APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FORMING BRISTLE BUNDLES, BRUSH MANUFACTURING MACHINE, USE OF AN APPARATUS FOR FORMING BRISTLE BUNDLES, BRUSH, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

The invention relates to improvements in the technical field of producing and designing brushes. Inter alia, an apparatus (1) for forming bristle bundles (2) is proposed as an improvement. The apparatus (1) comprises at least one bundle pocket (3), intended to receive a bristle bundle (2) to be formed. The bundle pocket (3) has at least one cut-out (6) in the side. A displacement device (7) on the apparatus (1) can be introduced into the bundle pocket (3) through this cut-out (6) to create a recess (29) inside a bristle bundle (2) to be formed. The bundle pocket (3) and the bristle bundle (2) located therein are heated by the heating device (4) in the apparatus (1) to fix the shape of the bristle bundle (2) defined by the bundle pocket (3) and the displacement device (7). 本发明涉及刷制造和设计的技术领域的改进。作为改进尤其提出一种用于使刷毛束(2)成形的装置(1)。该装置(1)包括至少一个束袋(3)，该束袋确定用于接纳待变形的刷毛束(2)。所述束袋(3)具有至少一个侧向缺口(6)。通过所述缺口(6)，装置(1)的排挤机构(7)可以被导入到束袋(3)中，以便在待变形的刷毛束(2)内产生空隙部(29)。借助装置(1)的加热装置(4)来加热束袋(3)和位于其中的刷毛束(2)，以便固定刷毛束(2)的由束袋(3)和排挤机构(7)预先给定的造型。
