Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing bristle goods with bristles made of plastic, which are extruded as monofilaments, cut to the desired length and attached individually or in groups as bristle trimmings to a bristle holder.
- the invention further relates to bristle articles produced by the method.
- Bristle goods such as toothbrushes, massage brushes, brushes, textile and carpet brushes, but also a large number of technical brushes, only fulfill their intended use over a certain period of use, which is almost exclusively determined by the wear of the bristles and, moreover, by the type of bristle product and the like desired work result depends.
- brushes that are used in the personal care area have a comparatively short useful life.
- This includes massage brushes, cosmetic brushes, but above all toothbrushes.
- the problem on which the invention is based is explained below using toothbrushes as an example.
- plastic bristles have been used almost exclusively for toothbrushes, which are cut to the desired length from extruded monofilaments.
- the short cuts obtained in this way are usually gathered into bundles and then attached to the toothbrush head.
- it is necessary to round off the ends on the usage side which is still mostly done today by grinding.
- the bristle has a cylindrical cross section that is the same over its length and is rounded at its end on the use side to form a dome-like tip.
- tapered ground bristles have been used again, in order to at least better penetrate the interdental spaces with at least individual bristles of the bristle trimming and also to be able to effectively clean fissures on the tooth surface.
- the bristle must have a rounded tip in order to avoid injuries to the gingiva or, as recent scientific studies have shown, to avoid brush lesions on the tooth. This applies particularly to sensitive gingiva or sensitive tooth necks, which are present in almost half of the consumers.
- bristles are already used in toothbrushes, which are extruded from plastic monofilaments, but are split into so-called flags at their ends on the use side. In the lower, non-split area of the bristle, the desired bendability of the bristle is used, while the flags enable a gentle cleaning of the tooth surfaces and interdental spaces and an equally gentle massage of the gingiva.
- bristles which consist of a core and a shell, which are usually obtained from different plastics by coextrusion.
- the core primarily fulfills the strength requirements, while the shell takes on the cleaning and maintenance function.
- the bristles wear out relatively quickly, which means that they lose the aforementioned properties.
- the wear starts in particular on the sheath of the bristle, so that cylindrical bristles are butted towards the bristle end and bristles with a conical end are sharpened after a period of use.
- the round tip wears out, usually still irregularly, so that the effects sought by the rounding are lost.
- the shell is first removed in the region of the bristle end and the core is exposed.
- the wear progresses even faster due to the thin cross sections of the flags. Since this causes the free length of the flags to decrease steadily, their stiffness increases to an undesirable extent and there is a risk that the massive bristle stub will cause injuries.
- This method also fails with modern bristle shapes, for example with a conically tapering bristle end, because either the jacket and thus the entire bristle would have to have a cross section which is too large, or else the core would have to be colored differently over its length, which is not technically possible by extrusion.
- This method also fails for bristles with flags or brushes in which the ends of the bristles on the use side lie in a non-flat envelope surface.
- the object of the invention is to provide the user of the bristleware with visual information about the current state of use and the degree of current wear regardless of the actual wear and tear when using the bristleware.
- the marking indicating the degree of wear or the need to replace the brush is subsequently attached, namely after extrusion, to the monofilament or to the cut bristle, in the form of a color-contrasting, linear delimitation, which indicates the condition of use and so that the distance representing the degree of wear is at the end of the bristle on the use side.
- This distance ie the position of the delimitation, can be determined according to essentially objective criteria by subjecting the finished bristle goods to an endurance test and determining the type and extent of wear individual bristles is examined macroscopically.
- the bristle length can be determined at which the wear and tear show signs of deterioration for the intended function of the brush. Accordingly, the delimitation is then attached to the monofilament or the bristle.
- bristles of any shape such as single-core monofilaments, multi-core monofilaments, co-extruded monofilaments, bristles with flags or tapered bristle ends
- a consumption indicator which is more clearly perceptible to the consumer and does not depend on the wear and tear.
