          ApplicationApplication 08/014,320                                                     


          conductive member and said second connector being in electrical             
          communication with said second conductive member, said connectors           
          projecting beyond an end of said blade.                                     


          37.  The wiper blade assembly of claim 36, which also includes              
          means for supplying electricity to said electric connectors at an           
          end of said blade.                                                          


          38.  The wiper blade assembly of claim 35, wherein the heating              
          element is flexible.                                                        


          39.  A heated wiper blade comprising:                                       
               an elongated blade of predetermined length having means for            
          retaining said blade in a desired position;                                 
               an elongated heating element contacting said blade along the           
          length of said blade, said heating element having (a) a pair of             
          spaced apart, elongated conductive members extending parallel to            
          and substantially the length of said blade and (b) a material               
          with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance between               
          and in electrical contact with said conductive members; and                 
               means for supplying electricity to said conductive members;            




                                         -3-
