Abstract

The method for fixing tufts of bristles (14) into a thermoplastic carrier which forms part of the body of the brush comprises applying a heated pressing component (16). This has conical or pyramidal projections (18) which fit between the tufts. These melt the plastic and push it sideways to seal the tufts in position. An Independent claim is included for a device for carrying out the process.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Befestigen von Borstenbüscheln für Bürsten an Trägern aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, die in Bürstenkörper eingebaut werden.The invention relates to a method for fastening bristle tufts for brushes on supports made of thermoplastic, the be installed in the brush body.

Zur Herstellung von Bürsten können Bürstenkörper mit einem Lochfeld bereitgestellt werden, das dem gewünschten Borstenfeld entspricht. Die Borstenbündel werden dann in die Löcher des Bürstenkörpers eingesetzt und darin verankert. Die Verankerung der Borstenbüschel im Bürstenkörper mittels Ankerplättchen oder Schlingen erfordert aber sehr leistungsfähige und daher aufwendige Maschinen.To make brushes, brush bodies with a Hole field are provided, the desired bristle field corresponds. The bundles of bristles are then in the holes of the Brush body inserted and anchored in it. Anchoring the Bristle tufts in the brush body using anchor plates or loops but requires very powerful and therefore complex machines.

Nach einem alternativen Bürstenherstellungsverfahren werden die Borstenbüschel an einem Träger befestigt, der dann in einen Bürstenkörper eingebaut wird, beispielsweise beim Spritzgießen eingeformt wird. Der im allgemeinen plättchenförmige Träger wird mit Löchern entsprechend dem gewünschten Lochbild versehen. Die Borstenbüschel werden in die Löcher eingesetzt, wobei auf einer Fläche des Trägers die nutzungsseitigen Enden der Borstenbüschel und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite die in der Bürste zu verankernden axialen Enden der Borstenbüschel geringfügig herausragen. Diese in dem Bürstenkörper zu verankernden Enden der Borstenbüschel werden dann erhitzt, miteinander verschmolzen und zu einer Verdickung umgeformt. According to an alternative brush manufacturing process, the Tufts of bristles attached to a carrier, which is then in a brush body is installed, for example molded during injection molding becomes. The generally platelet-shaped carrier becomes with holes according to the desired hole pattern. The tufts of bristles are inserted into the holes, being on one surface of the support the usage-side ends of the bristle tufts and on the opposite Side the axial ends of the to be anchored in the brush The bristle tufts protrude slightly. This in the brush body too Anchoring ends of the tufts of bristles are then heated together fused and formed into a thickening.

Um einen ausreichenden axialen Halt der Borstenbüschel in den Trägern zu gewährleisten, ist in der DE 197 38 256 C2 vorgeschlagen worden, die plättchenartigen Träger mit pilzartigen Vorsprüngen zu versehen, die von dem geschmolzenen Material der Borsten untergriffen werden, so daß ein Formschluß zwischen den pilzartigen Vorsprüngen und der plastisch verformten Masse der Borstenbüschel entsteht. Dieses Verfahren erfordert jedoch einen erheblichen Aufwand zur Bereitstellung der plättchenförmigen Träger mit einer Vielzahl von pilzartigen Vorsprüngen.To ensure a sufficient axial hold of the bristle tufts in the To ensure carriers is proposed in DE 197 38 256 C2 been the plate-like carriers with mushroom-like projections provided, which was gripped by the molten material of the bristles be so that a positive connection between the mushroom-like projections and the plastically deformed mass of the bristle tufts is created. This However, the process requires considerable effort in terms of provision the platy carrier with a variety of mushroom-like Protrusions.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein Verfahren zum Befestigen von Borstenbüscheln für Bürsten an Trägern aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff geschaffen, durch das mit einfachsten Verfahrensschritten eine sichere Verankerung der Borstenenden in den Trägern gewährleistet wird. Gemäß der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß ein erhitzter Stempel mit Vorsprüngen zwischen den Löchern in die Masse der Träger eindringt und diese erweicht sowie seitlich bis in die Zwischenräume der Borstenbüschel verdrängt. Bei diesem Vorgang wird zunächst das Material der Träger erweicht und verformt, so daß es die Enden der Borstenbüschel eng umschließt und durch Eindringen in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Borsten einen engen Formschluß herstellt. Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens wird dann der Stempel mit seiner zwischen den Vorsprüngen gelegenen Fläche an den axialen Enden der Borstenbüschel angedrückt, wobei die verdrängte Masse der Borsten über die verformte Masse des Trägers greift. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein inniger Verbund zwischen den Trägern und den Borstenbüscheln. Die Vorsprünge umgreifen dabei die axialen Enden der Borstenbüschel und geben der verschmolzenen Kunststoffmasse eine genau vorgegebene Form. Während dieses Vorgangs werden die Borstenbüschel vorzugsweise axial gehalten oder abgestützt, so daß sie in den Löchern des Trägers nicht axial verschoben werden.The invention provides a method for fastening tufts of bristles for brushes on supports made of thermoplastic created a safe with the simplest procedural steps Anchoring the bristle ends in the carriers is guaranteed. According to the invention proposes that a heated stamp with Protrusions between the holes penetrate into the mass of the carrier and this softens and laterally into the spaces between the bristle tufts repressed. In this process, the material of the Carrier softens and deforms so that it ends the bristle tufts tightly and by penetrating the gaps between the Bristles creates a tight fit. In the preferred embodiment The procedure will then use the stamp with its in between the projections at the axial ends of the bristle tufts pressed, the displaced mass of the bristles over the deformed mass of the carrier engages. This creates a intimate bond between the straps and the bristle tufts. The Projections encompass the axial ends of the bristle tufts and give the fused plastic mass a precisely specified shape. During this process, the tufts of bristles preferably become axial held or supported so that they are not in the holes of the wearer be moved axially.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist auch eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens, die durch einen beheizbaren Stempel mit einer Angriffsfläche gekennzeichnet ist, die eine Vielzahl von Vorsprüngen in Zuordnung zu den Löchern des Borstenfeldes aufweist. The invention also relates to a device for carrying it out of the process, which is heated by a heatable stamp Attack surface is characterized by a variety of protrusions in association with the holes of the bristle field.

