Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of paint brushes and methods for manufacturing paint brushes.
  • Paint brushes are used to apply paint, varnish, stains and other liquid coatings to surfaces.
  • Conventional paint brushes typically include a handle, a group of bristles and a ferrule securing the group of bristles to the handle.
  • the handle typically includes an elongate narrow diameter gripping portion or shank which widens at a shoulder to form a head.
  • the handle is typically formed from either wood or a rigid plastic.
  • Brush handles formed from rigid plastic are typically injection molded.
  • injection molding involves filling a cavity that is in the shape of the brush handle with a liquid plastic which is then allowed to solidify before the mold is separated from the finished handle.
  • a mold core is positioned inside the mold such that the injected plastic flows within the mold about the core. After the plastic has solidified, the core is removed and the mold is separated to leave a handle having a hollow interior. The resulting cored-out handle has an open axial end.
  • the group of bristles typically comprises a plurality of individual brush filaments formed from hair or artificial fibers such as nylon.
  • the filaments are generally interleaved with one or more wedges or spacers.
  • the filaments as well as the spacers are secured to one another and are secured to the ferrule by an epoxy.
  • the ferrule typically comprises a thin band of metal partially overlapping the group of bristles and the head of the brush handle, while securing the bristles to the handle.
  • the ferrule is secured to the group of bristles by the aforementioned epoxy and is secured to the head of the brush handle by staples, rivets or other fasteners extending through the ferrule and into the head or by adhesives between the ferrule and the head.
  • Manufacture of such conventional brushes is generally as follows. First, the brush handle is formed as described above. Second, the brush filaments are bunched together and are pulled through the ring formed by the ferrule. Third, the spacers are inserted between the bristle filaments and then the spacers and adjacent bristle filaments are pulled into the ferrule whereby the spacers wedge the axial end of the filaments against the ferrule. Fourth, a relatively thin layer of liquid epoxy is deposited into the ferrule, bonding the bristle filaments and the spacers to the ferrule. Lastly, the ferrule is secured to the head of the brush handle as described above.
  • An exemplary embodiment relates to an adjustable ferrule for a paint brush.
  • the adjustable ferrule includes a rigid elongate body portion having a bristle end for attachment to a plurality of bristes and a handle end extending along an axis for coupling with a paint brush handle.
  • the adjustable ferrule also includes at least one separation line in the rigid elongate body portion substantially perpendicular to the axis of the handle end, wherein the separation line divides the rigid elongate body portion into a first body portion and a second body portion.
  • the ferrule/bristle subassembly includes a rigid elongate body portion having a bristle end for attachment to a plurality of bristles, a handle end extending along an axis for coupling with a paint brush handle, and a plurality of bristles connected to the bristle end.
  • the ferrule/bristle subassembly also includes at least one separation line in the rigid elongate body portion substantially perpendicular to the axis of the handle end, wherein the separation line divides the rigid elongate body into a first portion and a second portion.
  • Another exemplary embodiment relates to a method for producing a paint brush using an adjustable ferrule.
  • the method includes connecting a plurality of bristles to a ferrule, breaking the ferrule along at least one separation line in the ferrule, and connecting the ferrule to a handle.
  • Another exemplary embodiment relates to a paint brush produced by a component adjustment assembly process.
  • the process includes attaching a plurality of bristles to a rigid elongate ferrule, breaking at least one of the rigid elongate ferrule and a paint brush handle along at least one separation line in the rigid elongate ferrule and the paint brush handle, and forming a mechanical interlock between the rigid elongate ferrule and the paint brush handle.
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a paint brush assembly.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the paint brush assembly illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the paint brush assembly illustrated in FIG. 1 as seen along line 3-3.
  • FIG. 4 is an alternative embodiment of the paint brush handle illustrated in FIG. 1 shown in open position.
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded top view of a set of paint brushes similar to that illustrated in FIG. 1, showing a size adjustable ferrule.
  • FIG. 5A is a top sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the size adjustable ferrule illustrated in FIG. 5 extending between line 4-4.
  • FIG. 5B is a top sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the size adjustable ferrule illustrated in FIG. 5 extending between line 4-4.
  • FIG. 5C is a top sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the size adjustable ferrule illustrated in FIG. 5 extending between line 4-4.
  • FIG. 6 is an exploded top view of a second alternative embodiment of the paint brush illustrated in FIG. 1, showing a stepped adjustable ferrule.
  • FIGURE 1 is a top elevational view of a paint brush 10, generally including handle 12, bristles 14 and ferrule 16.
  • Bristles 14 comprise a plurality of brush filaments 24 grouped together and interleaved by a plurality of wedges or spacers (not shown).
  • Filaments 24 comprise conventionally known paint brush filaments formed from natural material such as hair or man-made material such as nylon.
