Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein mindestens zwei Bürstenelemente umfassendes Bürstensystem zu schaffen, dessen Bürstenelemente sicher, einfach, schnell und kostengünstig austauschbar sind, wobei das Bürstensystem hinsichtlich seiner Form, Größe und Art mit einer Mindestzahl von unterschiedlichen Bürstenelementtypen flexibel ausgestaltbar ist.
Die obige Aufgabe wird durch ein mindestens zwei Bürstenelemente umfassendes Bürstensystem gelöst, das die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 umfasst.The object of the invention is to provide a brush system comprising at least two brush elements, the brush elements safe, simple, fast and are inexpensively exchangeable, the brush system is flexibly ausgestaltbar in terms of its shape, size and type with a minimum number of different brush element types.
The above object is achieved by a brush system comprising at least two brush elements, which comprises the features of patent claim 1.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist auch, eine Etikettiermaschine mit einer Vielzahl von auf Trägern lösbar befestigten Bürstensystemen zu schaffen, so dass die Bürstenelemente sicher, einfach, schnell und kostengünstig an ihren jeweiligen Bürstensystemen austauschbar sind und die Bürstensysteme der Etikettiermaschine hinsichtlich ihren Formen, Größen und Arten mit einer Mindestzahl von unterschiedlichen Bürstenelementtypen flexibel ausgestaltbar sind.The object of the invention is also to provide a labeling machine with a variety of releasably secured on carriers brush systems, so that the brush elements are safe, easy, fast and inexpensive interchangeable with their respective brush systems and the brush systems of the labeling with respect to their shapes, sizes and types a minimum number of different brush element types are flexibly ausgestaltbar.

Die obige Aufgabe wird durch eine Etikettiermaschine gelöst, die die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 7 umfasst.
Das erfindungsgemäße Bürstensystem umfasst mindestens zwei Bürstenelemente und einen Träger mit einer Vielzahl von Aufnahmen für die Bürstenelemente. An dem Träger ist somit je nach Bedarf eine Vielzahl von Bürstenelementen von möglichst gleichem Bürstenelementtyp anbringbar bzw. entnehmbar, so dass das Bürstensystem variabel und modular aufgebaut ist. Jedes Bürstenelement umfasst einen Bürstenkörper mit mindestens zwei Seiten bzw. Flächen.The above object is achieved by a labeling machine comprising the features of claim 7.
The brush system according to the invention comprises at least two brush elements and a carrier with a plurality of receptacles for the brush elements. Thus, depending on requirements, a plurality of brush elements of the same brush element type as possible can be attached or removed from the support, so that the brush system is variably and modularly constructed. Each brush element comprises a brush body with at least two sides or surfaces.

Die erste Seite des Bürstenkörpers des jeweiligen Bürstenelements ist als eine Bürstenfunktionsseite vorgesehen, an der Borsten angebracht sind.The first side of the brush body of the respective brush member is provided as a brush function side to which bristles are attached.

Die zweite Seite des Bürstenkörpers des jeweiligen Bürstenelements liegt gegenüber der ersten Seite und ist als Bürstenträgerseite vorgesehen, die mit dem Träger zusammenwirkt. An der Bürstenträgerseite eines jeden Bürstenelements ist mindestens ein Klemmmittel angebracht, das mit einer der Aufnahmen des Trägers zur lösbaren Befestigung zusammenwirkt. Erfindungsgemäß hat jedes der Klemmmittel mindestens zwei elastische Rasthaken ausgeformt, die in jeweils eine der Aufnahmen einrastbar sind. Vorzugsweise sind an jedem Rasthaken ein Vorsprung und in jeder Aufnahme mindestens eine Öffnung ausgeformt, so dass ein jeweiliger Vorsprung des jeweiligen Klemmmittels die jeweilige Öffnung hinter greift. Durch die elastischen Rasthaken können die Bürstenelemente einfach, schnell ohne Verwendung von Werkzeugen in die Aufnahmen des Trägers eingesetzt oder entnommen werden. Zudem sind die Bürstenelemente durch die am Träger hinter greifenden Vorsprünge der Rasthaken fest am Träger gesichert.The second side of the brush body of the respective brush element lies opposite the first side and is provided as a brush carrier side, which cooperates with the carrier. On the brush carrier side of each brush element at least one clamping means is mounted, which cooperates with one of the receptacles of the carrier for releasable attachment. According to the invention, each of the clamping means has formed at least two elastic latching hooks, which can be latched into one of the receptacles. Preferably, a projection and in each receptacle at least one opening are formed on each latching hook, so that a respective projection of the respective clamping means engages behind the respective opening. Due to the elastic latching hooks, the brush elements can be easily, quickly inserted without the use of tools in the images of the wearer or be removed. In addition, the brush elements are secured by the support behind the carrier projections of the latching hooks firmly on the carrier.

