This brush (B1), which is the original applicant of the same applicant as the present application (Patent No. 2703842), has a large bundle of fiber bundles in a state of being folded in two in a groove of a channel member 52 made of synthetic resin or rubber. It has a structure fixed by the part (a) which binds the state which pinched | interposed the base end side of the brush main body 51 connected by the shape.

  As shown in Fig. 9, the brush body 51 bends a long bundle of fibers in an S shape to form a large plate-shaped body 50 having a predetermined width, and the large plate-shaped body 50 is formed at both edges in the longitudinal direction thereof. It is made by the method of dividing | segmenting along the cutting line (d) of the width direction, after fixing by the negative string bundling part b.

This brush B1 corresponds to the brush A1 attached to the rotary brush C built in the suction nozzle (not shown) of the vacuum cleaner, as shown in FIG. 3 as an embodiment drawing of the present invention.

Four sets of brush mounting grooves 20a are formed in the outer circumferential surface of the rod-shaped rotor 20 made of metal such as aluminum, which is the main body of the rotary brush C, or made of synthetic resin by extrusion molding.

The brush B1 is placed in the preventive state by sliding the bulging base 52a (see Figs. 7 and 8) of the channel member 52 in the mounting groove 20a by sliding in the axial direction. It is fixed.

Next, FIG. 10 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the brush of the second conventional example for the vacuum cleaner.

This brush B2 disclosed as Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11 (1999) -89762 includes a base member 62 having a plate-like base member having a mounting member 63 fitted in the mounting groove 20a attached to its proximal end. And a large brush body 61 attached to the front end side of the base member 62. 64 is an iron strap for fixing the brush body 61.

However, the brush B1 of the first conventional example is for fixing the form in which the long bundle of fibers is arranged in a large plate shape when the brush body 51 is made, and the channel member 52 sandwiches the brush body 51. It requires two wire rope fixing processes to fix a condition.

In addition, it takes time and expense to produce the channel member 52 separate from the brush body 51.

In addition, the brush B2 of the second conventional example is separately manufactured for the brush body 61, the base member 62, and the mounting member 63, and then assembled in the form of a brush through iron string fixing processing or the like. It takes a lot of time and money.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a brush such as an electric vacuum cleaner and its manufacturing method which can significantly reduce the time and cost required for the production of each component constituting the brush and their assembly.

Brushes, such as for a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention for achieving the above object,

It is used for rotating brushes installed in the suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner,

A brush body (1) having a shape in which a plurality of fiber bundles folded in two in a U shape are connected in a large plate in a state in which the side ends folded twice are arranged in a straight line;

And a string-shaped mounting member 2 fixed over the entire length of the edge portion at the proximal end of the brush body 1,

It is characterized in that the mounting member (2) is inserted into the mounting groove (20a) formed in the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 20 of the rotary brush in a separation prevention state.

The mounting member 2 may be fixed to the brush body 1 by sewing, weaving, or bonding means.

Moreover, the manufacturing method of the brush by this invention is

Bending a long bundle of fibers into an S shape to form a large plate-shaped body 10 of a predetermined width;

A step of sewing the string-like mounting members 2 on both edge portions in the longitudinal direction of the large plate-shaped body 10 by fixing, weaving or bonding means, respectively;

And a step of dividing the large plate-shaped body 10 on which the mounting member 2 has been fixed at the center in the width direction to form two brushes.

(Example)

Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

The brush A1 of this embodiment is fixed to the proximal side of the brush body 1 in order to fix the large brush-shaped brush body 1 and the brush A1 to their mounting portions, as shown in FIG. 1 as a partial perspective view. It consists of the mounting member 2.

In FIG. 3, the state which attached this brush A1 to the rotor 20 of the rotating brush C mounted in the suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner is shown as a longitudinal cross-sectional view.

In the rod-shaped rotor 20 of a predetermined length, four sets of mounting grooves 20a are formed in the axial direction of the outer peripheral surface thereof.

The cross section of the mounting groove 20a is undercut in order to prevent separation of the mounting member 2 inserted into the groove.

As shown in Fig. 1, the brush body 1 has a form in which a plurality of groups of fiber bundles folded in two U-shape are connected in a large plate shape with side ends folded in two.

The mounting member 2 of this embodiment may be a cord-shaped body made of synthetic resin, or a wire rod made of synthetic resin made of a desired thickness having appropriate rigidity and flexibility.

Next, the manufacturing method of the brush main body 1 and the brush A1 is demonstrated, referring FIG.

First, a long bundle of fibers trimmed to a desired thickness is bent into an S shape to obtain a large plate-shaped body 10 having a width of about twice the length of the brush.

Although not shown in it, a few warp yarns may be used to weave up, for example, as weaving feet. Unnecessary warp is extracted later.

Next, the mounting member 2 is fixed to both ends of the longitudinal direction of the large plate-shaped body 10 over its entire length.

What is necessary is just to employ | adopt a method, such as sewing with the iron string 3, as shown in figure.

Or when weaving the board-shaped object 10, you may knit together the string-shaped mounting member 2 in the both edge part.

Alternatively, the mounting member 2 may be fixed to the large plate-shaped body 10 by an adhesive means.

When the large plate-shaped member 10 in which the fixing member 2 is fixed is divided along the center line X-X in the width direction, as shown in FIG. 2, the brush A1 shown in FIG. 1. You can complete two at a time.

Next, the brush A2 of 2nd Example is shown to FIG.