- On the finished bristle product only a few bristles or only a few bristles within several bundles need to be provided with the color-contrasting marking in order to signal the degree of wear. These bristles or bundles will be provided in particular in the areas of the brush where the wear progresses fastest due to endurance tests. Furthermore, only those bristles will be used for attaching the delimitation that are outside in the bristle trim, which has the advantage that the marking or delimitation can be attached to the finished brush subsequently.
- This method is particularly suitable for those bristle products in which not the wear in the micro range already leads to the unsuitability of the bristles, but in particular in those bristle products in which the functionality with increasing shortening of the Bristle suffers only from qualitative losses, for example the bristles become stiffer by shortening the length and the brush thus becomes harder, or the capacity of the bristle stock for application media decreases due to shortened capillaries between the bristles. In the case of such bristle goods, it is largely up to the user to determine the point in time or the state of wear at which the brush no longer meets his individual requirements.
- the line-shaped boundaries can be formed by the boundary lines of strip-shaped markings and a plurality of strip-shaped markings of different widths can be applied to indicate different usage conditions.
- the delimitation on the monofilament can be produced after extrusion, that is to say, for example, at a distance following the later bristle length.
- the delimitation can also be applied to the finished bristle after cutting, but preferably the delimitation is only produced on the outer bristles of the bristle stock before or after it is attached to the bristle holder.
- the bristle trimmings in the final configuration of the bristles or bundles are fixed in a holder (for example EP 0 346 646) and transferred to the brush production machine with the holder.
- This is preferably an injection molding machine in which the bristle stock is overmolded with the plastic of the bristle carrier at the fastening-side ends of the bristles.
- the delimitation can be made very easily on the one hand, and on the other hand very precisely according to the results obtained from long-term tests. If necessary, it can also be delimited locally, and because of the narrow bristles, it is generally not important that each outer bristle has one Marking is important because the marking on several bristles over the entire extent of the bristle trimmings appears as a line or stripe-shaped boundary. This applies in particular to boundaries which are created in the form of dots or strips or as part of a circumferential line on the bristles.
- the tooth bristles of toothbrushes are often contoured in order to adapt the brushing surface to the contours of the teeth, teeth or even the mouth.
- the ends of the bristles on the use side therefore lie in an envelope surface deviating from the plane.
- the delimitation is applied in a position, preferably parallel, corresponding to this envelope surface.
- the delimitation can also be generated by the boundary line of zones of different colors in the longitudinal direction of the bristles, which in turn can be obtained by post-treatment with physical methods.
- the demarcation is generated on the core, the shell or both, in order to indicate different conditions of use or degrees of wear.
- the core can be provided with a delimitation which is at a smaller distance from the end on the use side than a marking made on the casing.
- the shell can also consist of a transparent plastic and the core can be provided with a translucent border. The demarcation is during the
- the monofilament used to produce the bristles is extruded from a plastic filled with pigments which react to laser beams with a color change, the delimitation being produced by the action of laser beams on the monofilament or the bristles produced therefrom.
- Laser technology is particularly suitable in the context of the method according to the invention, since the marking is generated not only on the surface but also in the depth of the monofilament or the bristles. Furthermore, with the marking with the parallel beam laser light can be precisely delimited and precisely localized. The depth of the marking can also be influenced by the parameters of the laser. It is also possible to use a pigmented monofilament for only one wire in two-wire or multi-wire bristles, so that only this is marked. In the case of a monofilament consisting of core and shell, only the core or only the shell can be filled with pigments in order to selectively apply the marking to the shell or to the core. If both are filled with pigments, markings can be made on the shell and on the core to indicate different usage conditions.
- Laser technology has the particular advantage that the uneven side surface of the bristle stock, which is formed from a large number of bristles standing next to one another and thus presents itself as an irregularly corrugated envelope surface of the outer bristle sheaths, can nevertheless be provided with an optically closed marking.
- Laser technology also gives the option of placing an explanatory label below the delimitation in the same way as the delimitation, which clearly shows the user the state of use.
