Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for forming a bundle of bristles and to a device suitable for carrying out the method.
  • bristle bundles are formed by dividing a predetermined number of bristle filaments from at least one filament container.
  • a receiving device is guided past the at least one filament container.
  • This receiving device has an opening formed on the edge, which removes a certain number of bristle filaments determined by the size of the opening from the filament container when passing on the filament container.
  • Generic processes are for example from the DE-OS-21 28 774 , of the DE-OS-19 38 937 , of the DE-OS-20 20 976 , of the EP-A-0 681 796 , of the DE-A-197 34 615 or the DE-A-197 45 024 known.
  • a receiving device designed as a circular arc is regularly guided past one or more bristle supplies in the form of filament containers.
  • the circular arc which terminates the bristle supply otherwise with its circumferential surface takes in its opening a predetermined number of bristle filaments from the filament container when it passes the filament container.
  • further bristle filaments of a different kind may optionally be accommodated by altering the size of the opening when the circular arc passes the second or further filament container (cf. DE-A-197 34 615 ). With this procedure, it is possible to form the later bristle bundle directly in the opening as a mixture of filaments of different types.
  • the opening is moved to a removal device, where the thus separated bristle bundle is removed from the circular arc and fed to a further processing to finally attach the bristle bundle to a bristle carrier.
  • the DE-A-197 45 024 discloses another method in which the bundle of bristles is formed over a rotating disc provided with at least one opening, the filament containers aligned concentrically with the center and pivot point of the disc Essentially seals and while passing on individual filament containers their bristle filaments in the opening entrains.
  • the bundle of bristles formed over the disc is transferred at a transfer station to a pivotable circular arc, which spans the bristle bundle from this first station to a second station, where a darning needle removes the bundle of bristles from the circular arc and stuffs a brush head therewith.
  • a darning needle removes the bundle of bristles from the circular arc and stuffs a brush head therewith.
  • different filaments are included in this prior art.
  • bristle bundles with bristle filaments are taken from a single filament container described method. Nevertheless, bristle bundles of identical filaments can be formed for the transfer to the circular arc, wherein the filaments different bristle bundles differ.
  • the DE-A-197 34 615 discloses a procedure in which in a single opening of the circular arc a bristle bundle formed from different bristle filaments may be formed by pasting on a plurality of filament containers.
  • the previously known device has a means by which the size of the opening when passing the first filament container can be reduced and which then completely releases the opening, so that when passing on another filament container further bristle filaments to form the bristle bundle in the opening in these can be introduced.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of specifying a method and a device suitable for carrying out the method, with which bristle bundles consisting of different bristle filaments can be produced rapidly and reliably.
  • the present invention provides a method having the features of claim 1. This differs from the prior art accordingly DE-A-197 34 615 in that the first and / or the second filament container is moved during the formation of the bristle bundle.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that effective process control is made possible by moving at least one of the filament containers, for example to selectively pass the movable filament container past the peripheral opening in order to remove bristle bundles from this movable filament container. Should it not be desired to mix different bristle filaments from different filament containers, the movement of the at least one filament container can be dispensed with in the formation of the special bristle bundle. Then, the bristle bundle is formed only of filaments of a single, for example, stationary filament container. The relative movement of at least one filament container in the formation of the bristle bundle then makes it possible to influence the composition of the individual bristle bundles.
  • the receiving device can cyclically reciprocate in the inventive method. But it can just as well be moved in the same direction. In addition to a rotary or a pivoting movement about a pivot point, the receiving device can also be moved translationally. In this case, an edge surface cooperating with the filament containers forms the peripheral surface of the receptacle sealing the filament containers.
  • the first and second filament containers are movable together.
  • the filament containers can be guided past a circular segment-shaped outer circumferential surface of the receiving device in a translatory and tangential manner. With such a movement, the filament containers become preferably passed approximately tangentially on the outer peripheral surface of the receiving device.
  • the filament containers can also be guided rotationally past the outer circumferential surface of the receiving device in order to transfer a certain number of filaments from the filament container into the opening as they pass the moving receiving device.
  • the first and second filament containers are preferably guided approximately tangentially past the outer peripheral surface of the receiving device. The bristle bundle formed in this way is transferred with the movable receiving device to a second position for removal from the receiving device.
  • the bundle of bristles in the manner described above as a mixture of at least two different types of filaments in an opening.
  • the at least two filament containers are regularly guided past the moving receiving device.
  • the relative velocity between the receiver and the moving bristle containers may be utilized to vary the mixing ratio within the bristle pack receiving aperture.
  • a bristle bundle with predominantly bristle filaments of a first filament container and a few bristle filaments of a second filament container can be formed by the first relatively long communicates with the opening by movement of the filament container, whereas the second filament container communicates only briefly with the opening.
  • the opening may be associated with a means which at least communicates with the first filament container communicating a portion of the opening so as to accommodate the filaments of the second filament container upon communication with the second filament container by releasing the residual volume of the opening ,
  • the receiving device has at least one first and at least one second opening and that the relative movement is such that the first opening is guided past a different filament container than the second opening.
  • the relative movement is such that the first opening is guided past a different filament container than the second opening.
  • only part of the bristle bundle to be formed is first separated from the filament containers in each of the openings and transferred to the receiving device.
  • These subregions of the bristle bundle to be formed are usually moved in succession over the receiving device to the second position. Since the regularly provided on the outer circumference of the receiving device Openings are provided offset from each other, an opening will first reach the first position to be removed there from the receiving device and transferred to an intermediate holding device.
  • the temporally thereafter the second position reaching portion of the bristle bundle is also removed at the second position of the receiving device and transferred to the intermediate holding means and combined with the first part of the bristle bundle to complete the same.
