Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Streifenbürste mit einem aus einem flexiblen Material gefertigten, streifenförmigen Borstenkörper mit einem Borstenbesatz.The invention relates to a strip brush with a one made of flexible material, strip-shaped bristle body with a bristle trim.

Streifenbürsten sind seit langem bekannt und in diversen Ausführungen auf dem Markt erhältlich. Sie dienen zum Abdichten von Durchlässen, Türen und Toren gegen Staub, Zugluft, Wasser, etc. und werden auch zum Transportieren, Führen und Abbremsen empfindlicher Objekte eingesetzt.Strip brushes have been known for a long time and in various designs available on the market. They are used for sealing of passages, doors and gates against dust, drafts, water, etc. and are also used for transporting, guiding and braking sensitive objects.

Es gibt Ausführungsformen mit einem metallischen Borstenkörper, der die Borsten durch Verklammern klemmend hält. Außerdem sind Streifenbürsten bekannt, bei denen der Borstenkörper aus einem massiven Kunststoffprofil besteht, in das die Borsten eingestanzt sind. Bei dichtem Borstenbesatz führt dies zu einem sehr aufwändigen Herstellungsverfahren. Außerdem wird der Borstenkörper durch die massive Ausführung relativ steif. There are embodiments with a metallic bristle body, which holds the bristles by clamping. Moreover Strip brushes are known in which the bristle body is made of a solid plastic profile, in which the bristles are stamped. This leads to dense bristles a very complex manufacturing process. Besides, will the solid body makes the bristle body relatively stiff.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Streifenbürste mit einem aus einem flexiblen Material gefertigten, streifenförmigen Borstenkörper zu schaffen, die in der Herstellung weniger aufwändig ist.The invention has for its object a strip brush with a strip-shaped made of a flexible material To create bristle bodies that are in the making is less complex.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Streifenbürste der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Borstenkörper eine Nut zur Aufnahme des Borstenbesatzes aufweist, wobei innerhalb der Nut mindestens eine federnde Zunge zur klemmenden Halterung der Borsten angeordnet ist. Der Borstenbesatz kann sehr leicht in die Nut eingeschoben und durch die mindestens eine federnde Zunge festgehalten werden. Die Fertigung der erfindungsgemäßen Bürste ist somit weniger aufwändig als bei den Bürsten nach dem Stand der Technik.This task is done with a strip brush of the type mentioned Art solved according to the invention in that the bristle body has a groove for receiving the bristle trim, wherein at least one resilient tongue within the groove clamping bracket of the bristles is arranged. The bristle trim can be easily inserted into the groove and through the at least one resilient tongue are held. Manufacturing the brush according to the invention is thus less complex than with the brushes according to the prior art.

Vorteilhafterweise kann die mindestens eine federnde Zunge einteilig mit dem Borstenkörper ausgebildet sein, was zu weiteren fertigungstechnischen Vereinfachungen führt. Weitere Vorteile lassen sich erzielen, wenn in der Nut zwei federnde Zungen, die die Borsten zwischen sich einklemmen, angeordnet sind. Dadurch ergeben sich symmetrische Verhältnisse bei der Klemmverbindung des Borstenbesatzes und des Borstenkörpers.The at least one resilient tongue can advantageously be formed in one piece with the bristle body, which leads to further manufacturing simplifications leads. Further Advantages can be achieved if two resilient in the groove Tongues that pinch the bristles between them are. This results in symmetrical relationships in the Clamp connection of the bristle stock and the bristle body.

Zweckmäßigerweise können die Borsten um einen Stab, einen Draht oder eine Schnur herumgelegt und gemeinsam mit diesem oder dieser in die Nut eingeführt sein. Der Stab, Draht oder die Schnur erleichtern nicht nur das Einführen der Borsten in die Nut, sondern sorgen auch für einen sicheren Halt des Borstenbesatzes, wenn sie über die Federzungen hinaus in die Nut eingeschoben werden. Die Zungen federn anschließend wieder zusammen und verhindern so ein Herausziehen des Borstenbesatzes, der durch die Schnur oder den Draht eine Verdickung aufweist. The bristles can expediently be arranged around a rod, a Wire or a cord put around and together with this or be inserted into the groove. The rod, wire or the cord not only make it easier to insert the bristles in the groove, but also ensure a secure hold of the Bristle trim when they go beyond the spring tongues in the Slot. The tongues then spring again together and thus prevent the bristle trimmings from being pulled out, which is thickened by the cord or wire.

Zusätzlich zur klemmenden Halterung können die Borsten mindestens am Nutgrund angeklebt sein, um einen sicheren Halt zu gewährleisten. Dabei kann die Nut zweckmäßigerweise im Querschnitt U-förmig sein.In addition to the clamping bracket, the bristles can at least be glued to the bottom of the groove to ensure a secure hold guarantee. The groove can expediently in cross section Be U-shaped.

Zur Befestigung der Streifenbürste kann der Borstenkörper, der vorzugsweise aus einem gummiartigen Kunststoff gefertigt sein kann, einen in Borstenrichtung verlängerten Befestigungsabschnitt aufweisen. In einer anderen Ausführung kann der Borstenkörper einen zur Borstenrichtung rechtwinklig abgebogenen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweisen, je nach den örtlichen Gegebenheiten beim Einbau der Streifenbürste. Weiterhin kann die Streifenbürste zweckmäßigerweise aufwickelbar sein. Die Bürste lässt sich dann in großer Länge auf Rollen oder in Schachteln vorhalten. Bei Bedarf können dann davon Streifenbürsten gewünschter Länge abgeschnitten werden.The bristle body, the preferably be made of a rubber-like plastic can, a fastening section extended in the bristle direction exhibit. In another embodiment, the bristle body one bent at right angles to the bristle direction Have fastening section, depending on the local conditions when installing the strip brush. Furthermore, the Strip brush can be conveniently wound. The brush can then be rolled up in large lengths or in boxes hold. If necessary, strip brushes can then be required Length can be cut off.