- the ink-jet method can also be used to apply the delimitation, in which the color applied into the micropores of the surface of the Bristle penetrates.
- Other methods with a similarly precise application of paint can also be provided.
- the monofilament is extruded with a thin ink-bearing cover layer and the delimitation is created by removing the cover layer. This removal can in turn be done by laser beams.
- the invention further relates to bristle articles manufactured according to the aforementioned methods, which are characterized in that at least some of the bristles located in the bristle facing have a color-contrasting, essentially linear demarcation at a distance that represents the state of use from the ends of the bristle on the use side.
- Embodiments of such bristleware are characterized in claims 22 to 36.

- FIG. 9 shows an enlarged longitudinal section of a two-component bristle from the bristle stocking according to FIG. 8 in the unused state
- FIG. 11 shows a schematic side view of a further embodiment of a brush in the unused state
- FIG. 12 shows a longitudinal section of an unused bristle from the bristle stocking according to FIG. 11;
- FIG. 13 shows the bristle according to FIG. 12 after a long period of use
- Fig. 14 is a schematic side view of a another variant of a brush when not in use
- FIG. 15 shows an enlarged view of a bristle from the bristle stocking according to FIG. 14 in the unused state
- FIG. 16 shows the bristle according to FIG. 15 after a long period of use
- FIG. 17 shows a schematic side view of a further embodiment of a brush in the unused state
- Fig. 19 is a side view of a bristle in another variant.
- the brush according to Fig. 1 consists of a carrier 1, e.g. made of plastic, to which a bristle stocking 2 is fastened, which in the exemplary embodiment shown consists of a plurality of bristle bundles, which is indicated in the drawing by simple dashed lines, each bundle having a plurality of bristles 3, one of which is shown by way of example in FIGS. 2 and 3 is shown.
- the ends 4 of the bristles on the use side lie on an enveloping surface 5 which deviates from the plane. In the specific case, it has a flat section 6 and a curved section 7. This can be the head of a toothbrush, for example.
- the bristle 3 has, in the unused state, a dome 8 rounded at its end 4 on the use side.
- a line-shaped delimitation 9 is attached to the bristles located outside of the facing 2, which is used for the condition of use of the bristle is representative.
- This delimitation 9 can be generated, for example, by means of a laser beam.
- the bristles 3 or the extruded monofilament from which they are made by cutting can be filled with pigments that absorb laser beams.
- the delimitation 9 is clearly recognizable as a marking line.
- This marking line 9 which is attached to the outside of the outer bristles, appears as an essentially closed marking line 10 on the entire bristle stock, even if it consists of individual bundles.
- the outer bristles of the bristle trim 2 are subjected to the greatest stress. Wear begins on them in such a way that the plastic is first removed from the jacket of the bristle 3, so that its end 4 on the use side is gradually butted to a more or less regular cone 11. The dome-like tip 8 is lost and the bristle becomes correspondingly more aggressive. With this wear, the mark 9 is finally reached and disappears when the brush is used again, as can be seen in FIG. 3. The degree of wear at which the toothbrush should be discarded can be determined by the distance of the boundary 9 from the dome-like crest 8. This is recommended when the marking delimitation 9 has disappeared on only a few bundles.
- the depth of the delimitation 9 that can be controlled by the laser parameters can also be used to display the degree of wear.
- the definition of the delimitation 9 is preferably carried out in long-term tests of the brush with a macroscopic examination of the Signs of wear on the individual bristles.
- the marking line 10 can be formed in the enveloping surface 6 shown in FIG. 1 parallel to the enveloping surface 5 of the ends on the usage side or, in the case of uneven wear in different areas, also in a different line.
- the bristle holder 2 attached to the bristle carrier 1 consists of bristles combined into bundles 12 (indicated by parallel lines) and, if necessary, thicker individual bristles 13, the surface 14 (FIG. 5) of which is structured, for example, for an abrasive effect to create.
