Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of brushes and a brush thus manufactured.
  • said brushes are provided with an identification label bearing a series of data able to define the technical and safety features of the specific product.
  • Such data may pertain to the possible uses of the brush and to parameters for the operator's safety; the data may be expressed in alphanumeric form and also comprise bar codes, in addition to the manufacturer's and/or the retailer's trademarks.
  • the brush must bear data about, for instance, the manufacturer, brush model, the type of junction used its maximum number of rotations/minute, the safety norms to be followed, etcetera, and the bar codes may be used for inventory management or, for instance, to identify a retail price when the brushes are placed for sale.
  • the label may be a paper or plastic film support so as to be associated to the brush by means of adhesive substances after the brush itself has been manufactured, or replaced by markings.
  • the markings may be performed by means of pads on the brush itself or with a mark obtained by stencilling with a template the data directly onto the metal body of the brush, or through laser marking.
  • Adhesive labels may become detached from the brush to which they are applied, particularly during the operation of the brush which heats up considerably. Additionally, they may absorb dirt and be affected by processing residues, making the reported data unusable because they are illegible. Moreover, a supplementary attachment operation is required, raising the cost of the product.
  • the mechanical marking solution presents, as one of its drawbacks, the fact that, with the marking process, it is possible, by etching the surface of the metal sheet comprising the brush body, to define points which may present a predisposition to be attacked by rust or other corrosive agents.
  • Another drawback is due to the fact that, to perform the related operation, a generally expensive working process is required, since stamps previously obtained by electrical discharge machining must be set up.
  • the related reported data may turn out to be illegible once the components of the brush have been painted.
  • Pad marking presents disadvantages due to data legibility and pad wear. All the aforesaid markings also present the following disadvantages:
  • a brush comprising a holding loop for supporting a plurality of bristles, one inner cup and one outer cup between which is held the holding loop and a blocking element for fastening together the two cups.
  • Document EP-A-027675 shows an automized press for moulding grinding wheels and associating a label to the wheels.
  • the constraint between a wheel and a label is defined by a substantially "T" shaped blocking element which is provided with an external peripherical extension in proximity of one of its ends.
  • the label is placed between the wheel and the peripherical extension of the blocking element and is kept in contact with the wheel by means of the peripherical extension itself.
  • Document US-A-3805457 relates to a method of attaching labels on rotary abrasive disks. This method comprises placing grindstone material and a label in a mould cavity. The grindstone material and the label are compressed together to obtain a single disk.
  • US-A-5522164 shows a device comprising a label for a rotary brush fastened to one edge of a threaded rod. The opposite end of the rod is secured into a threaded opening provided in the brush-body.
  • the purpose of the present invention is thus to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks with a method for the realization of brushes, and the related brush, which allow optimally to support the data required to identify the brush and utilise it properly and to be able to use colours which enable to have a legible bar code.
  • the method consists of associating, during the assembly of the parts comprising the brush, and in an essentially irremovable manner, a tag on which are indelebly reported the data described above.
  • the invention relates to a method for the manufacture of brushes, according to claim 1, and the related brush according to claim 10.
  • the method for the manufacture of brushes is of the type including an assembly phase during which a brush body (which may comprise one or more element) and a filament-holder loop (or a similar element for supporting fibres) are subjected to the action of pressing means, so as to constitute the actual brush, in which the brush body is mechanically constrained to the filament-holder loop.
  • the present invention comprises the irreversible association in said assembly phase of a tag 2 bearing a series of indelible data identifying the brush and/or the operating procedures for the brush itself
  • such data may be the ones reported on the tag 2 shown in Figure 1.
  • the indelible data appearing on the tag 2 pertain to: safety norms 21, maximum rpm number 22, country where the product was manufactured 23, manufacturer's trademark 24, type of item 26, junction diameter 27, bar code 28.
  • bar code 28 it is possible to use the colours which can be read by means of electronic reading systems.
  • the brush body may comprise at least an outer cup 3 and an inner cup 4, between which is placed the filament-holder loop 5.
  • the assembly operation is performed by placing on a support element 7 (shown only schematically in Figure 1), stacked one on top of the other, the outer cup 3, the filament-holder loop 5 and the inner cup 4.
  • a presser 8 also shown only schematically in Figure 1 which moves to approach (towards F in the figure), so as to perform a rimming of a blocking element and so as to define the necessary mechanical constraint, which sets the brush in its definitive conformation.
  • the process may entail, similarly to what is shown in the Figures from 1 to 4 placing the tag 2, externally with respect to the outer cup 3, on the blocking element which, depending on the embodiments, may comprise differently shaped parts.
  • a possible example pertains to the manufacture of the cup brushes provided with a junction, as in the example shown in Figure 1; in this case, the blocking element comprises a junction 6, or a similar means for associating the brush with means to power it.
  • the junction 6 is rimmed inside the brush, in order to hold, thanks to the rimmed end 60 (see bottom right detail in Figure 1), the two cups 3, 4 and the filament-holder loop 5.
  • the association of the tag 2 to the brush 1 is accomplished by placing on the support element 7 the junction 6 and fitting on it, in succession from the bottom up, the tag 2 (which in this case will be annular shaped and resting on the inner plane surface 61), the outer cup 3, the filament-holder 5 and the inner cup 4. Pressure is then applied by the presser 8, which rims the end 60 of the junction 6 so as to accomplish the mechanical constraint, which keeps the brush together.
  • the tag 2 may be laminar with annular configuration, or its shape may be different but such as to be mechanically coupled to components of the brush.
  • aluminium may be used and the related supported data may be impressed by serigraphy or anodic oxidation.
  • Another embodiment of the tag may entail the use of a heat-resisting plastic material (or of a metal other than the aforementioned aluminium), due to the high temperatures the brushes may reach in use.
