Device for the articulated connection of a wiper blade of flat bar construction to a wiper arm according to the side lock principle

The invention is based on a device for the articulated connection of a wiper blade (10) of flat bar construction to a wiper arm (30) according to the side lock principle, wherein a bearing pin (38) which protrudes laterally on the wiper arm (30) and runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction is mounted pivotably in a connecting element (16) which is fastened to the wiper blade (10) and, on the side facing the wiper arm (30), has a retaining finger (24) which, offset towards the drive-side end of the wiper blade (10), is connected to the connecting element (16) at a lateral distance therefrom via a web (28) and, from the side facing a wiper strip (12), engages in the wiper arm (30). It is proposed that the retaining finger (24) has a lug (26) which protrudes in relation to the end side thereof which faces the bearing pin (38) and has a stop surface (56) which points towards the wiper strip (12) and interacts with a further stop surface (54) which lies in the pivoting range relative to the wip
