Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of bristle goods, in which individual or grouped bristles are fastened to a carrier in a predetermined arrangement to form the desired bristle trimmings, at least some of the bristles of the bristle trimmings being structured on their jacket by machining ,
- the invention relates to a method for the production of bristle goods, in which individual or grouped bristles are attached to a carrier in a specific arrangement to form the desired bristle stock, the free ends of at least some of the bristles being shortened by machining.
- Bristle goods usually consist of a more or less regular bristle stock, in which they form the bristles have a smooth surface on their jacket, while the free bristle ends lie in a flat or in a continuously or discontinuously curved envelope surface.
- the bristle ends primarily fulfill the task of producing a cleaning, grinding or polishing effect by mechanical attack on the surface, while the sheath of the bristles primarily fulfills a wiping effect.
- the need to provide a large number of bristles within a bristle stock essentially results from the requirement for effective and, above all, flat cleaning.
- the sheath of the bristles is essentially only effective as intended during the brushing process, as it concerns the bristles lying on the outside in the bristle stock, while the inside bristles essentially only provide a supporting effect for the bristles with one another and fulfill the additional task of application media or media that are important for the brushing effect in the narrow capillaries between the bristles.
- the monofilaments are then gathered into strands.
- the bristles are cut to length from the strand as desired. Since the monofilaments move axially to one another when they are brought together to form the strand, no locally defined structure can be produced on the bristles assembled to form bristles.
- the bristles which are somewhat rough due to their structure, are difficult to handle in the usual division into groups, for example bundles. As a result, the number of bristles in a bundle fluctuates greatly. With this method, it is also not possible to arrange the structured bristles only in the outer region of a bristle stock, where they have the greatest effect. In contrast, the internal bristles with their structure are less effective or even ineffective. In this respect, unnecessarily much material is structured and possibly also weakened in monofilament treatment. In addition, the production process in the manufacture of monofilaments is slowed down by laser processing.
- the invention is based on the object of proposing a method for producing bristle products with the aid of which the sheath of the bristles can be structured in any, but reproducible, manner before or after they are attached to the bristle carrier. Furthermore, it should be possible to shorten the bristle ends to form any, but reproducible, envelope surfaces of the bristle ends.
- the first part of the object of the invention is achieved in that at least some of the bristles are structured in a contactless manner by means of laser beams on the predetermined arrangement or on the attached bristle stock.
- Today's laser technology enables the effects of the laser beam to be localized very precisely and the effect on the smallest areas down to individual points or Focus lines. Furthermore, it gives the possibility of an adaptation to the material to be treated and allows an exact adjustment of the depth effect depending on the material.
- the use of laser energy according to the invention consequently enables defined and regular structures, preferably in a geometric arrangement, to be produced on the sheath of the bristles of a bristle set.
- the mechanical effect of the structures can also be influenced by precise control of the depth effect of the laser beams. Since the process works without contact, reproducible structures can be created regardless of the flexibility of the bristles. This applies in particular to bristles made of plastic, even if the invention is not limited to this material.
- Laser technology also gives the possibility of structuring the type and
- the structures also improve the absorption capacity for cleaning or application media, which are emitted perfectly due to the smooth surface of the structures and can also be washed out without any problems.
- the structures also increase the effect of massage on toothbrushes and body brushes and on technical brushes with abrasive substances in the bristles the abrasive effect on the structure edges.
- the method according to the invention can also be used for the formation of "topographies" of the bristle stock in that the bristles are shortened at their free ends by means of laser beams without contact.
- the finest structures for example punctiform or linear depressions
- the envelope surface Has steps of any kind that have an additional scraping or scratching effect when brushing.
- the laser source is controlled in such a way that the bristles are rounded at their free ends during the laser treatment by thermal stress. While the structuring takes place essentially by evaporation or gasification of the plastic by means of the laser energy introduced, it has surprisingly been found that when the bristles are shortened from the free bristle end, the bristle end is - as always desired - rounded like a dome. The reason for this is that the molecules in the bristle, which are linearly oriented due to the monofilament production, are thermally stressed at the point exposed to laser beams and the molecules reorient themselves into their rearranged shape.
- the laser source is also designed depending on the respective material, preferably a plastic, in such a way that the bristles on their jacket are profiled by material removal due to thermal decomposition of the plastic.
- a plastic preferably a plastic
- This has the advantage over all mechanical processing methods that no frayed structures that lead to material tears when using the bristle goods, which in turn can lead to incompatibilities with hygienic brushes, especially toothbrushes, with foreign brush inclusions and irregularities in the application layer.
- machining always removed material residues remain on the bristles, which require a subsequent cleaning and cleaning process without is there ⁇ guaranteed by a one hundred percent success.
- Such a cleaning can also be omitted in the method according to the invention.
- the bristles are structured on their jacket by foaming the plastic. Practical tests have shown that the laser treatment in the plastic leads to the formation of bubbles, which shows up as bumps on the surface of the mantle of the bristle. This foaming can be controlled by fillers, laser guidance, etc.
- Two- or multi-component bristles consist of a core and a shell. They are used in particular to display consumption, in that the core and shell are of different colors and the initially single-colored bristles reveal a different color effect with increasing wear at the bristle end, which is representative of the degree of wear.
- the shell is structured by the laser beams. The shell can be structured down to the core by locally removing the shell material.
- the invention provides that the bristles are structured on their jacket only to a depth of up to 10% of the bristle cross section.
- the depth and the local arrangement of the structures within the bristle stock can be selected so that the static properties of the individual bristle and of the entire bristle stock are retained to the extent required in each case.
- the free ends of the bristles can be in a substantially linear shape Patterns are cut.
- This linear pattern can be adapted to the usual directions of movement for the respective bristle product in order to bring the "topography” to optimum effect.
- the method according to the invention can be carried out on the prepared bristle arrangement or on the attached bristle stock. Only external bristles can be structured on their jacket.
- bristles lying further inside by dividing and laterally deflecting bristles (DE 198 32 436, EP 0 736 270) and to structure these on their jacket.
- bristles Even if the majority of the plastics suitable for bristles can be structured to a greater or lesser extent by laser radiation, it may be advisable to use bristles with fillers which absorb laser beams, as a result of which the structuring can be controlled more easily and in a more targeted manner.
- the fillers can also be provided only in certain cross-sectional areas of the bristles, for example close to the jacket, or in the case of bristles with a profiled cross-section in the outer profile areas. This results in particular with polygonal cross cut shapes in connection with the structuring according to the invention in the area of the polygon edges particularly intensive mechanical effects when brushing.
- the structuring generated during the laser treatment can be carried out simultaneously. discoloration of the plastic, the structure can be visualized. Instead or in addition, the structure generated during laser treatment can be visualized by fillers in the plastic of the bristles that react to laser beams with a color change.
