Method for production of a windscreen wiper arm with a U-profile cross-section and the corresponding device

The invention relates to a method for producing a windshield wiper bracket of U-shaped cross section, with two through holes disposed in the legs of the bracket, through which a rivet extends. A method for producing a windshield wiper bracket () with a U-shaped cross section, with two through holes () disposed in the legs () of the bracket (), through which a rivet () extends, wherein the method includes the following steps:production of through holes () in a flat bracket blank ();insertion of a rivet slug () into one of the through holes ();folding of the legs () to produce the U-shaped profile and to thereby position the rivet slug () in a position aligned with the other through hole ();sliding of the rivet slug () into the position extending through both of the through holes (), andriveting of the rivet slug ().