  • the mixing ratio within a single aperture and / or the ratio of different bristle bundles from different filament containers within a single aperture may be affected by the speed at which the filament containers are moved relative to the receiver.
  • the movement can take place in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the movement of the receiving device, it being assumed that the receiving device is rotatably mounted and either cyclically moved to divide bristle filaments in the at least one opening from the filament container and take into the second position or is stored rotatingly, as is the case of the applicant DE-A-100 62 398 teaches.
  • a particularly low-wear and reliable process control is achieved in that the receiving device and the filament containers are moved substantially at the same speed and in the same direction to each other. In the same sense, this means that the respective peripheral speed of the opening corresponds to the rotational or translatory movement of the respective filament container cooperating with this opening.
  • a filament container can also be considered a reduced compared to the size of the filament container channel, which is exposed at the transfer point between the filament container and the receiving device to the opening.
  • the present invention proposes a device for forming a bundle of bristles with a pivotably mounted receiving device whose outer, at least one filament container sealing circumferential surface has at least one edge-side opening for receiving bristle filaments from the corresponding filament container.
  • This receiving device is from a first position in which the opening with the at least a filament container communicates, movable in a second position in which the bristle filaments contained in the opening are removed from the opening.
  • the at least one filament container is movably arranged, whereby, for example, the time with which the filament container communicates with the opening can be extended, which improves the accuracy and reliability in transferring bristle filaments from the filament containers into the opening.
  • At least two filament containers are arranged directly next to each other and on a movable support.
  • This preferred embodiment simplifies the structure, since only a movable element in the form of the carrier must be provided in order to provide all filament containers movable.
  • the movement of the movable support can then be used to adjust the mixing ratio between different filaments of different filament containers.
  • the carrier can be mounted in a translatory or rotationally movable manner.
  • the FIG. 1a shows a device with a carrier 1, which carries different filament containers 2.1 to 2.6 and is driven in translation by a drive device, not shown.
  • the filament containers 2.1 to 2.6 each open to a longitudinal side of the carrier 1.
  • the device comprises a receiving device in the form of a circular arc 3, which is mounted pivotably about a pivot point D.
  • the circular arc 3 is close to its outer peripheral surface of guide elements 4a, 4b surrounded, which leave a free space 5 between them.
  • an opening 6 formed on the circular arc 3 can communicate with a selected filament container 2.
  • the circular arc 3 has on its outer circumferential surface two openings 6a, 6b opening to the outer circumference of the circular arc 3. These two openings 6a, 6b are provided on the outer circumference of the circular arc 3 at a distance from each other.
  • the device further has a removal device, not shown, which is effective at position 7 to remove bristle filaments contained in one of the openings 6a, 6b of the circular arc 3.
  • a removal device not shown, which is effective at position 7 to remove bristle filaments contained in one of the openings 6a, 6b of the circular arc 3. This can be done, for example, in the DE-A-197 34 615 done manner described. Also suitable in the DE-A-100 62 398 described procedure.
  • a bristle bundle consisting of several different bristle filaments is formed.
  • the bristle filaments can differ in terms of their color, their material properties and / or their dimensions (diameter and / or length).
  • the circular arc 3 is pivoted clockwise.
  • the initially empty opening 6a is guided past the filament container 2.4, which is located in the free space 5.
  • a predetermined number of bristle filaments from the filament container 2.4 is forced into the opening 6a.
  • This opening 6a is completely filled with bristle filaments of the filament container 2.4.
  • the second opening 6b is now positioned in the free space 5. Due to the translatorsichen movement of the carrier 1 is now the filament container 2.5 in the free space 5 and communicates with the opening 6b (see. FIG. 1b ). Accordingly, only filaments of the filament container 2.5 are introduced into the second opening 6b.
  • the Figure 1c shows the circular arc 3 with continued pivoting movement and before reaching a second position 7 of the first opening 6a (arrow I). Thereafter, the carrier 1 and the circular arc 3 is moved to the starting position (arrow II).
  • the removal device becomes effective at position 7, which ejects the filaments contained in the opening 6a radially outward from the opening 6a and transfers them to an intermediate holder.
  • the pushing out of the filaments contained in the opening 6b takes place on reaching the second position 7 by the removal device.
  • the filaments held in the two openings 6a, 6b previously separated from each other are combined. It is formed a bundle of bristles consisting of two different types of filaments present.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2c show the above with reference to the FIGS. 1a to 1c shown procedure in the case of a rotational movement of the carrier 1.
  • This carrier is in the in FIG. 2 rotatably mounted embodiment shown and has on its outer periphery a plurality of immediately adjacent filament containers 2.1 to 2.6.
  • the guide elements 4a, 4b have no straight mating surfaces with which they cover the filament containers outside of the free space 5. Rather, the guide elements 4a, 4b are curved in opposite directions to cooperate on the one hand with the outer peripheral surface of the circular arc 3 and on the other hand with the outer peripheral surface of the carrier 1 and the there provided Filêtn electer 2.1 to 2.6.
  • the circumferential speeds of circular arc 3 and carrier 1 are identical when dividing bristle filaments, ie when transferring a certain number of bristle filaments from a selected filament container 2 into a selected opening 6.
  • the carriers 1 After filling the two openings 6a, 6b with filaments, the carriers 1 are moved back into their starting position in both exemplary embodiments (see directional arrow II). Both carriers 1 are then cyclically driven first in the direction of arrow I and then in the opposite direction of the arrow II movable.
  • one of the selected filament containers in the space 5 for the transfer of filaments to the corresponding Opening 6 are arranged.
  • the mixing ratio can be controlled solely over the time over which the respective filament containers 2 are located in the free space 5 and can communicate with the respective opening 6.