  • the spacers are formed from cardboard, felt or plastic.
  • Axial ends of filaments 24 are bound to one another and are bound to the spacers by a conventionally known epoxy (not shown). This epoxy further secures bristles 14 to ferrule 16.
  • Ferrule 16 secures bristles 14 to handle 12.
  • ferrule 16 comprises a rigid elongate body portion of metal or polymer having a bristle end 17 and a handle end 19. When the paint brush is assembled, the bristle end 17 is connected to the bristles 14 and the handle end 19 is connected to the handle 12.
  • FIGURE 2 shows a ferrule 16 in which the axis of the handle end 19 and the axis of the bristle end 17 are coaxial, other designs are possible.
  • the ferrule could be bent at a 45 degrae angle such that the handle end 19 has an axis that is coaxial with that of the handle 12 and the bristle end 17 has an axis 45 degrees away from the axis of the handle 12 and handle end 19.
  • Other arrangements are also possible.
  • Ferrule 16 may also have surface ribs 15 protruding from the surface of the ferrule 16 for engaging grooves or detents 13 (as best shown in FIGURE 3) in handle 12.
  • the ferrule 16 may be either hollow or solid, depending on the particular application.
  • the ribs 15 may protrude from the inner surface of a hollow ferrule 16 for engaging grooves 13 on the outer surface of a handle 12.
  • the ferrule 16 may be formed in any number of shapes, nonexclusive examples of which include rectangular, ovular, and circular.
  • Handle 12 generally includes gripping portion or shank 18 and head 20.
  • Shank 18 comprises an elongate narrow portion of handle 12 configured for being grasped by a user's hand.
  • Head 20 widens from shank 18 and forms a wide surface which provides a surface against which brush 10 may be grasped by a user during painting.
  • Handle 12 supports bristles 14 and ferrule 16.
  • FIGURE 2 is an exploded perspective view of paint brush 10, and FIGURE 3 is a side sectional view of paint brush 10 as viewed along line 3-3 in FIGURE 1.
  • Ferrule 16 includes at least one separation line or break line 21. Separation line 21 may be formed according to a variety of methods. The formation of the separation line 21 is discussed in greater detail in relation to FIGURE 5. Separation line 21 is illustrated as a perforation in ferrule 16 which divides ferrule 16 into first portion 22 and second portion 23. The perforation of separation line 21 preferably punches entirely through the ferrule material. Alternatively, the perforation may punch only partially through the ferrule material.
  • Separation line 21 facilitates separation of portion 22 and portion 23. Separation of portions 22 and 23 may be accomplished by breaking portion 22 off of the ferrule 16 along separation line 21, leaving only portion 23 of the ferrule. Breaking portion 22 off of the ferrule 16 is preferably accomplished by snapping portion 22 off of the ferrule 16. One possible method of snapping portion 22 off of the ferrule 16 may be accomplished by grasping portion 22 with one hand and portion 23 with another end flexing the ferrule 16 about the separation line 21 until portions 22 and 23 separate. Alternatively, ferrule 16 may be cut or sheared by a knife blade or other means along separation line 21. Any method of separating portions 22 and 23 along break line 21 should be noted by one skilled in the art as falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
  • Handle 12 comprises a mouth or opening 11 which receives ferrule 16.
  • ribs 15 on ferrule 16 engage or snap into grooves 13 along the inner surface of head 20.
  • a mechanical interlock is formed, securing ferrule 16 to head 20.
  • ferrule 16 is formed from a polymer or plastic such as polyethylene having a sufficient degree of resilient flexibility to allow ribs 15 and ferrule 16 to flex so as to be inserted through mouth 11 and into the cavity 52 until ribs 15. reach corresponding grooves 13.
  • head 20 may be formed from a material (e.g. polymer, metal, etc.) having sufficient resilient flexibility so as to flex as the ferrule 16 is inserted.
  • a material e.g. polymer, metal, etc.
  • ribs 15 preferably continuously extend along the outer circumferential surface of ferrule 16
  • ribs 15 may alternatively only partially extend along the outer circumferential surface of ferrule 16.
  • grooves 13 preferably continuously extend along the inner circumferential surface of head 20
  • ribs 15 engage grooves 13 when paint brush 10 is assembled, ribs 15 and grooves 13 need not have identical inverse patterns.
  • grooves 13 could continuously extend along the inner circumferential surface of head 20, while ribs 15 might extend only partially along the outer circumferential surface of ferrule 16.
  • ribs 15 would still engage grooves 13, although portions of the grooves 13 would not be engaged by ribs 15.
