Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- 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.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- According to a known method, 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.
- It is also known to further finish the thus obtained brush in a following step of the method by cutting the fibers at the desired length if required, possibly with a profile knife if the far end of the brush must have a profiled form, and/or to finish the fiber ends by rounding them off or by re-grinding them or by lightly stroking them or the like.
- 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 we are restricted to the use of round fiber bundles with this method, which limits the manufacturer's design possibilities.
- 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.
- To this end, 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.
- As the stick of the brush is made of several pieces, 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.
- To that end, 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.
- In order to advantageously apply 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.
- In this way, 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.
- According to a variant, 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.
- Moreover, in order to obtain a profiled, cut far end of the fiber bundle, the use of a profile knife is no longer required.
- Additionally, 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.
- To this end, 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.
- According to an alternative method, several fiber bundles are picked up that are provided together in the fiber holder of the brush, via a support with several through holes and an intermediate plate with several conducting channels, so as to form a composed fiber bundle.
- In this way can be composed fiber bundles with fiber bundles of different colors, materials, shapes and the like, so as to produce brushes in a simple manner with strongly varying characteristics and qualities.
- In order to better explain the characteristics of the invention, the following preferred applications of the method according to the invention for manufacturing brushes are described hereafter as an example only without being limitative in any way, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 schematically represents a brush in perspective, made according to the method of the invention; -
FIG. 2 represents a section according to line II-II inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 represents the successive steps of a possible method according to the invention; -
FIGS. 4 to 7 represent possible variants of certain steps of the method according to the invention as represented inFIG. 3 . - The
brush 1 represented inFIGS. 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 thestopper 2 of the bottle concerned. - The
brush 1 is of the paint brush type with astick 3 and fibers orhairs 4, whereby thestick 3 is in this case made of two parts, namely a first part in the shape of anactual stick 5 and a second part in the shape of afiber holder 6 that is fixed to theactual stick 5 and that is provided with apassage 7 in which thefibers 4 are held in abundle 8. - In the given example, the
fiber holder 6 is made as a cap with acentral cavity 9 with which thefiber holder 6 is pushed over a narrowedend 10 of theactual stick 5 and is fixed to it, for example by means of gluing or other jointing techniques. - In the example, the diameter of the
fiber holder 6 is equal to the diameter of theactual stick 5, although this is not necessary. - The
fibers 4 stick with ashort end 10 in the above-mentionedcavity 8 and are connected there to said farends 10 by means of welding or gluing, such that thefibers 4 cannot be withdrawn from thefiber holder 6 and thefibers 4 freely protrude from the fiber holder over a certain length with their other farend 12. - The method according to the invention is simple and is illustrated by means of
FIG. 3 in which the different steps of the method are shown, namely: - step A: picking a
fiber bundle 8 from asupply 13 offibers 4, whereby the supply can be a spool from which thefibers 4 can be unwound, or it can be a cartridge of fibers that are pre-cut at length and whosefar ends 12 may be pre-treated so as to round off these farends 12 or the like; - step B: axially putting the picked-up
fiber bundle 8 through the above-mentionedpassage 7 of thefiber holder 6, in such a way that thefibers 4 stick in thecavity 9 of thefiber holder 6 with ashort end 11; - step C: melting the
far ends 11 of thefibers 4 together with amelting device 14 or gluing them together so as to prevent thefiber bundle 8 from being withdrawn from the fiber holder, in other words so as to prevent thefiber bundle 8 from being pushed out of thefiber holder 6 in at least one direction; - step D: providing and fixing the
fiber holder 6 on theactual stick 5 together with thefibers 4, for example by means of gluing, welding (friction welding, ultrasonic welding, . . . ) or the like; - step E: optionally finishing the
free fiber ends 12 with afinishing device 15, for example by polishing or rounding off these farends 12. - Naturally, not necessarily all steps must be carried out in the same production site or at the same point in time. Thus, it is for example conceivable for the steps A, B and C to be carried out first so as to thus make a supply of
fiber holders 6 in which abundle 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 finishedbrush 1. -
FIG. 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 anintermediary support 16 with a throughhole 17 and apunch 18 in the shape of a pen which is provided in a shifting manner in aguide 19 and which can be shifted in the throughhole 17 of thesupport 16. - In step B1, the
fiber bundle 8 that has been picked up in step A is first provided in the throughhole 17 of thesupport 16. - In step B2, the
support 16 with the picked-upfiber bundle 8 is provided opposite afiber holder 6 with its throughhole 17 in line with thepassage 7 in thefiber holder 6 and in line with thepunch 18 which is also in line with thepassage 7 in thefiber holder 5. It is also possible that thesupport 16, when thefiber bundle 8 is being picked up, is already situated opposite thefiber holder 6, such that step B2 is redundant in that case. - In step B3, the
fiber bundle 8 is axially pushed from thesupport 16 in thepassage 7 of thefiber holder 6 into the position in which thefibers 4 stick in thecavity 9 with ashort end 11, by means of thepunch 18, such that these farends 11 can be connected to one another as explained in step C. - The
punch 18 can be provided with a straight or with apre-formed head 20 having another shape, so as to provide thefree end 21 of thefiber bundle 8 with a desired relief shape. - In the case of
FIG. 4 , thepunch 18 has arounded head 20, such that thefibers 4 can be pushed in deeper in the center of thebundle 8 than thefibers 4 on the outside of thebundle 8, as a result of which thefar end 21 of thefiber bundle 8 can be finished to a tub shape. - If necessary, use can be made of a counter-punch, not represented in the figures, which, as the
fiber bundle 8 is being pushed out of thesupport 16, is maintained behind thefiber holder 6 in the prolongation of thepunch 18. - According to yet another alternative method, as represented in
FIG. 5 ,several fiber bundles 8 are picked up, which are all provided in afiber holder 6 via asupport 16 with several throughholes 17 and anintermediate plate 22 with severalconducting channels 23 so as to form a composed fiber bundle, whereby the conductingchannels 23 to this end all open opposite the entry of thepassage 7 in thefiber holder 6. - If necessary, the conducting channels in
FIG. 5 can be replaced by a single common funnel for the picked-upbundles 8. - Another possibility for the
intermediate plate 22 is that, as a result of the design of the cross section of theconducting channels 23, the form of the picked-upfiber bundles 8 can be adjusted as desired. Naturally, in this application, an intermediate plate with only a single conductingchannel 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. - It is clear that the
support 16 and theintermediate plate 22 can be integrated as a whole. - Although, in the preceding figures, a
fiber holder 6 is represented which must be connected to theactual 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 inFIG. 6 ,ribs 24 are provided in the narrowedend 10 of theactual stick 5 which can work in conjunction withcorresponding grooves 25 in the walls of thecavity 9 of thefiber holder 6. - Another possible jointing technique is the one whereby the
fiber holder 6 is pressed on or in theactual stick 5, either or not making use of ribs or overcuts or undercuts on the contact surfaces. -
FIG. 7 represents an example of abrush 1 whereby thefiber holder 6 is made in the shape of a stopper which is pushed in anaxial recess 26 of theactual stick 5 and which is fixed in it by means of gluing, welding, pressing, shrinking, snapping or the like. - It is clear that certain steps of the method can also be carried out in another order.
- It is also clear that the
brushes 1 must not necessarily be made one by one, but that certain steps can be carried out simultaneously forseveral brushes 1. - The present invention is by no means limited to the method described as an example and represented in the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, such a method according to the invention for manufacturing brushes can be realized in all sorts of variants while still remaining within the scope of the invention.
