Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing Brushes, especially toothbrushes, starting with one Wrapping, packaging, tying or the like enclosed bristle bundles with a bristle magazine Bristle supply supplied, wrapping, packaging, strapping or the like and then the bristles transported in particular to a bristle compartment disc and be taken over by this.
  • the above-mentioned method is used to solve this problem characterized in that the wrapping, packaging, Strapping or the like in the bristle magazine on two spaced through and cut through resulting two parts of this wrapping, packaging, Umschürung or the like on the two sides of the Bristle magazine moved out of this or pulled out become.
  • bristle bundles with their wrapping, packaging, strapping or the like against an approximately midway between the lateral boundaries of the Bristle magazine arranged conveyed and pressed and thereby the wrapping against each other in the conveying direction opposite sides is intersected and if the both parts of the casing or the like in the conveying direction inside the bristle magazine behind the interface can be removed from the magazine or pulled out. So can the transport of the bristle bundles with their wrapping and the "Uncovered" bristles can be used to cover the coating a knife inside the magazine in two parts to separate the two sides of the magazine from this can be removed so that the bristles in the magazine stay behind without being damaged.
  • a modified procedure can consist in that the Envelope or the like of the respective bristle bundle diagonally from the side with the side boundary their cutting edges to slidable knives or similar cutting devices are cut. Also this enables the wrapping to be cut into two parts, the can be removed from the magazine on both sides, this removal on both sides means that each one of the parts of the casing created by the separation after each opposite side is removed.
  • the bristles of the bristle bundle and the surface lines of their wrapping or the like in their Feed in the magazine arranged approximately vertically and across itself in a substantially horizontal direction be advanced. This also allows relatively short bristles inside the magazine with side borders be kept stable and pushed forward and the load at Resist cutting through the casing.
  • the bundles of bristles due to their wrapping Cross-section are circular structures that are within the elongated magazine each have cavities between them set free.
  • the in the bristle bundle is initially one Experience loosening so that the cut open Wrapping parts can be easily removed before through the progress of the feed the bristles that have now become free within the magazine to their desired tightness be pushed together.
  • the invention also relates to a solution to the problem Device for manufacturing brushes, in particular Toothbrushes, with a device for feeding initially wrapping, packaging, strapping or the like enclosed bristle bundles to a horizontally arranged Bristle magazine, inside which the bristles in vertical Position across to itself in the feed direction of your Processing can be fed and transported, the Device a cutting device for cutting open the Wrapping, packaging, strapping or the like and one Device for capturing and removing the cut open Wrapping, packaging, strapping or the like.
  • the Cutting device inside the bristle magazine in Bristle feed direction at a distance from one Transfer device or bristle compartment disc arranged and for cutting the wrapping, packaging twice, Constriction or the like is formed and that the im Area of this cutting device for Capture and remove the cut in two parts Wrapping on both sides of the two lateral boundaries of the Bristle magazine each have at least one barrel or Gripping instrument has that the lateral limits of the Bristle magazine in the area of the respective barrel or gripping instrument have a breakthrough and that the respective barrel or Gripping instrument through the breakthrough of each Limitation for grasping and pulling out one of the two parts the cut wrap or the like can be pushed through and retracted.
  • the device according to the invention thus looks within the Bristle magazine a cutting device with which the Wrapping can be cut in two places, so that inside the bristle magazine the cover in two parts is separated by the side by the side Boundaries or boundary walls are removed can.
  • the bristles themselves remain undamaged and are from the boundaries within the bristle magazine kept so this removal of the wrappings or the like and the feed of the bristles with high Working speed can take place.
  • the height of the lateral limits of the bristle magazine can substantially equal to the length of those taken up Be bristles and for example 30 millimeters to 10 millimeters or less, depending on the length of the to processing bristles.
  • Advantageously bristles of short length can also be processed with a high working speed.
  • the respective drum and gripping instrument can be pneumatic or hydraulically displaceable through the breakthrough and after the Detect the part of the wrapper to be removed or the like can be withdrawn again. A correspondingly high one Working speed of the barrel and gripping instrument is thereby possible.
  • the barrel or gripping instrument can have a barbed tip and / or a forceps-like gripper and / or one with negative pressure be operated vacuum cleaner. This can in particular depend on the type of Wrapping, packaging, strapping or the like dependent made with this gripping instrument after the To divide into two parts is to be removed.
  • the bristles can be inside the bristle magazine by means of a in particular pneumatically or hydraulically operated Slider can be moved in the feed direction and the slider can each with wrapping, packaging, strapping or similar bundles acted upon and in the direction move the cutting device.
  • a simple constructive arrangement and above all a high working speed allowed can be used to move the cutting device.
  • the bristle bundles can be horizontal from the bristle magazine Can be fed side or vertically from above in the area of the slide his. It can be achieved that the slide that follows a certain feed movement back to the starting position withdrawn, one next at a time Treatment position bristle bundle fed to the bristle magazine detected and the feed continues.
  • the device allows the device to be designed in terms of their cutting device in that the Cutting device two diagonally directed and has movable knives on or in the side Limits are arranged and in during the cutting process triangular cavities between the wrapped or packaged Immerse the bundles of bristles.
  • This on the respective Bristle bundles of diagonally effective knives are in Feed direction due to their inclined arrangement and slightly offset movement in the feed direction and cut the respective wrapping on opposite sides through, the closer to the side walls than the Are in the middle of such a bristle bundle.
  • the wrapping or the like in two parts is separated, each laterally by the limits can be removed, which is facilitated by that immediately by opening the casing brief release of pressure between the bristles is achieved while this is the triangular cavities Completion.
  • the devices 1 match, in particular as far as the design for removing the wrappers 3 is concerned.
  • the device 1 described below therefore relates to both Embodiments.
  • the device 1 is used to manufacture brushes, especially of toothbrushes and has the already mentioned somewhat differently designed feeding devices first of all of an envelope 2 or the like enclosed bristle bundles 3 to the horizontally arranged Bristle magazine 4, within which the bristles 7 in vertical position transverse to itself in the feed direction transportable and in the exemplary embodiments Bristle compartment disc 8 can be fed, making them the other Processing are fed.
  • the device 1 also a cutting device to be described in more detail below for cutting open the casing 2 and one as well device to be explained for detecting and removing the cut on sheathing 2, so that the bristle compartment disc 8 close areas of the bristle magazine 4 only Bristles and no more coating 2 contains.
