Description

The invention relates to bristle goods consisting of a Bristle carrier and bristles attached to this, the are arranged individually or in bundles and their hardness is adjustable.

Bristle goods in the sense of the invention are all Products understood that with bristles or bundles of bristles are occupied. This includes brushes in particular of all kinds, whether used manually or mechanically, bristled tools or bristles provided components that are completed into tools, as well as brushes of all kinds.

The hardness of a bristle is essentially determined by its Length and cross section as well as determined by the choice of material. The selection of the bristle hardness is in turn by determines the intended use of the bristle goods or by the desired function. For brushes for cleaning dirty surfaces as well as for technical ones The main focus is on scratching and brushing, i.e. the bristles must be correspondingly hard (coarse). For brushes for polishing purposes, light cleaning work etc. a more painting effect is desired which So softer (finer) bristles required. The same applies for brushes, especially in the area of paintbrushes a broad gradation is desired. This will not only through the properties of each bristle, but also by the way the bristles are put together Bundling realized. The same applies to brushes in the hygiene area, e.g. Tooth, cosmetic, body and massage brushes. There are essentially three in toothbrushes Hardness levels - coarse, medium and fine - proven to be necessary, to meet the individual requirements of the user correspond.

To use a brush with a specific purpose do not provide a separate brush for each degree of hardness brushes with variable bristle hardness are required known. This happens with all known designs solely by changing the free length of the Bristles, i.e. the effective bending length when force is applied the bristles. So it is known (DE 2 114 533) about the the bristles fastened a perforated plate to the bristle holder pull the distance from the bristle holder using a Actuator is adjustable. The relevant bending length the bristles then become the perforated plate outstanding length determines and can be individual and can be adjusted continuously.

In another known embodiment (US 1 189 698) the bristle carrier is hollow and the bristle bundles lie obliquely in this cavity and are at one Slider attached. The bundles reach through with one Wall of the bristle holder and holes can be adjusted to different lengths using the slider be pushed out or drawn in.

These well-known designs, which are only in practice partially proven, especially in the hygiene sector Problems with themselves. Because the bundles of bristles in holes are movably guided, i.e. corresponding guide column must be provided, sit in this Guide gaps from dirt and care products and form there are also bacterial foci that are not hygienically portable are. It can also be hardened by care products such as Dentifrices or the like, come to incrustations that eventually lead to malfunction. Is further disadvantageous that the bristles or the bristle bundle a Length must be the largest setting free bending length, so a very soft setting enables, although the user may only have one medium or hard setting. this in turn sets a corresponding overall height of the bristle holder ahead of his management and control device. At a Set of brushes such as toothbrushes, cosmetic brushes etc. but a particularly small overall height is desirable.

The known systems with variable bristle length have therefore only isolated in practice, especially introduced with massage brushes (DE 2 114 533). At This technique was not used in toothbrushes Practice, so always a separate toothbrush for each degree of hardness is offered. Apart from the fact that here in the Usually only three hardness levels - rough, medium, fine - are offered this grading is insufficient for many purposes, in particular, it does not allow any individual for the user Adaptation, because for example tooth necks and Gums temporarily different in the same person Show sensitivity.

The invention has for its object in bristle goods any type with adjustable bristle hardness Users the possibility of customizing the Bristle hardness to allow for its needs without that it becomes hygienic due to contamination etc. Problems come, with the goal of a small size becomes.

This task is for bristle goods, the bristles of which have adjustable hardness, according to the invention solved that the bristles on the bristle carrier mounted elastically and when the force is applied, at least across its axis are deflectable, the deflection angle of the bristles is adjustable.

In the formation of the bristle goods according to the invention the hardness of the individual bristle or of several Bristles formed bundle not only by their geometric dimensions (length and cross section) and the Material from which they are made determines, but additionally influenced by the elastic mounting that it the bristle or the bundle enables force to dodge the bristles across the axis and get yourself to erect again after the strength has ceased. The bending or re-erection ability of the bristle results from a combinatorial effect of the physical Properties of the bristle on the one hand and the elastic Behavior of the bristle bearing on the other hand. So that leaves the hardness of the bristle varies within wide limits. in the In contrast to the prior art, the hardness is not by changing the bristle length and with it necessarily connected guidance of the bristles is reached, but only through measures in the area of the bristle foot. It there are no moving guide parts in the area of the free Length of the bristles with all their disadvantages, such as dirt, Incrustation, lack of cleaning ability, additional hard parts in the area of the bristles etc. Furthermore, with such bristle goods on the bristle carrier no precautions are taken to ensure that the adjustable Length recorded within the bristle holder rather, the bristles can be inside the bristle carrier be relatively short.

