Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method for manufacturing brushes, in particular of the type of a paint brush with a stick and hairs.
  • Such brushes are applied for example in bottles of nail polish or corrector whereby the brush is for example fixed to the stopper of the bottle.
  • such brushes are manufactured at present by taking a round bundle of fibers from a cartridge containing fibers that have been cut at length beforehand and by subsequently bending these fibers double and by fixing them with the double-bent ends in a blind hole in the stick by means of a clamp or a metal plate.
  • a disadvantage of this known method lies in the use of clamps, which are disadvantageous to the production cost of such brushes and are detrimental to the environment when such brushes end up in the waste heap.
  • Another disadvantage is that, each time the production has to switch to another shape of this type of brush, the production line or production machine must be reset to a considerable extent.
  • Another additional disadvantage is that, in order to obtain a profiled far end for the fiber bundle, a profile knife is required whose purchase price is relatively high and which has to be replaced or sharpened regularly, to which end the required safety measures must be taken into account.
  • the present invention aims to remedy one or several of the above-mentioned and other disadvantages.
  • the invention concerns a method for manufacturing a brush of the above-mentioned type whereby the stick is made of at least two loose parts, namely a first part in the form of an actual stick and a second part in the form of a fiber holder to be provided on the latter with a passage in which the fibers can be held and whereby the method consists in picking up at least one fiber bundle from a supply of fibers, in providing the at least one picked-up fiber bundle in the axial direction through the above-mentioned passage of the fiber holder in such a manner that at least one fiber bundle protrudes with both far ends of the fibers over a length out of the passage, in melting or gluing together the far ends of the fibers on one far end of the bundle so as to prevent the fiber bundle from being withdrawn from the fiber holder, and in providing and fixing the fiber holder together with the fibers on the actual stick, either or not in another place and/or at another time.
  • An advantage of this method is that it is no longer required to use a clamp, which implies a saving in material and which is more ecologically sound.
  • the production department can respond in a more flexible manner to the needs of the market, since when a model is changed, the production line requires far less resets as the fiber holder can be easily combined with different sticks.
  • the fiber holder can be advantageously made as a cap that is pushed over a far end of the actual stick, or in the shape of a stopper that is pushed in an axial recess of the actual stick and that is fixed by means of jointing techniques that are easy to apply such as snapping in, gluing, welding and the like.
  • the fiber bundles that have been picked up they can be first provided in a support having at least one through hole; this support can be provided with the above-mentioned fiber bundle opposite the fiber holder of the brush with its through hole in the prolongation of the passage in the fiber holder, and the fiber bundle can be axially pushed from the support into the passage of the fiber holder by means of a punch that can be shifted in the through hole of the support.
  • the fiber bundle can be provided in a relatively simple manner from the fiber pick-up device into the fiber holder of the brush.
  • This support also makes it possible to more easily mechanize and automate the method.
  • use can further be made of a punch with a pre-formed head to give the free end of the fiber bundle a required relief shape that may deviate from a fiber bundle with a straight cut.
  • an intermediate plate can be applied that is provided between the support and the fiber holder and that is provided with at least one conducting channel which connects the through hole of the support to the passage in the fiber holder.
  • This intermediate plate makes it possible, for example, to apply fiber bundles in the brush whose shape differs from a round bundle with a circular section as has been the case up to now.
  • an intermediate plate is selected with a conducting channel whose crosscut shape is adjusted to the required shape of the ultimate fiber bundle of the brush.
  • the brush 1 represented in figures 1 and 2 is a brush of the type as is used for example in a bottle of nail polish whereby the brush is fixed to the stopper 2 of the bottle concerned.
  • the brush 1 is of the paint brush type with a stick 3 and fibers or hairs 4, whereby the stick 3 is in this case made of two parts, namely a first part in the shape of an actual stick 5 and a second part in the shape of a fiber holder 6 that is fixed to the actual stick 5 and that is provided with a passage 7 in which the fibers 4 are held in a bundle 8.
  • the fiber holder 6 is made as a cap with a central cavity 9 with which the fiber holder 6 is pushed over a narrowed end 10 of the actual stick 5 and is fixed to it, for example by means of gluing or other jointing techniques.
  • the diameter of the fiber holder 6 is equal to the diameter of the actual stick 5, although this is not necessary.
  • the fibers 4 stick with a short end 10 in the above-mentioned cavity 8 and are connected there to said far ends 10 by means of welding or gluing, such that the fibers 4 cannot be withdrawn from the fiber holder 6 and the fibers 4 freely protrude from the fiber holder over a certain length with their other far end 12.
  • steps A, B and C are carried out first so as to thus make a supply of fiber holders 6 in which a bundle 8 of fibers is fixed, and to carry out the steps D and E at another point in time and/or in a different location so as to obtain an entirely finished brush 1.
  • Figure 4 illustrates how, for example, step B can be carried out in an alternative way in three steps B1, B2 and B3, whereby use is made of an intermediary support 16 with a through hole 17 and a punch 18 in the shape of a pen which is provided in a shifting manner in a guide 19 and which can be shifted in the through hole 17 of the support 16.
  • step B1 the fiber bundle 8 that has been picked up in step A is first provided in the through hole 17 of the support 16.
  • step B2 the support 16 with the picked-up fiber bundle 8 is provided opposite a fiber holder 6 with its through hole 17 in line with the passage 7 in the fiber holder 6 and in line with the punch 18 which is also in line with the passage 7 in the fiber holder 5. It is also possible that the support 16, when the fiber bundle 8 is being picked up, is already situated opposite the fiber holder 6, such that step B2 is redundant in that case.
  • step B3 the fiber bundle 8 is axially pushed from the support 16 in the passage 7 of the fiber holder 6 into the position in which the fibers 4 stick in the cavity 9 with a short end 11, by means of the punch 18, such that these far ends 11 can be connected to one another as explained in step C.
  • the punch 18 can be provided with a straight or with a pre-formed head 20 having another shape, so as to provide the free end 21 of the fiber bundle 8 with a desired relief shape.
  • the punch 18 has a rounded head 20, such that the fibers 4 can be pushed in deeper in the center of the bundle 8 than the fibers 4 on the outside of the bundle 8, as a result of which the far end 21 of the fiber bundle 8 can be finished to a tub shape.
  • the conducting channels in figure 5 can be replaced by a single common funnel for the picked-up bundles 8.
  • the intermediate plate 22 is that, as a result of the design of the cross section of the conducting channels 23, the form of the picked-up fiber bundles 8 can be adjusted as desired. Naturally, in this application, an intermediate plate with only a single conducting channel 23 can be applied as well.
  • Another possibility for adjusting the shape of the fiber bundles 8 is by directly providing the through hole (17) in the support (16) with an adapted shape.
  • a fiber holder 6 which must be connected to the actual stick 5 by means of gluing or welding, also other jointing techniques can be applied, such as snapping on or in, whereby for example, as represented in figure 6, ribs 24 are provided in the narrowed end 10 of the actual stick 5 which can work in conjunction with corresponding grooves 25 in the walls of the cavity 9 of the fiber holder 6.
  • Another possible jointing technique is the one whereby the fiber holder 6 is pressed on or in the actual stick 5, either or not making use of ribs or overcuts or undercuts on the contact surfaces.
  • Figure 7 represents an example of a brush 1 whereby the fiber holder 6 is made in the shape of a stopper which is pushed in an axial recess 26 of the actual stick 5 and which is fixed in it by means of gluing, welding, pressing, shrinking, snapping or the like.
  • brushes 1 must not necessarily be made one by one, but that certain steps can be carried out simultaneously for several brushes 1.
