Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing brushes, in particular Toothbrushes, wherein the bristle bundles of a compartment element in a first direction of movement separated from at least one bristle supply and for attachment to at least one bristle carrier from the compartment element in a second direction of movement be removed.
  • bristle bundles each by means of a circular arc Aberlements in an oscillating circular arc of movement a bristle supply divided and led to a stuffing tool.
  • the bristle bundle is then stuffed by means of the stuffing tool in a hole of a bristle carrier.
  • the Number of bristle filaments taken from the bristle supply with the compartment element is matched to the size of the hole of the bristle carrier.
  • the bundles of bristles also have to be padded bristle carrier Bristle bundles of identical size.
  • DE-193 89 37 discloses a development of the aforementioned generic Procedure and can also be regarded as generic. That in DE-193 89 37 disclosed method is used to produce brushes with at least two Borstensorten, each bristle variety separated from a bristle stock and in one circular arc movement is fed to a stuffing tool. In the generic Method is in each case a predetermined number of bristle filaments taken from the respective bristle reservoirs. The different bristle varieties are then fed to the stuffing tool, in such a way that the different Borstensorten follow each other at a time interval.
  • 89 37 is a mixture of two bristle varieties in the circular segment-shaped movement of the compartment element produced by the fact that the Borstenfil noir receiving recess on the circular arc-shaped partition element between a first and a further bristle supply for receiving in the other Bristle stock contained bristle filaments is increased.
  • the present invention is based on the problem, the generic method in terms of performance.
  • the technical problem underlying the invention is achieved by a method with the features of claim 1, which is characterized by the state
  • the technique differentiates that in the first direction of movement multiple bundles of bristles be separated and that these bristle bundles in the second direction of movement be taken at the same time.
  • a plurality of bristle bundles for fastening be provided at least one bristle carrier at the same time.
  • inventive Methods are used to provide bristle bundles for attachment at the bristle carrier this first in a first direction of movement of a Bristle supply separated.
  • the first direction of movement may be a circular segment Be movement, as it is known from the generic state of the art, they but can also be a linear movement, with which a predetermined number of Bristle filaments from the bristle supply is removed.
  • the compartment element is preferably stopped and held on the Aberlement bristle bundles are in a second, preferably orthogonal to the first direction of movement direction of movement recorded and taken at the same time.
  • the bristle bundles are removed substantially simultaneously, namely that on the Abteielement first in a first direction of movement provided bristle bundles are removed from the compartment element, before this is set in motion again for separating further bristle bundles.
  • the at the second bundle of bristles are finished bristle bundles, which can be seen as individual bundles on the finished brush or the subset form an enlarged bristle bundle, in which a plurality of bristle bundles with identical or substantially identical number of bristle filaments.
  • the bundles of bristles thus produced are used for fastening taken from the Aberlement on the bristle carrier. This means, that the bristle bundles are removed from the compartment element.
  • the bristle bundles For this purpose, either in itself known from the generic state of the art Grasped with a stuffing tool and directly to the bristle carrier be attached. Alternatively, the bristle bundles can also be attached to a holder for further Preparation of the bristle bundles for later attachment to a bristle carrier be transferred.
  • the bristle bundles in the second movement at the same time introduced into a hole field pattern, which a Bristle arrangement of a single bristle carrier corresponds.
  • the hole pattern in the The meaning of the invention is a pattern of holes that are in one of the size, number and relative Alignment of the bristles of the finished brush corresponding arrangement provided are. Since the bristle bundles in the second movement at the same time in the hole field pattern can be introduced, such a perforated field pattern faster with bristle bundles be stuffed.
  • the bristle bundles in the second direction of movement held over a common stuffing tool and at the same time introduced into different holes of the at least one hole field pattern.
  • the stuffing tool required to carry out this preferred procedure can despite increased output with only slightly higher mass than a stuffing tool be formed to stop only a bristle bundle.
  • the bristle bundles in the second direction of movement over several stuffing tools held and at the same time in different holes of the at least one hole field pattern brought in.
  • the different stuffing tools are preferably so coordinated, that even in the event of a failure of one or more Stopftechnikmaschinee the still functional stuffing tools ensure production can.
  • This preferred process facilitates mass production from a variety of brushes with identical hole pattern.
  • the to the pecking of a Lochfeldmusters required relative movement between the hole pattern and the stuffing tool in a direction substantially transverse to the extension of the holes for providing respective empty holes for the stuffing device detected in this embodiment a plurality of hole field patterns, their corresponding holes respectively be stuffed at the same time with bristle bundles.
  • This preferred Development of the method according to the invention first simplifies the constructive structure of the apparatus required for carrying out the method.
  • the preferred method is particularly suitable for preparing bristle bundles, which are stuffed into a hole pattern whose holes are identical lateral Have distance to each other.
  • the lateral distance provided on the compartment element and the bristle bundle receiving recesses corresponds exactly this lateral spacing of individual holes of the hole pattern.
  • the at the removal position be prepared by the Abmaschinelement prepared bristle bundles in this preferred embodiment without changing its lateral distance introduced directly into adjacent holes of the hole pattern.
  • the Movement in the second direction of movement an exclusively linear movement be, resulting in a quick and easy process management.
  • the bristle bundles while maintaining their lateral distance conveyed to a mouth of a hole and when inserted into the hole moved towards each other.
  • the bristle bundles slide when inserted into the hole on the surface of a funnel-shaped opening from the hole. This ensures a safe introduction of the bristle bundles in the hole in a simple embodiment of the device for carrying out the method.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 each schematically show essential parts of a device for Implementation of the method, a bristle reservoir 2, a circular arc Sectioning element 4 and a stuffing tool 6 has.
  • the compartment element 4 lies with its outer peripheral surface 8 sealingly at an opening of the bristle reservoir 2 on. Furthermore, the compartment element 4 has two recesses positioned next to each other 10a, 10b.
  • bristle filaments 12 removed from the storage container 2 by means of the compartment element 4.
  • a first Direction of movement of the compartment element 4 in the direction of the arrow P will be a specific Number of bristle filaments 12 from the bristle reservoir 2 only then taken when the recesses 10 a, 10 b of the partition element 4 at the opening the bristle reservoir 2 are passed.
  • the bristle filaments 12 become thereby in a controlled manner into two different bristle bundles 14 separated.
  • the bristle bundles 14 are in a continuous movement in the direction of the arrow P led to a stuffing tool 6.