The elastic mounting can be designed so that deflection only in one direction transverse to the bristle axis is possible. In this case the bristles soften a back and forth movement only in one direction of movement act in this direction as soft Bristles as they line up in the other direction and act as hard bristles. With that you can different effects in the two directions of movement, e.g. in one more scratching and brushing, in the other more reaching and sweeping. By deflectability in all directions results in a Kind of unstable storage with a corresponding degree of hardness in all directions. The elastic storage can also be so be formed in the axial direction of the bristles results in a damping effect.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the bristles sit in an elastic bearing in a bristle holder and can be deflected while deforming the bearing. It is further preferably one on the bristle carrier elastic bearing acting actuator arranged, with the the amount of deformation of the elastic bearing and thus the deflection of the bristles is adjustable.

The actuating device therefore advantageously has means for Limitation of the deformation of the elastic bearing. In is a position influenced by the actuator the bristle deflection is greatest. The actuator can then be adjusted so that in the other extreme position the elasticity of the bearing practical is completely canceled.

A preferred embodiment of the actuating device has at least one rigid associated with the elastic bearing Bearing on that at a distance from the elastic bearing arranged and by means of the actuator to this is deliverable. The rigid bearing thus acts as a kind adjustable abutment for the elastic bearing of the Bristles. The travel distance is relatively short since it only bridging a distance between the complete Release of the elastic bearing via an increasing Limitation of the elasticity up to its approximation complete elimination.

According to a further preferred embodiment provided that the bristles with their elastic bearing in holes in a rigid perforated plate, the front of which forms the user-side surface of the bristle carrier, are fixed and the perforated plate on the back protrude, and that the actuator with the rigid Bearing in the areas of the perforated plate projecting elastic bearing attacks.

In contrast to the prior art, the perforated plate stationary part of the bristle holder and are the holes through the elastic bearings and the receiving them Bristles closed so that no gaps for storage and fixing dirt, care products etc. available. The bristle goods have the same outer Appearance like bristle goods without adjustable Bristle hardness.

A first embodiment is characterized by that the actuator is a substantially parallel for the perforated plate in the bristle holder has, on its side facing the perforated plate has the rigid bearing associated with the elastic bearing.

The shelf is guided in the bristle holder and out a position in which the distance between the rigid and the elastic bearing is largest, with reduction this distance can be delivered to the perforated plate, whereby the deformability of the elastic bearings by the rigid stock is increasingly restricted. In reverse The elastic bearings are increasingly moving released and can affect the force Deform bristles accordingly.

The shelf can also be used as a slider be formed, but preferably at least two in opposite directions parallel to the perforated plate on the bristle holder guided slide provided, the two each with respect sections of the rigid opposite the bearing axis Bearing.

In this version, the rigid bearings are at least divided in two, preferably in the axis of Bristle or the bristle bundle and is a bearing part arranged on one of the two sliders. By opposing Movement of the slide allows the distance of the Bearing parts increasingly from a position at the greatest distance shrink and this way the elasticity of this camp increasingly restricted.

The elastic bearings are preferably made of pins or Sleeves formed, the circumferential in the holes of the Perforated plate are held and in which the bristles with are anchored at their fastening-side end.

The rigid bearings are expediently on the actuating device formed as bearing shells, which are in the direction expand to the elastic bearings and with them terminal outer contour correspond. Out of position greatest bristle hardness in which the rigid bearings terminal outer contour of the elastic bearing completely embrace and their elasticity almost completely pick up, give the bearing shells when moving away with the adjusting device the elastic bearings an increasingly greater scope for deformation.

Instead, it can also be provided that the elastic Bearing-forming pins or sleeves on their Actuator facing the front a recess have into which a nose forming the rigid bearing Actuating device engages.

This embodiment is also advantageous if Nose and recess have congruent contours, and although preferably flared or conical rejuvenating.

In a simplest version it is provided that the rigid bearings from a flat, parallel to the perforated plate Abutment is formed in the form of a plate and with terminal, flat end face of the pins or sleeves cooperates.

With this design, the elastic bearing is only acted on its free end face. With complete Abutment of the plate abutment is the elastic one Bearing almost completely blocked. Even the slightest The distance between the abutment plate and the sleeve or deform the pin transverse to its axis and its Tilt the end face until it contacts the abutment plate receives and thus the deflection of the bristles possible and the bristle hardness to a lower level is set.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the bristles into one at their attachment-side end Are thickened with which they are melted in the elastic Bearings are anchored.

Through this known fastening technology ensured that the bristles despite the elasticity of the the bearing over the entire adjustment range the deflection are firmly anchored.

Will the thickening of the bristles in which the perforated plate protruding area of the elastic bearing arranged, so there is a maximum deflection and thus further adjustment range for the bristle hardness. However, is only a smaller adjustment range is necessary the thickening is arranged within the holes of the perforated plate be and will be essentially just the elasticity in the area of the sleeve seated in the perforated plate and whose end face protruding beyond the perforated plate, on which the rigid bearing acts.

Another preferred embodiment draws is characterized in that the perforated plate with the on it fixed elastic bearings and the bristles interchangeable is attached to the bristle holder.

Bristle goods with replaceable bristle heads are known. In order to aims in particular at the ecological problem of waste disposal and the necessary recycling of plastics be met. This goal is excellent with the solution of the invention agree that the Perforated plate with the elastic bearings and those of them captured bristles locked to the bristle carrier and can be ejected by means of the adjusting device. The actuator fulfills two functions here, namely on the one hand, it serves to adjust the bristle hardness, on the other hand, the replacement of the bristle trim.

