Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ring-shaped brush comprising a number of brush-rings each consisting of a ring-shaped core part and a radially protruding brush part, which brush-rings can be axially fixed one after another on a shaft-shaped pick-up instrument of a sweeping machine, said ring-shaped core part comprising a number of deformations along its circumference.
  • Such a brush is known by US 6,205,609 Bl.
  • the flat surface of said ring-shaped core part is deformed such that a descending part is followed by a corresponding ascending part.
  • a relatively equal brush thread division along the formed cylindrical surfaxe of the finished brush for a sweeping machine is obtained.
  • the object of the invention is to raise this disadvantage and to provide an improved brush.
  • each ring-shaped core part is shaped such that along its circumference a multiple set of deforming steps is present, each set comprising at least two descending steps followed by one ascending step.
  • the advantage is, that as regards intensity of the brush surface, a very flexible adjustable brush ring assembly is created, which assembly can be used for very different, more or less intensive surfaces to be sweeped.
  • the economy is also in the benefit, because by adjustment, the surface to be sweeped can mechanically be less affected and for lighter sweeping work, one can use less brush rings for the cylindrical brush ring assembly.
  • n is at least 3 and with larger diameters preferably 5 and more, in which the mentioned ring-shaped core part is applied rotation fixed by means of an axial catch pin and groove construction along the radial inner circumference of the ring-shaped core part and along the radial outer circumference of the mentioned shaft-shaped pick-up instrument.
  • the device according to the invention is further developed in such a way, that the mentioned ring-shaped brushes, placed on the shaft-shaped pick-up instrument of the sweeping machine can be locked at the ends with a fast mountable flange or disc construction.
  • the advantage is a very handy and simple catch pin- and groove construction to mount and lock the separate brush rings in the required position onto the shaft-shaped pick-up instrument.
  • Figure 1 shows a front view in oblique projection of the most dense stacking of the core part 2 of the separate brush ring 1 (see figure 4), in which the radially protruding fibres 7 (see figure 4) are left out.
  • the core part 2 is deformed each time in at least two steps or positions 5-4 and 4-3 descending and each time in one step 3-5 ascending almost vertical to the flat surface to the original ring-shaped core part 2.
  • the rotation fixation of the core parts 2 and 2 1 is in this embodiment constructed by the centric protruding instrument or cams or catch pins 6, which stick into the not shown axial grooves of the shaft-shaped pick-up instrument.
  • the mentioned axial grooves are applied over a suitable angle dependant on the value n on or over the shaft-shaped pick-up instrument in order to create the positions of the core parts 2 and 2 1 to respectively the most dense, medium and most open brush or by more steps into even more positions.
  • Figure 2 shows the most open stacked brush rings in oblique projection, as also shown in figure 3C. At the most open brush a minimum quantity of brush rings 1 come onto the not shown shaft-shaped pick-up instrument of the sweeping machine.
  • Figures 3A, 3B and 3C show in side view along the circumference of the brush ring 1 (see also figure 4), the most dense stacking (figure 3A), the medium stacking (figure 3B) and the most open stacking of the core parts 2 and 2 1 of the brush rings 1 at an n of 3, in which n shows the number of deformations of the descending and ascending steps along the circumference vertical onto the brush surface of the core part 2, 2 1 .
  • Figure 4 shows a front view of the complete brush ring 1, in which the core part 2, 2 1 is shown in steps with the same indication numbers of steps 5-4, 4-3 and 3-5 or 5 1 -4 1 , 4 1 -3 1 and 3 1 -5 1 .
  • the core part 2, 2 1 with the radial brush part 7 is mostly made as a whole of plastic, such as, for example, polypropylene.
  • Figure 5 shows over the line V-V of figure 4 a cross-section of the brush ring 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The different steps and parts are each time indicated with the same numbers.
  • Figure 6 shows a front view of the core part 2 of the brush ring 1 only, in which the different steps of 5-4, 4-3 and 3-5 are shown along the circumference of the 20 mm broad edge. Also the catch pins 6, in this case 4 pieces, are shown.
  • the successive core parts can be turned over suitable angles to lie against the different surfaces 5, 4 and 3, through which the catch pins 6 can be turned over the mentioned angles over the grooves in the shaft-shaped pick-up instrument, through which a suitable brush density s created.
  • Figure 7 shows a side view over the line VII of figure 6 for clarification, in which the brush threads are left out.