  • FIGURES 2 and 3 Although three ribs 15 and three grooves 13 are shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, a different number of ribs 15 and grooves 13 may be used. Further, there may be a different number of grooves 13 in head 20 than there are ribs 15 on a given ferrule 16. For example, in an alternative embodiment, a ferrule having three ribs 15 may be used with a head 20 having four or more grooves 13. Not all of the grooves 13 would receive a rib 15 in assembling paint brush 10, although all of the ribs 15 would engage a groove 13.
  • the shape and orientation of the ribs 15 and grooves 13 may also differ from those illustrated in the FIGURES.
  • the ribs 15 and grooves 13 need not be oriented perpendicular to the axis of the handle end 19, as illustrated by the FIGURES.
  • the ribs 15 and grooves 13 could be oriented parallel to the axis of the handle end 19.
  • the ribs 15 and grooves 13 consist of elongated protruding shapes.
  • the ribs 15 and grooves 13 could be circular in shape, such that the ribs 15 resemble raised dots and the grooves 13 resemble dimples.
  • Ribs 15 and grooves 13 of different shapes, sizes, and orientations may be intermixed in the same assembly as well.
  • a ferrule 16 could have one rib extending continuously along its outer circumferential surface, one circular rib, and one short elongate rib oriented 45 degrees away from the axis of the handle end.
  • FIGURE 4 shows a top elevational view of a clamshell handle design.
  • Handle 12 in this alternative embodiment is formed from a pair of opposing handle clamshell halves 32, 34.
  • Each clamshell half 32, 34 generally forms a shank half 36 and a head half 38.
  • Shank halves 36 and head halves 38 are complementarily shaped so as to mate with one another and form shank 18 and head 20 of paint brush 10 when assembled.
  • Each of halves 32, 34 is preferably injection molded from a rigid polymeric material such as polyethylene. Alternatively other polymeric materials may be used, such as polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, and the like.
  • each of halves 32, 34 is complementarily shaped with opposing male-female structures.
  • clamshell half 32 includes a plurality of female cavities 40 while clamshell half 34 includes a corresponding number of opposite male projections or protuberances 42.
  • Female cavities 40 receive male protuberances 42 to insure proper alignment of clamshell halves 32 and 34 when handle 12 is assembled.
  • Female cavities 40 and male protuberances 42 are preferably configured to resiliently flex when joined together such that clamshell halves 32 and 34 snap together and are retained in their assembled state.
  • each of female cavities 40 includes a narrowing throat (not shown) which resiliently flexes to receive an enlarged head of male protuberance 42.
  • clamshell halves 32, 34 may alternatively include other complementary male-female structures aligning halves 32 and 34 when assembled.
  • the perimeter edges of halves 32 and 34 may alternatively include complementary ribs and channels receiving such ribs.
  • the complementary male and female structures on halves 32 and 34 may be intermixed such that a single half contains both male and female structures.
  • clamshell halves 32, 34 may alternatively include structures which align with one another but which do not provide a snap-fit. Even further less desirable, halves 32, 34 may alternatively omit any such structures whereby other means are provided for securing halves 32 and 34 together such as adhesives, overmolds, welds or fusion bonds.
  • halves 32 and 34 each include a peripheral wall 50 that extends about the perimeter of each of halves 32, 34 about an interior cavity 52.
  • handle 12 is generally hollow through both shank 18 and head 20. Because handle 12 is hollow, handle 12 requires less material and is lighter in weight. At the same time, handle 12 may be quickly and easily manufactured through simple injection molding equipment not requiring moveable inserts or cores.
  • the peripheral wall 50 does not extend along the bristle end 54 of the handle 12, so as to leave an opening through which ferrule 16 may be inserted when the handle 12 is closed. Alternatively, halves 32, 34 may close about ferrule 16 during assembly.
  • the clamshell handle design also may include grooves 13 to receive ribs 15 protruding from ferrule 16 in the same manner as described above.
  • the rib 15 and groove 13 system may be used even where the assembly process involves closing the clamshell halves 32, 34 about the ferrule 16 instead of inserting the ferrule 16 though an opening 11 in the head 20.
  • ferrule 16 may be retained within cavities 52 of head 20 between halves 32, 34 by other means such as being press fit, by means of epoxy or other adhesives, by fusion bonds, or by welds.
  • handle 12 additionally includes a living hinge 56 integrally formed as part of the single unitary body with both halves 32 and 34.
  • Hinge 56 is preferably formed so as to span or bridge opposing side walls 50 of halves 32, 34 on head 20. Hinge 56 is preferably co-injected with halves 32 and 34. Hinge 56 facilitates assembly of halves 32 and 34 by providing and maintaining alignment of halves 32 and 34 at all times, As a result, once formed, halves 32 and 34 may be quickly and easily aligned and joined to one another by simply pivoting one of halves 32, 34 about hinge 56.
