Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing multilayer bristle material consisting primarily of a the bendability of the core determining the bristle, a covering that primarily determines the brushing effect an endless material and an intermediate layer by the Core made by extrusion, with the intermediate layer from a liquid to viscous phase and then the continuous material on the intermediate layer under partial Embed is applied in the same.
- the invention relates to lot material, as for Manufacture of brushes for cleaning, polishing, or Applying media, for brushes, interdental cleaners or Like. Is used.
- the effect of a bristle or consisting of several bristles and / or bundles of bristles Bristle trim depends on the one hand on the choice of material, on the other hand the constructive structure of the bristle and in particular from their surface.
- the ends play the bristles essentially only when cleaning or when Penetration into crevices, cavities etc. matter the majority of the effective part of the bristle through the bristle shaft is formed, which turns over when pressure is applied and a more or less wiping to scraping or even roughening effect. It therefore comes for them desired effect decisive on the surface structure of the bristle shaft.
- bristles and interdental cleaners are known (DE 37 17 475, US 3,698,405), in which on a load-bearing Monofil core applied an adhesion-promoting layer and fibers are then flocked onto the damp layer become.
- the fibers are said to be substantially perpendicular to Surface.
- Such bristles could be new Generate effects and especially for absorption of order funds are used, however Short fibers too bad a hold on the monofilament surface, so that they loosen and fail over time. This not only leads to a reduction in the desired effect, but are the precipitating fibers on the treatment Surface highly undesirable.
- Such bristles in the hygiene area for example in the mouth and Dental care used, unusual fibers lead to pronounced Inconveniences.
- Bristles for toothbrushes are also known (JP 10 286 122 A), which consists of a nylon core as a monofilament and a on the circumference of which stiffening wire is applied, which either runs along a generatrix of the core or wound helically on the core.
- the Wire can also be made of nylon. The wire should stiffen the bristle, improve its resilience and extend the lifespan. About the type of fixation of the this says helically wound nylon wire State of the art nothing.
- bristle for Brush rollers are known (JP 6 321 680 A), a core from a multifilament made of nylon fibers and blended Abrasive particles in one or two layers with a monofilament To wrap polyamide fiber and then the winding to fix with an adhesive.
- the brushing effect of the bristle is not insignificant from that of the fixing Adhesive affected because he applied later is.
- a bond between the multiple core and the wound There is no monofilament. It is therefore the monofilament with adjacent turns wrapped around a Avoid slipping towards the core.
- the invention has for its object a method for Propose production of bristle material from which Bristles with a specific effect of the bristle shaft can be generated. Furthermore, with the invention a corresponding bristle can be created.
- the adhesion-promoting intermediate layer with the core material which can consist of monofilament or multifilament, co-extruded and the intermediate layer first into one state in which the continuous material is transferred to the intermediate layer applied and on the occasion of the application the prestress at least partially into the intermediate layer is stored.
- the preload is sufficient to achieve this Endless material to be stored in the intermediate layer and immovable to keep.
- the intermediate layer consists of a material that can be reactivated after processing is.
- the continuous material is on the dry, possibly also no longer deformable Intermediate layer applied.
- the intermediate layer is reactivated and then incorporating the continuous material into yours solid phase returned.
- the Intermediate layer can also have an adhesive effect, for example consist of a hot melt adhesive, so that the continuous material is connected to the core by gluing.
- an intermediate layer from one apply foamable material and the intermediate layer to foam after the application of the continuous material that the intermediate layer at least partially the continuous material surrounds and the continuous material in this way in the Intermediate layer is stored. It can also be a deeper one Storage should be provided if the intermediate layer consists of a soft foam, which corresponds to the pressure yields and thereby exposes the continuous material becomes.
- a film is applied at a given strong Profiling through the continuous material a smoothing of the Profile.
- a mechanical one Editing can consist of at least the continuous material on partial lengths of the bristle material in the longitudinal direction is cut open so that free fiber ends with appropriate Cleaning, polishing or the like. arise.
- a textile material is preferably used as the continuous material applied that a smooth or roughened surface can have. This is the first time a combination of Plastic monofilaments with a textile material on the outside given that there is sufficient adhesion to the intermediate layer having.
- the textile material can be wound up or be chained up.
- an absorbent textile material for example a roughened yarn or the like are used diverse care and cleaning options, however also the introduction of liquid to fine powdery media, which are returned when used.
- the continuous material can also be made of a metallic Fine wire or made of a plastic monofilament with abrasive Properties exist.
- the invention further relates to a multilayer bristle, which primarily determine the bending ability Kern, a covering that primarily determines the brushing effect from a continuous material and an intermediate layer for Mediation exists.
- a bristle stands out according to the invention in that the core and the intermediate layer are co-extruded and the coiled or chained Endless material at least partially in the plastically deformed intermediate layer is stored under tension.
- the intermediate layer preferably consists of a softer one Material as the core, which consists of a monofilament or multifilament can exist.
- the intermediate layer can in particular consist of a rubber-elastic material, which is a storage of the continuous material solely by prestressing it allows when winding. The same applies to an intermediate layer made of a foamed material.
- the bristle designed according to the invention can be used for a variety of purposes Uses, e.g. for the bristle trim of bristles or brushes. She can do it alone serve as an interdental cleaner. Finally she lets up advantageously for devices, especially brushes or use a brush to apply liquid or powdery media that are then used in the textile material are stored.
- the bristle material has 1 the flexibility of the finished bristle in the essential determining core 2 from a single or several plastic monofilaments.
- On the core 2 is one Intermediate layer 3 applied, which preferably consists of a softer material.
- On the intermediate layer again is a continuous material 4, e.g. from a natural or synthetic textile material applied, at least on its side facing the intermediate layer in this is stored so that the continuous material 4 on the Intermediate layer 3 is fixed. Of course it can too several continuous fibers wound in parallel or crosswise his.
- Fig. 3 shows the bristle material 1 again a core and an intermediate layer on which the continuous material 4 is not only wound, but is also linked at the same time.
- 1 and 2 is the continuous material in the bristle material by appropriate preload in the intermediate layer be stored.
- the intermediate layer also consist of a material that by an activation process, e.g. by exposure to heat, undergoes a change in state, causing the storage of the continuous material takes place or is supported.
- the core can be any, adapted to the application Have cross-sectional shape.
- An embodiment is shown in Figure 4.
- the bristle material 1 has one approximately rhombic core 5, on which the intermediate layer 6 is applied, which at the same time the covex spaces of core 5 fills.
- the continuous material is then on this intermediate layer angry, e.g. wound up or chained up.
- Fig. 4 points out the profiling of the core 5 preferred bending directions on. Due to the convex filled with the intermediate layer Areas, the wear behavior can be influenced.
- the one sought by the continuous material Effect of the bristle shaft on the circumference of the bristle varies brought to bear.