Der in Figur 1 gezeigte plättchenförmige Träger 10 besteht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff und ist mit einer Vielzahl von durchgehenden Löchern 12 versehen, deren Anordnung einem gewünschten Lochbild bzw. Borstenfeld der Bürste entspricht. In die Löcher 12 werden, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, Borstenbüschel 14 eingesetzt, so daß sie mit den nutzungsseitigen Enden 14a auf der einen Hauptfläche des Trägers 10 herausragen und auf der gegenüberliegenden Fläche mit den in der Bürste zu verankernden Enden 14b geringfügig herausragen. Ein beheizbarer Stempel 16 mit einer Vielzahl von ringförmigen Vorsprüngen 18 wird in Gegenüberlage zu den Enden 14b der Borstenbüschel 14 gebracht, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt. Der Stempel 16 wird dann, wie durch einen Pfeil in Figur 2 angedeutet, gegen die Enden 14b der Borstenbüschel 14 bewegt, wobei die Vorsprünge 18 zunächst zwischen den Löchern 12 bzw. den darin eingesetzten Borstenbüscheln 14 in das Material des Trägers 10 eindringen. Bei diesem Vorgang wird das Material des Trägers 10 erweicht und zugleich gegen die Borstenbüschel 14 verdrängt, wobei es auch in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Borsten eindringt, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt. Das Material des Trägers 10 bewegt sich auch radial und umschließt die axialen Enden 14b der Borstenbüschel 14. Das Material der erweichten Borsten wird ebenfalls auch radial verdrängt und greift über die geformten Erhebungen des Trägers, die zwischen den eingedrungenen Vorsprüngen 18 des Stempels 16 entstehen, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Man sieht dort den engen Verbund zwischen Träger 10 und den verformten Enden 14b der Borstenbüschel 14. Wie weiter in Figur 4 ersichtlich ist, sind die Enden 14b der Borstenbüschel mit dem sie umgebenden und zwischen ihnen eingedrungenen Material des Trägers 10 zu plateauartigen Vorsprüngen umgeformt. Der Träger 10 mit den darin verankerten Borstenbüscheln 14 kann so in einen Bürstenkörper eingebaut werden, beispielsweise durch Einlegen in eine Spritzgußform und Umspritzen mit Kunststoffmasse. Alternativ werden die Träger mechanisch an einem Bürstenkörper befestigt, oder sie werden mit dem Bürstenkörper verschweißt, z.B. durch Ultraschall.The platelet-shaped carrier 10 shown in FIG. 1 consists of thermoplastic and comes with a variety of through holes 12 provided, the arrangement of a desired Hole pattern or bristle field of the brush corresponds. In the holes 12 are used, as shown in Figure 2, tufts of bristles 14, so that it with the use-side ends 14a on one main surface of the Stand out carrier 10 and on the opposite surface with the The ends 14b to be anchored in the brush protrude slightly. On heatable stamp 16 with a plurality of annular projections 18 is in opposition to the ends 14b of the bristle tuft 14 brought, as shown in Figure 2. The stamp 16 will then, as by an arrow indicated in Figure 2, against the ends 14b of the Bristle tufts 14 moves, the projections 18 initially between the holes 12 or the bristle tufts 14 inserted therein into the Penetrate material of the carrier 10. In this process it will Material of the carrier 10 softens and at the same time against the tufts of bristles 14 displaced, it also in the spaces between the bristles penetrates, as shown in Figure 3. The material of the carrier 10 also moves radially and encloses the axial ends 14b of the Bristle tufts 14. The material of the softened bristles also becomes also displaced radially and reaches over the shaped elevations of the Carrier between the penetrated projections 18 of the stamp 16 arise, as shown in Fig. 4. You can see the narrow one there Connection between the carrier 10 and the deformed ends 14b of the Bristle tufts 14. As can further be seen in FIG. 4, the Ends 14b of the tufts of bristles with that surrounding them and between them penetrated material of the carrier 10 to plateau-like projections reshaped. The carrier 10 with the bristle tufts 14 anchored therein can be installed in a brush body, for example by Inserting into an injection mold and overmolding with plastic compound. Alternatively, the carriers are mechanically attached to a brush body attached, or they are welded to the brush body, e.g. by ultrasound.

Figur 5 zeigt stark vergrößert einen Bereich des Stempels 16, bei dem die Vorsprünge 18 pyramidenförmig und kranzförmig in bezug auf die entsprechenden, gestrichelt angedeuteten Löcher 12 des Trägers 10 angeordnet sind. Die Spitzen der Vorsprünge 18 sind abgeflacht.Figure 5 shows a greatly enlarged area of the stamp 16, at which the projections 18 pyramid-shaped and ring-shaped with respect to the corresponding holes 12 of the carrier 10, indicated by dashed lines are arranged.
