Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a brush, in particular a round brush, with a bristle part and a carrier, in which the bristle part protrudes and in which it is fixed, wherein the bristle part has bristles fastened via twisted wire sections.
  • the invention relates to a device for producing a brush and a brush itself.
  • the invention relates to the manufacturing method and an apparatus for producing a round brush and a round brush itself.
  • So-called turned round brushes have a bristle part, which consists on the one hand of the bristles and on the other hand of a wire, in which sections are twisted together. Between the twisted wire sections bristles are clamped in the middle, which then have projecting ends.
  • Such brushes are used in particular as miniature brushes, especially as interdental brushes and mascara brushes.
  • the wire whose sections are twisted together, has a diameter of less than 1 mm, with interdental brushes of a few tenths of a millimeter.
  • interdental brushes it is important that the bristle part is securely anchored in the carrier. This eliminates the possibility of the carrier separating from the bristle part when the interdental brush is jammed between teeth that are close to each other.
  • Previous miniature brushes are made so that the bristle portion, which has a bristle portion and a carrier-side, bristle-free end, is glued to this carrier-side end in a hole of the carrier is encapsulated in the manufacture of the carrier or by fusing or welding after an inductive heating of the carrier is positively embedded in these.
  • the carrier forms a handle or handle, which is equipped with a lockable and unlockable fastening means for the carrier-side end of the bristle part.
  • the bristle part is inserted with its carrier-side end in an opening and then bent over a pivotable lever at the same time by 90 ° and clamped.

  • the wire is fixed in the carrier by means of a separate anchor part.
  • This fixation is carried out by the anchor part itself, which has an excess over the hole and deforms the hole wall.
  • the anchor part can also partially plastically deform the hole wall, as is the case in the preferred embodiment.
  • a cutting of the Anchor parts in the hole wall is to be understood as a plastic deformation.
  • the anchor part is anchored exclusively by the impact in the carrier, there are no further process steps for additional securing of the bristle part in the carrier downstream.
  • At least one wire section is bent at the carrier-side end. In the bent end of the anchor part is then added.
  • the anchor part entrains the bristle part and clamps it in the carrier. By the bent end an additional positive locking is achieved in the extension direction.
  • the wearer-side end of the bristle portion may be U-shaped or bent to form a closed or almost closed loop.

  • the anchor part is designed as a loop, which is formed by a bent wire.
  • the anchor part if it has protruding feet or protruding ends, with these pressed ahead in the hole.
  • the method according to the invention is preferably used for producing a miniature brush, in particular in the form of a mascara or interdental brush.
  • Such brushes have a maximum diameter in the brush section of less than 10 mm.
  • the wire sections are formed so that as possible no free, sharp ends protrude from two merge into one another wire halves.
  • the free ends of the wire lie completely inside the carrier after attachment, So do not stand out of this. It is in this area no rework, for example, by cutting the protruding from the carrier end necessary, because, as already mentioned, the two free ends of the wire sections are completely in the carrier.
  • the carrier is the same as the handle part itself.
  • the carrier could also be detachable and temporarily lockable in a handle part.
  • the carrier should have a frontal hole in which the bristle part is attached.
  • the anchor part can be pressed into the side hole wall or into the hole bottom.
  • the anchor part of this is pressed into the hole bottom.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that not only radially projecting bristles are provided, but additionally bristles extending substantially parallel to the carrier-side end of the twisted wire section are present. These bristles are also mounted in the hole and protrude out of it.
  • the attachment of the bristles is preferably also via the anchor part, in particular, such attachment is very simple in the embodiment with the anchor part designed as a loop. Here, bristles can be held in the loop so that their two ends run parallel out of the hole.
  • the additional bristles extend to the radially protruding bristles without protruding between them.
  • the extra bristles provide a new way of cleaning, especially with interdental brushes, by cleaning the radial bristles between the adjacent teeth, while the additional bristles clean the inward depression between adjacent teeth and the gum.
  • a device for producing a brush in particular a round brush, which has a carrier and a bristle part fastened in the carrier.
  • the bristle part has fixed bristles via twisted wire sections and serves in particular for implementation the aforementioned method.

  • the bristle part is permanently fastened in a hole in the carrier by means of an anchor part attached to its carrier-side end, as already explained above with reference to the method.
  • the hole wall is plastically deformed by the anchor part according to the preferred embodiment, to thereby be anchored in the carrier. Under plastic deformation is in this context, of course, a cut to understand.
  • the brush according to the invention may optionally also have the properties mentioned in connection with the method, as described above and indicated in the subclaims.
  • FIG. 1 a device for producing a brush 10 is shown stylized.
  • the brush 10 is designed as a round brush and comprises a support 12, which is preferably designed as an elongated body and at the same time forms the handle part.
  • the end face of the carrier 12 has a hole 14 in which a so-called bristle part 16 is attached.
  • the bristle part 16 is a so-called twisted bristle part with a wire 18, the two halves of which are twisted together. Between the twisted wire sections bristles 20 are clamped.
  • the bristle part 16 thus comprises a section 22 provided with the bristles 20 and a bristle-free, carrier-side section 24.
  • the bristle-side portion 24 is bent at its wearer-side end, preferably to a U or to a closed loop.