- the brush according to FIG. 4 or the abrasive bristles 13 only fulfill their function as long as the structured outer surface 14 is effective.
- two line-shaped delimitations 15, 16 are attached to the outer individual bristles 13 at different distances from the end 17 of the bristles which is rounded in turn and is in use.
- the first delimitation 15 serves as a warning, as it were, while the delimitation 16 represents a degree of wear at which the brush should be discarded.
- This state is shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
- FIG. 7 shows that by removing the plastic on the jacket of the bristle 13, the end on the use side in turn wears to a conical end 17, on which the structured surface 14 (FIG. 5) has disappeared. If the first warning marking 15 has disappeared with increasing wear and only the wider marking 16 can be seen, the brush should be replaced.
- the marking boundaries 15, 16 are attached to the outer jacket of the outer bristles of the bristle set 2 by laser beams.
- the bristles 13 can in turn be filled with a suitable pigment.
- Bristle trimmings 2 again from bundles indicated by lines.
- Marking boundaries 18, which appear optically as a broken line, are in turn attached to the outer bristles of at least some bundles.
- Each individual bristle 19 of the bristle stock 2 consists of a core 20 and a sheath 21, which consist, for example, of different polymers or of the same polymers, of which the polymer forming the sheath 21 is filled with pigments.
- a delimitation 22 preferably by laser.
- the delimitation 22 of adjacent bristles in a bundle results in a section of the broken line 18.
- this bristle 19 is also ground conically, that is to say first the casing 21 and then also the core 20 are removed.
- the delimitation 22 here again indicates the degree of wear, upon reaching which the brush should be discarded. With this degree of wear, the marking delimitation 22 gradually disappears.
- the bristle trimmings again consist of bundles, the outer bristles of which have two marking boundaries 23, 24 of possibly different thicknesses.
- the bristle stock 2 consists of abrasive bristles 25, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. They in turn also consist of a core 26 and a shell 27 forming the jacket. They are also rounded at their ends on the use side.
- the plastic forming the shell 27 is filled with abrasive particles.
- the marking delimitation 23 is only applied to the casing 27, while the marking delimitation 24 is provided both on the casing 27 and on the core 26. This is achieved, for example, with appropriately pigmented plastics by adjusting the penetration depth of the laser beams.
- the abrasive sheath 27 is first removed, the upper delimitation 23 gradually disappearing.
- the user places on the brush he will discard the brush in this state of use.
- the brush can be used until the boundary 24 is reached or disappears. At this point, wear has progressed to such an extent that damage can be done to the object treated with the brush.
- FIG. 14 shows an embodiment in which the bristle trim 2 consists of flagged bristles 28, these have a solid bristle shaft 29 which is split into individual flags 30 at the end on the use side.
- These flags 30 ensure gentle handling during the brushing process. On the other hand, they are less wear-resistant due to their smaller cross-section. In order to ensure gentle treatment, the brush must be replaced with relatively little wear on the flags 30. It is therefore attached to the flags 30 of the bristles in the outer bristles 2 in the form of line-shaped boundaries 31, for example by lasers, which ensure that the flags 30 are still present over part of the length (FIG. 16) when the user passes through the marking boundary 31 when the useful life is reached is displayed.
- Bristle trimmings 2 in addition to marking, line-shaped boundaries 32 a label that indicates the state of use.
- the word “sensitive” stands for a gentle, soft effect of the bristles, which is no longer present when delimitation 32 with the inscription "stop” has been reached.
- the user who also accepts a somewhat harder effect of the bristles, is identified by the second marking delimitation 33 Inscription "hard” made aware of this fact.
- a strip-shaped marking 37 is applied to the jacket thereof, the upper end 38 of which is marked
- This upper end 38 of the marking 37 forms a linear delimitation in the entire bristle trim.
- the degree of wear is indicated to the user by the fact that the outer bristles have a light color at their ends on the use side.
- the entire bristle trim appears dark, which indicates to the user that the brush must be replaced.