Von weiterem Vorteil ist bekanntermaßen, wenn jeweils zwei benachbarte Bürstenelemente an ihren angrenzenden Randabschnitten formschlüssig aneinander liegen, so dass das Bürstensystem eine einheitliche und gleichmäßige Borstenfläche zur Verfügung stellt. Dabei ist ebenfalls bekanntermaßen ein Formschluss durch ineinander greifende korrespondierende Profilierungen der jeweils einander zugewandten Randabschnitte der Bürstenelemente besonders vorteilhaft, um hohen Belastungen entgegenzuwirken, denen die Bürstenelemente durch eventuelles Rütteln beim Bürsten mit hoher Geschwindigkeit ausgesetzt sind. Es sind beispielsweise Randprofile an den Bürstenelementen in Form von Verzahnungen, beispielsweise in Zickzack-, Trapez- oder Wellenform, denkbar. Es ist für den Fachmann offensichtlich, dass die Form der Profilierungen die Erfindung nicht beschränkt.It is known to be of further advantage if in each case two adjacent brush elements lie in a form-fitting manner against each other at their adjoining edge sections, so that the brush system provides a uniform and uniform bristle surface. It is also known that a positive connection by interlocking corresponding profiles of each facing edge portions of the brush elements is particularly advantageous to counteract high loads, which are exposed to the brush elements by any possible shaking during brushing at high speed. For example, edge profiles on the brush elements in the form of toothings, for example in zigzag, trapezoidal or wave form, are conceivable. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the shape of the profiles does not limit the invention.

Aus Material- und Kostengründen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die erfindungsgemäßen Klemmmittel einstückig mit dem jeweiligen Bürstenkörper des Bürstenelements hergestellt sind, beispielsweise aus einem Thermoplast.For reasons of material and cost, it is advantageous if the clamping means according to the invention are produced in one piece with the respective brush body of the brush element, for example of a thermoplastic.

Die erfindungsgemäße Etikettiermaschine umfasst eine Vielzahl von auf Trägern lösbar befestigten Bürstenelementen, wie oben beschrieben, möglichst gleichen Bürstenelementtyps. Die Etikettiermaschine umfasst beispielsweise unterschiedlich geformte Träger, die dazu geeignet sind, Etiketten aus Papier, Kunststoff oder einem Verbundstoff am Rumpf oder Hals der Flaschen und/oder Schutzetiketten aus Staniol, Kunststoff oder einem Verbundstoff am Kopf der Flaschen anbürsten. Je nach Funktion und Form der anzubürstenden Elemente können die Träger unterschiedlich geformt sein, beispielsweise flach und eben, bogenförmig oder walzenförmig.The labeling machine according to the invention comprises a multiplicity of brush elements detachably fastened on carriers, as described above, of the same brush element type as possible. The labeling machine includes, for example, differently shaped carriers suitable for brushing paper, plastic or composite labels on the body or neck of the bottles and / or protective labels of staniol, plastic or composite at the top of the bottles. Depending on the function and shape of the elements to be brushed, the carriers can be shaped differently, for example flat and flat, curved or cylindrical.

