Description
Title Brush Head and Its Producing Device Background of the Present Invention Field of Invention 100011 The present invention relates to a brush, and more particularly to a brush head and its producing device.
Description of Related Arts [0002] Conventionally, people use a wide variety of brushes for different purposes. For example, people may use toothbrush, broom, or make-up brush for their specific purposes. A conventional bush usually comprises a base, and a plurality of brushing members, wherein the base usually has a plurality of attachment holes for securely accommodating the brushing members. The disadvantage of this type of conventional brush is that when the brush has been used for an extended period of time, the brushing members lose their strength and detach from the attachment holes (i.e.
detached from the base). Moreover, since the brushing members are usually pressed into the corresponding attachment holes, when this procedure is not carried out properly, the brushing members will be damaged by the pressing machine and this problem severely shorten the general lifespan of the relevant brushes.
Summary of the Present Invention 100031 The invention is advantageous in that it provides a brush having an extended product life span.
100041 Another advantage of the invention is to provide a producing device which is capable of manufacturing brushes having extended product lifespan.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in details below.
[00181 Referring to Fig. 1 to Fig. 2 of the drawings, a brush according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, in which the brush comprises a brush head I comprising a brush support 11, and a plurality of brushing members 12 integrally provided on the brush support 11.
I0 100191 More specifically, the brush support 11 and the brushing members 12 are made of the same material so that the brushing members 12 and the brush support 11 can be heated to integrally fuse with each other so as to produce an integral body of the brush support 11 and the brushing members 12.
[00201 The brush further comprises an elongated base member 2 supporting the brush head I and is extended from the brush support 11, wherein the base member 2 has a plurality of engagement slots 21 formed at a top front portion thereof, while the brush support 11 further has a plurality of engagement members 13 downwardly extended from a bottom side thereof, wherein each of the engagement members 13 is aligned with a corresponding engagement slot 21 formed on the base member 2. Thus, the engagement members 13 are arranged to insert into the engagement slots 21 respectively so as to securely and detachably attach the brush support 11 onto the base member 2. As shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the engagement slots 21 are spacedly formed on the base member 2. while the engagement members 13 are spacedly formed on the brush support 11 and are aligned with the engagement slots 21 respectively. As such, when the brush head I
has been used for an extended period of time and becomes old, a user may be able replace the old brush head l with a new one, while the base member 2 can be continuously used.
Thus, the user does not need to replace the entire brush and this feature makes the present invention environmentally friendly.
