Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method for manufacturing wire-wound brushes, for example little mascara brushes or little brushes for brushing between the teeth.
  • wire-wound brushes consist of two wire parts that are mutually wound in a spiral manner and in between which are provided fibers.
  • it is known to bend a wire in two, such that two wire parts are obtained extending parallel to each other.
  • Between both wire parts is then provided a number of fibers which are being held by means of a gripper, after which the wire parts are spirally wound in relation to each other.
  • the fibers While being wound, the fibers are clamped between both wire parts and the gripper releases the fibers, as a result of which the number of fibers is spirally turned so as to form a helix.
  • the fibers can be trimmed or subjected to another finishing operation.
  • a major challenge when manufacturing wire-wound brushes is to lower the production time and to obtain an optimal brush quality.
  • the step of winding the wire parts is crucial.
  • the operational step of winding the wire parts is not only a relatively time-consuming step, it is moreover extremely important for a correct positioning of the fibers in the brush.
  • the fibers are clamped between these wire parts, whereby the gripper with which the fibers can be provided between the wire parts has to release the fibers to avoid any shifting of the fibers in relation to the wire parts.
  • Such a shift might arise when the fibers are mutually turned crosswise to their longitudinal axis themselves due to the wire parts being wound, while the gripper is kept stationary.
  • the present invention aims to alter the method for manufacturing wire-wound brushes in such a way that the time to produce the brushes can be reduced without losing quality.
  • the invention concerns a method which mainly consists in positioning one or several fibers between two wire parts by means of a gripper; in winding the wire parts up to a desired winding degree; in opening the gripper as soon as one or several fibers have been clamped between both partly wound wire parts, whereby the winding of the wire parts is split in two operational steps, namely a first operational step in which the wire parts are being wound until at least one or several fibers has/have been clamped between both wire parts, and a second operational step in which the wire parts with one or several fibers in between them are being wound further up to the aforesaid desired winding degree.
  • An advantage of the method according to the invention is that the fibers are clamped between the wire parts in a separate operational step, such that the time required to realize this operational step can be calculated with a relatively large margin, after which the wire parts are wound further in a subsequent operational step while, at the same time, fibers are already being clamped between the wire parts of a following brush in the production process.
  • the speed at which the wire parts are wound while the fibers are being clamped between the wire parts is preferably lower than the speed at which the wire parts are wound in the subsequent operational step.
  • the time at which the fibers will be clamped between the wire parts can be determined relatively accurately, such that also the time required to open the gripper that positions the fibers between the wire parts can be determined and controlled relatively accurately, such that a good quality of the produced brushes can be guaranteed without this slowing down the production process as a whole.
  • the production process is accelerated in relation to the production time of a known method to obtain the same quality of brushes.
  • the present invention also concerns a device for manufacturing brushes according to the above-described method, which mainly consists of a clamp for wire parts provided on means which make it possible to present the wire parts to different winding stations, whereby the device comprises at least a first winding station which consist of a gripper for applying and positioning one or more fibers between the wire parts and means which make it possible to mutually wind the wire parts; and whereby it comprises at least one additional winding station which consists of means for winding the wire parts up to a desired winding degree.
  • FIGS 1 to 6 schematically illustrate some operational steps for manufacturing wire-wound brushes.
  • the different operational steps are preferably carried out at different work stations provided along a turntable, a conveyor belt or the like.
  • Figure 1 schematically represents a first work station 1 which at least consists of two guides 2 and a striking pen 3, whereby between the guides and the striking pen 3 is presented a wire 4, after which the striking pen 3 is moved in between the guides 2 and hereby folds the aforesaid wire 4 in two, i.e. into two wire parts 4A-4B.
  • the folded end 5 of the wire 4 is clamped in a clamping means 6 which can be moved on the turntable, the conveyor belt or the like.
  • the second work station 7 in this case consists of a gripper 8 which makes it possible to pick up one or several fibers 9 from a cartridge and to position it/them between both wire parts 4A-4B, and of non-illustrated means which make it possible to mutually wind the wire parts 4A-4B.
  • the wire parts 4A-4B are wound round each other so as to form a spiral 10.
  • the fibers 9 are clamped between the wire parts 4A-4B, and the gripper 8 must release the fibers so as to prevent the fibers 9 from being shifted in relation to the wire parts 4A-4B, which is not desirable in view of the quality of the brush to be produced.
  • the winding of the wire parts 4A-4B is restricted to the moment when the wire parts 4A-4B have been sufficiently wound so as to guarantee a good clamping of one or several of the fibers 9.
  • the acceleration and the speed at which the wire parts 4A-4B are being wound is preferably restricted so as to be able to determine the moment at which the gripper 8 should be opened relatively accurately, such that the fibers 9 can turn along unhindered with the winding of the wire parts 4A-4B on the one hand, and such that the fibers 9 are sufficiently clamped between the wire parts 4A-4B on the other hand so as to avoid any shift of the fibers under the influence of, for example, the gravitational force on the other hand.
  • the spiral 10 containing the fibers 9 is presented to a subsequent work station by means of the clamping means 6.
  • the wire parts 4A-4B are further wound until, as represented in figure 5, a desired winding degree has been obtained after the final winding station.
  • the speed for winding the wire parts 4A-4B can be set higher than in the first winding step in which the fibers 9 are fixed between the wire parts 4A-4B.
  • one winding station is always used to further wind the wire parts 4A-4B, while the other winding station prepares a subsequent brush in the production line for further winding by applying one or several fibers 9 between the wire parts 4A-4B concerned.
  • wire parts 4A-4B must not necessarily be part of the same wire 4; it is also possible to use two loose wire parts.