Im Folgenden sollen Ausführungsbeispiele die Erfindung und ihre Vorteile anhand der beigefügten Figuren näher erläutern.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Perspektivansicht einer Ausführungsform eines Bürstensystems 1, bei dem mehrere Bürstenelemente 10 an einem Träger 30 befestigt sind. In dieser Darstellung blickt man auf den Träger 30, der in der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform als eine rechteckige, ebene Platte geformt ist. Unterhalb des Trägers 30 sind drei Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 lösbar in den Träger 30 angebracht, die formschlüssig ineinandergreifen (siehe Figur 2), angedeutet durch die gestrichelten Zickzack-Linien. Der Träger 30 ist einstückig und die Zickzack-Linien sollen nur die Anordnung der Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 darunter andeuten. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a brush system 1, in which a plurality of brush elements 10 are fixed to a support 30. In this illustration, one looks at the carrier 30, which in the embodiment shown here is shaped as a rectangular, flat plate. Below the carrier 30, three brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 are detachably mounted in the carrier 30, which engage in a form-fitting manner (see FIG. 2 ), indicated by the dashed zigzag lines. The carrier 30 is in one piece and the zigzag lines are intended to indicate only the arrangement of the brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 below.

Die Bürstenelemente 101 und 102 sind von gleicher Gestalt und Größe im Unterschied zum Bürstenelement 103. Das Bürstenelement 103 ist mit einer seiner Längsseiten an jeweils einer kurzen Seite der Bürstenelemente 101, 102 auf dem Träger 30 und damit dazu quer angeordnet, was bekanntermaßen für eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung der Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 am Träger 30 sorgt. Es ist jedoch für einen Fachmann vorstellbar, dass Abwandlungen oder Änderungen der Abmessungen der Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 und andere Versatztechniken verwendet werden können, ohne dabei den Schutzbereich der nachstehenden Ansprüche zu verlassen.
Im Träger 30 sind sechs Aufnahmen 32 bzw. Öffnungen ausgebildet, in der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform in rechteckiger Form und in Form und Größe passend zu den darin eingeführten sechs Klemmmitteln 151, 152,..., 156. Die Klemmmittel 151, 152 sind am Bürstenkörper 111 angeordnet, die Klemmmittel 153, 154 am Bürstenkörper 112 und die Klemmmittel 155, 156 am Bürstenkörper 113. In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform sind je Bürstenelement 10 die zugehörigen beiden Klemmmittel 15 quer zueinander angeordnet, wiederum aus Stabilitätsgründen.The brush elements 10 1 and 10 2 are of the same shape and size as the brush element 10 3 . The brush element 10 3 is arranged with one of its longitudinal sides on each of a short side of the brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 on the support 30 and thus transversely thereto, which is known for additional stabilization of the brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 on the support 30th provides. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that variations or changes in the dimensions of the brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3, and other offset techniques may be used without departing from the scope of the following claims.
In the carrier 30, six receptacles 32 and openings are formed, in the embodiment shown here in rectangular shape and in shape and size to match the six clamping means 15 1 , 15 2 , ..., 15 6 introduced therein. The clamping means 15 1 , 15 2 are arranged on the brush body 11 1 , the clamping means 15 3 , 15 4 on the brush body 11 2 and the clamping means 15 5 , 15 6 on the brush body 11 3rd In the embodiment illustrated here, the associated two clamping means 15 are arranged transversely to one another per brush element 10, again for reasons of stability.

Jedes Klemmmittel 151, 152,..., 156 weist zwei Rasthaken 16 mit je einem Vorsprung 17 auf, der jeweils hinter den Träger 30 greift. Da die Rasthaken 16 aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt sind, können sie zusammengedrückt werden und passen in zusammengedrückten Zustand mitsamt den Vorsprüngen 17 durch die Aufnahmen 32 hindurch. So kann das jeweilige Bürstenelement 10 vom Träger 30 entfernt werden. Sind, wie hier dargestellt, maximal zwei Klemmmittel 15 an jedem Bürstenelement 10 angebracht, so kann ein Benutzer die Bürstenelemente 10 manuell leicht vom Träger 30 entfernen.
Die Bürstenkörper 111, 112, 113 weisen in der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform an ihren Randabschnitten 18 zickzackförmige Profilierungen 19 auf.Each clamping means 15 1 , 15 2 , ..., 15 6 has two latching hooks 16, each with a projection 17 which engages behind the carrier 30 respectively. Since the latching hooks 16 are made of an elastic material, they can be compressed and fit in compressed state together with the projections 17 through the receptacles 32 therethrough. Thus, the respective brush element 10 can be removed from the carrier 30. Are, as shown here, a maximum of two clamping means 15 attached to each brush element 10, a user can manually remove the brush elements 10 easily from the carrier 30.
The brush body 11 1 , 11 2 , 11 3 have in the embodiment shown here at its edge portions 18 zigzag profiles 19.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Bürstenfunktionsseiten 13 der drei Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 des Bürstensystems 1 nach Figur 1. Am Rand des Bürstensystems 1 ist noch die den Bürstenelementen 101, 102, 103 zugewandte Oberfläche des Trägers 30 zu erkennen. Die Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 sind formschlüssig miteinander verbunden wie in Figur 1 beschrieben und ergeben eine gleichmäßige und einheitliche Bürstfläche aus der Vielzahl der Borsten 14, die auf den Bürstenfunktionsseiten 13 eingebracht sind. FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the brush function sides 13 of the three brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 of the brush system 1 after FIG. 1 , At the edge of the brush system 1 is still the brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 facing surface of the carrier 30 can be seen. The brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 are positively connected to each other as in FIG. 1 described and result in a uniform and uniform brushing surface of the plurality of bristles 14, which are introduced on the brush function pages 13.

