Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes, wherein bristle tufts are filled into holes or receiving openings of molds, wherein initially the bristle tufts are formed from single bristles by a bristle supply is separated into bristle tufts, after which these individual bristle tufts Form supplied by means of a gas or air flow, transported by leading to each hole to be filled leading feed lines and introduced into the perforations of the mold.
  • the invention further relates to a device for producing bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes, with a perforated or receiving openings provided form, in each of which a bristle tuft fits, wherein supply means or supply lines are provided to the mold and at least each hole to be filled a supply means belongs or leads a supply line to which supply lines means for generating a gas or air flow to the mold can be connected.
  • the inventive method provides that the bristle tufts are first filled into holes of a first shape whose cross section is greater than the cross section of the respective bristle tufts in its compressed form of use, that serving for promoting gas or air flow in the form between flows through the bristles until all the bristles are filled in the first mold, and then that the bristle tufts are transferred from this first shape into a second shape with narrower receiving openings, the two forms have on their sides facing each other matching or nearly matching hole patterns.
  • the bristles may be relatively first in the first shape loose and thus completely filled, after which they are compacted only when transferred to the second form, so if all belonging to a bristle tufts bristles together and a residual individual bristles is no longer to be feared.
  • the second shape can thus be arranged with the narrower receiving openings in continuation of the first mold, so that the receiving openings of the first and the second mold can continue and / or aligned with each other, and then the bristle tufts can after conveying into the first form of their continuous receiving openings are conveyed into the narrower receiving openings of the second mold and thereby compressed.
  • a development of the method according to the invention can provide the bristle tufts are conveyed from the second mold, in particular mechanically by means of rams or pins or by means of compressed gas or compressed air, into the perforations of a brush body.
  • the bristle tufts are compacted by the second mold, they can be inserted from there into the corresponding perforations of the brush body, using proven techniques.
  • the bristle tufts from the second mold for stepwise or further compaction are first conveyed into at least one further form with perforations whose cross section is smaller than that of the perforations of the second mold.
  • the compression process according to the invention can take place or be repeated in several steps.
  • the bristle tufts between the removal from the second mold and the introduction into a brush body profiled at its working end and / or cut at its end remote from the working end and / or fused and / or the cross section is changed and / or at least two bristle tufts are brought together.
  • the bristle tufts between the removal from the second mold and the introduction into a brush body profiled at its working end and / or cut at its end remote from the working end and / or fused and / or the cross section is changed and / or at least two bristle tufts are brought together.
  • the inventive, initially defined device for producing bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes may be characterized to solve the problem be that in addition to the first shape is provided a second shape that the holes of the first shape have a larger cross-section than a bristle tufts to be formed, that the perforations of the second shape have a smaller cross-section than that of the first form that at the entrance into each perforations of the second shape is arranged in each case an insertion and compression slope and that the two forms have on their sides facing each other matching or nearly matching hole patterns.
  • the solution according to the invention therefore accepts that at least two molds are to be provided one behind the other or must be placed one behind the other, so apparently a greater effort is operated, but this ensures that the bristle tufts with the aid of a gas or air flow with great certainty to their destination can be brought in the connection to the supply lines without leaving behind individual bristles and then the resulting bristle tufts would not be complete.
  • a non-exact match of the hole patterns is possible if the insertion bevels bridge a certain lateral offset of the longitudinal centers of the substantially continuing receiving openings.
  • the insertion bevel which facilitates and permits the transition from the larger-diameter perforations into the narrower perforations of the second mold, may be provided on the second mold itself or on an intermediate plate arranged between the first mold and the second mold.
  • this introduction bevel can lead into the narrower perforation in the shape of a funnel, for example, and be designed as a hollow cone, for example. It is particularly favorable if the perforations of the first and second molds continue at least in the position of use and in particular are aligned with one another. This allows the bristle tufts in a particularly simple manner from the first in the second form will be transferred.
  • the cross section of at least part of the perforations or the cross section of all perforations can be profiled circular or deviating from a round shape. In this way, bristle tufts of different overall cross-sections can be preformed.
  • the cross section of the perforations of the first shape ie the preform, circular and the cross section of the perforations of the subsequent shape is profiled.
  • the bristle tufts can first be loosely taken up in the first form in relatively easy to produce holes and then profiled in the transition to the second shape in terms of their cross-section.
  • a possible further embodiment of the device may provide that, in addition to the first mold and the second mold for stepwise or further compaction of the bristle tufts, at least one further mold is initially provided which has perforations whose cross section is smaller than that of the perforations of the second mold , With such a device configured, it is possible, for example, if necessary, to compress the bristles in a plurality of smaller compression steps in the desired manner or to put in an overall higher compressed state.
  • the degree of filling of the second form can be significantly increased, for example to about 70%, which degree of filling in the first form would cause the flow no longer flow smoothly until the end of the delivery phase could.
