshield wiper assembly includes a wiper arm carrying a windshield wiper blade, an arm head, and a pivot attaching the wiper arm to the arm head. A spring retainer and coil spring extends between the arm head and the arm, thereby biasing the wiper blade against the windshield. When the wiper arm is lifted off the windshield to a hold off position, the spring retains the wiper blade in the hold off position. A finger extending from the spring retainer engages a shoulder on a drive drum which is received in a socket in the arm head. Accordingly, the wiper assembly is automatically released from the driving mechanism when the wiper assembly is moved to the inactive or hold off position. The wiper assembly can then be removed from the vehicle, which facilitates changing of the wiper blade.