Die Borsten 14 werden üblicherweise bereits bei der Herstellung der Bürstenelemente 10 angebracht, die bevorzugt mit einem Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden.The bristles 14 are usually already mounted in the manufacture of the brush elements 10, which are preferably produced by an injection molding process.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die den Bürstenträgerseiten 12 (nicht dargestellt) der Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 abgewandten Seite des Trägers 30 des Bürstensystems 1 nach Figur 1. Die Bürstenelemente 101, 102, 103 sind am Träger 30 angebracht, es sind in Draufsicht jedoch nur die Enden der durch den Träger 30 durchgesteckten Vorsprünge 17 der Rasthaken 16 der Klemmmittel 151, 152,..., 156 sichtbar. Die äußeren Ränder 22 der Vorsprünge 17 ragen bezüglich der Mitte des jeweiligen Klemmmittels 151, 152,..., 156 über die Ränder 33 der Aufnahmen 32 und die Vorsprünge 17 greifen somit hinter den Träger 30. FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the brush carrier sides 12 (not shown) of the brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 opposite side of the support 30 of the brush system 1 after FIG. 1 , The brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 are mounted on the carrier 30, but in plan view, only the ends of the pushed through the carrier 30 projections 17 of the locking hooks 16 of the clamping means 15 1 , 15 2 , ..., 15 6 visible , The outer edges 22 of the projections 17 protrude with respect to the center of the respective clamping means 15 1 , 15 2 , ..., 15 6 over the edges 33 of the receptacles 32 and the projections 17 thus engage behind the carrier 30th

Figur 4 zeigt eine Seitenansicht des Bürstensystems 1 nach Figur 1. In der Seitenansicht sind nur die Bürstenelemente 102, 103 sichtbar, deren Abgrenzung voneinander jedoch durch die Profilierung 19 in Zickzackform an den Randabschnitten 18 in der Seitenansicht nicht erkennbar ist. FIG. 4 shows a side view of the brush system 1 after FIG. 1 , In the side view, only the brush elements 10 2 , 10 3 visible, the delimitation of each other, however, by the profiling 19 in zigzag shape at the edge portions 18 in the side view is not visible.

Vom Träger 30 abgewandt weisen die beiden hier sichtbaren Bürstenkörper 112, 113 der Bürstenelemente 102, 103 jeweils eine Bürstenfunktionsseite 13 auf, eine Beborstung ist hier jedoch nicht dargestellt. Die jeweiligen Bürstenträgerseiten 12 der beiden Bürstenkörper 112, 113 sind mit dem Träger 30 verbunden, wenn die Rasthaken 16 der Klemmmittel 151,..., 156 im Träger eingerastet sind. Durch den gewählten Seitenausschnitt sind im Vordergrund die Klemmmittel 152, 153, 154 und im Hintergrund des Klemmmittels 154 das Klemmmittel 155 zu sehen.Turned away from the carrier 30, the two visible here brush body 11 2 , 11 3 of the brush elements 10 2 , 10 3 each have a brush function page 13, a bristle is not shown here. The respective brush carrier sides 12 of the two brush body 11 2 , 11 3 are connected to the carrier 30 when the latching hooks 16 of the clamping means 15 1 , ..., 15 6 are engaged in the carrier. By the selected side cut the clamping means 15 2 , 15 3 , 15 4 and in the background of the clamping means 15 4, the clamping means 15 5 can be seen in the foreground.