  • a device as a whole designated 1 is analogous to the device, which in the EP 0 405 204 B1 for making bristle pads for brushes or bristle bunches for brushes.
  • To this device 1 includes at least one provided with holes 2 or holes shape 3, in each of which a bristle tufts 4 fits. You can see analogous to the EP 0 405 204 B1 Feed lines 5, which lead to the mold 3 and serve as a supply means, whereby the bristle tufts 4 can be transported to each hole to be filled 2.
  • Form 3 has a connection for applying a negative pressure to the individual perforations 2 at the ends of the supply lines 5 or openings and openings and at the opposite ends of the supply lines 5 can in any
  • An overpressure can be applied to transport the bristle tufts 4 through the feed lines 5 to the mold 3 by means of a gas or air flow.
  • FIG. 2 a further part of the device 1 is shown.
  • a second mold 7 is provided, which also has perforations 8 for receiving bristle tufts 4.
  • bristle pads for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes it is possible in the manufacture of bristle pads for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes to remove bristle tufts 4 by means of a removal slide 10 from a bristle magazine 11 and to separate, as it is known from EP 0 405 204 B1 is known.
  • the bristle tufts 4 are initially formed from single bristles by a bristle stock, as mentioned, is singulated to these bristle tufts 4. Thereafter, the bristles are tufts of the first mold 3 by means of a gas or air flow through the supply lines. 5 supplied and introduced into the holes 2 of the first mold 3.
  • the bristle tufts 4 are therefore initially filled in perforations 2 of a first mold 3, whose cross-section, as already mentioned, is larger than the cross section of the respective bristle tufts 4 in its later compressed form of use. Accordingly, the individual bristles of the tufts 4 are loosely in the first mold 3, so that even after the introduction of these bristle tufts 4 in the mold 3, the conveying gas or air stream is not hindered. Furthermore, it is avoided that possibly individual bristles of a bristle tufts 4 do not get into the corresponding hole 2, because its cross section would be too narrow.
  • the bristle tufts 4 can be transferred from this first mold 3 after the pivoting over the second mold 7 in this second form 7 with the narrower receiving openings or holes 8 to compress them and bring them into a narrower cross section, as he when desired later in a brush is desired.
  • the insertion bevels 9 are provided on the second mold 7 itself at the entrance to the perforations 8. It would also be conceivable, however, to arrange an intermediate plate between the first mold 3 and the second mold 7, which has these insertion bevels 9.
  • the two forms 3 and 7 on their sides facing each other may have matching hole patterns, that is, the perforations 2 of the first mold 3 and the perforations 8 of the second mold 7 continue in the position of use and are aligned with each other their central axes. This is especially clear in FIG. 4 ,
  • the hole patterns of the two forms only almost coincide and the perforations 2 of the first mold 3 and the holes 8 of the second mold 7 are slightly offset from each other, so their longitudinal centers parallel to each other but at a small distance, as it FIG. 5 shows.
  • the transition between the perforations 2 and the holes 8 is still bridged by the insertion funnel 9, so that the bristle tufts 4 from the perforations 2 can be easily transferred into the narrower holes 8 in this case.
  • the bristle fields can already be configured in a desired manner.
  • cross section of individual or all perforations 2 and 8 can be profiled in a circle or deviating from a round shape.
  • the cross section of the perforations 2 of the first mold 3, in a sense a preform, circular and the cross section of the perforations 8 of the subsequent second mold 7 is profiled to form correspondingly profiled bristle tufts for the brush.
  • This transfer of the bristle tufts 4 from the first mold 3 into the second mold 7 can be effected, for example, mechanically by means of plungers or pins which are not shown.
  • the bristle tufts 4 can then be conveyed in particular mechanically by means of plungers or pins into the perforations of a brush body.
  • the second form 7 can therefore according to their in FIG. 6 shown filling cooperate with the compacted bristle tufts 4 in a known manner with brush bodies and corresponding brackets to bring the bristle tufts 4 in their final position of use.
  • bristle tufts 4 are filled in perforations or receiving openings 2 of a first mold 3, wherein initially the bristle tufts 4 are formed from single bristles by a bristle supply is separated into bristle tufts 4. Thereafter, the bristles are fed in tufts of the form 3 by means of a gas or air flow through feed lines 5 and introduced into the holes 2 of the first mold 3.
  • the cross section of the perforations or receiving openings 8 of this first mold 3 is greater than the cross section of the respective bristle tufts 4 in its later compressed position of use, so that the gas or air flow even after transferring the bristle tufts 4 in the mold 3 practically unhindered by the perforations or receiving openings 8 can flow through.
  • the bristle tufts 4 are transferred from this first mold 3 into a second mold 7 with narrower receiving openings 8 in order to bring the bristle tufts 4 into the desired compressed or compacted form.