  • hinge 56 is preferably configured so as to extend into cavity 52 when halves 32 and 34 are assembled such that adjacent walls 50 remain substantially flush with one another to provide handle 12 a smooth outer surface for better gripping and for improved aesthetic appearance.
  • Hinge 56 may alternatively be configured such that hinge 56 remains upon an adjacent and exterior of wall 50, wherein hinge 56 is left intact or is severed once halves 32 and 34 are joined.
  • the handle illustrated in FIGURE 4 may be manufactured as two separate pieces without a living hinge 56.
  • FIGURE 5 is an exploded top view of a set of paint brushes 110, 150 similar to that illustrated in FIGURE 1, showing a size adjustable ferrule 122.
  • Paint brushes 110 and 150 include handles 113, 153 and ferrule/bristle subassemblies 115, 155, respectively.
  • Handles 113, 153, portions of which are shown in section for purposes of illustration, are substantially identical to one another and include shank portions 118, 158 and head portions 120, 160, respectively.
  • Shank portions 118, 158 are substantially identical to one another.
  • Head portion 120 has a general length L1 longer than the length L2 of head portion 160.
  • Ferrule-bristle subassemblies 115, 155 are identical to one another prior to assembly of paint brushes 110 and 150.
  • each of subassemblies 115, 155 includes bristle filaments 101 and spacers 102 (not shown) which are positioned within and secured to ferrule 122. Filaments 101 and spacers 102 may be secured to ferrule 122 by epoxy or other means.
  • Ferrule 122 receives bristles 101 and spacers 102 and is configured to be inserted into interior cavity 130 of head portion 120 of brush 110.
  • Ferrule 122 preferably includes outwardly protruding ribs 123 which correspond to grooves 125 formed on an inner surface of head portion 120 of brush 110.
  • Ribs 123 and grooves 125 may have various shapes, orientations, and configurations, as described above in relation to FIGURES 2 and 3. Additionally, and according to an alternative embodiment, ribs could protrude from the inner surface of head portion 120 and grooves could be formed in the outer surface of the ferrule 122.
  • Ferrule 122 also includes at least one separation line 134 preferably extending substantially perpendicular to the axis of the handle end 119 and between ribs 123.
  • Separation line 134 is illustrated as an internal groove which sufficiently penetrates the walls of ferrule 122 so as to allow ferrule 122 to be broken or sheared along separation line 134.
  • the groove creates an area in ferrule 122 where the ferrule material (e.g. metal, polymer) has thickness less. than the area adjacent to the groove so as to allow for easy breakage along the separation line 134.

  • ferrule 122 is illustrated as including a single separation line 134, ferrule 122 may be provided with a plurality of such separation lines enabling ferrule 122 and the bristles 101 it carries to be easily adapted and modified for use with a multitude of different brush handles having differently sized head portions to form a multitude of differently sized paint brushes. Separation line 134 enables differently sized brushes to be quickly and easily manufactured and assembled without requiring a specially sized ferrule for each differently sized brush handle.
  • FIGURE 5 illustrates an assembly process in which only the length is altered by breaking the ferrule 122 along separation line 134
  • alternative embodiments allow for altering the width of the ferrule portion which will be received by a paint brush head.
  • a ferrule 200 includes multiple grooves 201, 202 dividing ferrule 200 into ferrule sections 210, 211, and 212. The ferrule 200 is thus "stepped," such that section 212 is wider than section 211, which in turn is wider than section 210.
  • a different section 210, 211, or 212 would be suited for coupling of ferrule/bristle subassembly 230 and handle 220.

  • separation lines may be used to form a paint brush handle.
  • grooves, perforations, or other separation line systems as described above may be incorporated into a paint brush handle so as to allow portions of the head to be broken off to accommodate different ferrule/bristle subassemblies.
  • the length of the head portion of the handle could be decreased by removing a portion of the head along a pre-formed separation line.
  • the grooves in head portion 120 in FIGURE 5 could serve as separation lines in the handle 113 if they were designed to do so.
  • a head could be formed having a stepped structure as described with regard to the ferrule 200 in FIGURE 6, so as to allow a user to modify the length and width of the head in order to accommodate different ferrule/bristle subassemblies.
  • both the handle and ferrule may have separation lines.
  • a component adjustment assembly process could be used wherein during assembly the ferrule, handle, or both could be adjusted by breaking the ferrule, handle, or both along a separation line in the component of the paint brush assembly being adjusted.
  • a paint brush having a clamshell handle assembly as described above could include means for disengaging the clamshell halves so as to allow a user to remove a used ferrule/bristle subassembly and insert a new one. This would allow a user to purchase one handle and discard ferrule/bristle assemblies as the bristles become worn.
  • a paint brush assembly using a one-piece molded handle as described above could include means for allowing the removal of the ferrule/bristle subassembly from the handle.