Figur 5 zeigt eine Perspektivansicht von drei unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen von Bürstenelementen 101, 102, 103, die jeweils mit unterschiedlichen Klemmmitteln 15 ausgestaltet sind. Beim Bürstenelement 101 ist zusätzlich ein Steckknopf 20 zwischen den beiden Klemmmitteln 151, 152 vorgesehen. Dieser Steckknopf 20 erleichtert durch eine Führungsfunktion das Anbringen des Bürstenelements 101 am Träger 30. Bei einem anderen Bürstenelement 103 kann zusätzlich zu den zwei äußeren Klemmmitteln 153, 154 ein weiteres Klemmmittel 155 vorgesehen sein, das zusätzlich eine Stabilisierung und Halterung des Bürstenelements 103 am Träger 30 gewährleistet. Dies ist vor allem bei langen Bürstenelementen 10 sinnvoll. FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of three different embodiments of brush elements 10 1 , 10 2 , 10 3 , which are each configured with different clamping means 15. When brush element 10 1 , a plug button 20 is additionally provided between the two clamping means 15 1 , 15 2 . This plug button 20 facilitates by a guide function attaching the brush element 10 1 on the carrier 30. In another brush element 10 3 may be provided in addition to the two outer clamping means 15 3 , 15 4 another clamping means 15 5 , which additionally stabilize and support the Brush element 10 3 ensures the carrier 30. This is especially useful for long brush elements 10.

Figur 6 zeigt eine Perspektivansicht von unten auf die drei unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen von Bürstenelementen 10 nach Figur 5. Alle Elemente sind bereits in Figur 5 beschrieben. FIG. 6 shows a perspective view from below of the three different embodiments of brush elements 10 FIG. 5 , All elements are already in FIG. 5 described.

Figur 7 zeigt eine Perspektivansicht einer weiteren Ausführungsform des Bürstensystems 1 mit einem bogenförmigen Träger 30 und einer ebenen Bürstfläche aus Borsten 14 (nicht dargestellt). Unterhalb einer ebenen Fläche des Trägers 30 ist eine Vielzahl von Bürstenelementen 10 lösbar befestigt, deren Abgrenzung voneinander jedoch durch die Profilierung 19 in Zickzackform an den Randabschnitten 18 wiederum in der Darstellung nicht erkennbar ist. FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of another embodiment of the brush system 1 with an arcuate support 30 and a planar brush surface of bristles 14 (not shown). Below a flat surface of the carrier 30, a plurality of brush elements 10 is releasably secured, the delimitation of which, however, by the profiling 19 in zigzag form at the edge portions 18 again in the illustration is not recognizable.

Die rechteckigen Klemmmittel 15 der Bürstenelemente 10 an der längeren konvexen Bogenseite 35 des Trägers 30 sind ihrer längeren Seite nach bezüglich der längeren Bogenseite 35 hintereinander angeordnet. Dahingegen sind die Klemmmittel 15 an der kürzeren konkaven Bogenseite 36 des Trägers 30 in ihrer kürzeren Seite nach bezüglich der kürzeren Bogenseite 36 hintereinander angeordnet. Durch diese Anordnung liegen die Paare von sich an der kürzen und längeren Seite 35 bzw. 36 gegenüber liegenden Klemmmitteln 15 quer zu einander und unterstützen damit, wie oben beschrieben, die stabile Halterung auf dem Träger 30.The rectangular clamping means 15 of the brush elements 10 on the longer convex sheet side 35 of the carrier 30 are arranged on their longer side with respect to the longer sheet side 35 in a row. In contrast, the clamping means 15 on the shorter concave arc side 36 of the carrier 30 in its shorter side with respect to the shorter sheet side 36 arranged one behind the other. By virtue of this arrangement, the pairs of clamping means 15 located opposite one another on the shorter and longer side 35 and 36 are transverse to one another and thus support, as described above, the stable mounting on the carrier 30.

Figur 8 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Bürstenfunktionsseiten 13 der Bürstenelemente 10 des Bürstensystems 1 nach Figur 7. Am Rand des Bürstensystems 1 ist noch die den Bürstenelementen 10 zugewandte Oberfläche des Trägers 30 zu erkennen.