The bristle carrier has to accommodate the actuating device a recess in the area of the bristle trim on, in which the actuator is guided and that of the perforated plate is closed.

The actuating device can be actuated in different ways Realize wise. For example be provided that the adjusting device with a Set plate cooperating screw on Bristle holder stored and with one on the back of the bristle holder accessible knob is provided.

By pressing the rotary button, the thread is Screw the shelf more or less to the elastic Bearing delivered, the travel, as already executed, must be very low.

To the function of setting the bristle hardness with the Interchanging the bristle trimmings draws the aforementioned embodiment continues to do so from that the bristle carrier in the area of the bearing Screw is resilient and through this area Press the rotary knob to eject the perforated plate is deformable.

By turning the rotary knob, the setting plate can be and thus adjust the bristle hardness while through Press the rotary knob to remove the perforated plate from the catch is solved and ejected.

If the actuating device has opposing slides, these are preferably by means of the bristle carrier accessible tongues can be actuated. Instead, come for actuation also rotary knobs with eccentrics or others Actuating means that such an opposite movement enable in question.

Preferably, there are those forming the elastic bearings Pins or sleeves made of an elastomer with rubber elastic Characteristics. You can be together with the Perforated plate in the multi-component injection molding process under simultaneous embedding of the thickenings on the fastening side of the bristles.

The bristle goods designed according to the invention exist So from just a few parts, namely the actual one Bristle holder, the perforated plate with the anchored in it Bristles of the actuating device and its actuating means.

The invention ideally indicates the possibility of a single brush bristles or bundles of different bristles Realize hardship by, for example individual bundles or bristles in the material of the perforated plate are fully injected while another Part of the bristle trim in the designed according to the invention elastic bearings. While the former bristles or bundles of bristles only by their free Length and its cross section determined bending behavior show, the latter bristles have an additional elasticity on. Furthermore, the deflection of the elastic stored bristles by appropriate geometric Design the elastic bearings differently.

In Figure 1, the head 1 of a toothbrush is an example shown, but can be described below Design of this head on any other bristle goods transfer.

The head 1 of the toothbrush forms a bristle holder 2 to accommodate the bundled 3 Bristles. The attachment-side ends of the Bristle bundles 3 have head-like thickenings 4 which can be obtained by melting the bristle ends. With these head-like thickenings 4 are the fastening side Ends of the bundles 3 in elastic bearings 5, which in turn are fixed in the holes of a perforated plate 6 are and protrude the back. The thickening 4 the bristle bundle 3 are located in the perforated plate outstanding area of elastic bearings. The front The perforated plate forms the surface on the user side of the bristle holder.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the perforated plate is 6 provided with a circumferential rib 7, which in a likewise circumferential groove 8 in the wall of a Recess 9 of the bristle holder 2 is engaged. In the Recess 9 also houses an actuating device 10, which in the embodiment of Figure 1 as Set plate 11 is formed and on its bristles facing surface widening, bowl-shaped Has depressions, the rigid bearing 12 with the elastic bearings 5 cooperate. The actuator 10 also has an actuating means 13 in the form of a Knob 14, which is rotatable at 15 in the bristle carrier 2 is mounted and has a screw 16 with which it in a corresponding internal thread on the setting plate 11 intervenes. By turning the rotary knob 14 can therefore the setting plate 11 within the recess 9 in the direction deliver to the elastic bearing 5.

In Figure 2 are three bristle bundles 3 with their elastic Storage 5 reproduced enlarged. The elastic Bearing 5, which preferably consist of an elastomer, are designed as sleeves 17 on one end face close flush with the perforated plate 6 on her other end are closed by a bottom 18. The bristle bundle 3 is included in this elastic bearing 5 the terminal thickening 4 firmly anchored. The sleeve 17 in turn sits firmly in the perforated plate 6. The rigid Abutments 12 on the setting plate 11 are bowl-shaped educated. Their contour corresponds to the contour of the sleeve 17 in the area of the floor 18.

Figure 3 shows various functional positions of the positioning plate 11. In position a), the setting plate 11 or their rigid bearings 12 the greatest distance from the elastic bearings 5. In this position the Bundle 3 when force between the pulled out Lines and that shown in dashed lines Position to be deflected. In this position they are the perforated plate 6 inwardly projecting areas of the elastic bearing 5 most deformable, as in Figure 3 is indicated at a). You will be through the rigid bearing on the plate 11 in its deformation not hindered. By delivering the shelf 11 in the position b) becomes the deformability of the elastic Bearing 5 restricted by applying force to the Bristle bundle 3 the elastic deformation of the bearing 5 is limited by the rigid bearing 12. The elastic Bearings are the corresponding abutment surfaces of the rigid bearing 12. The bundles can only be used with deflect at a smaller angle, as indicated in FIG. 3b. Finally, the shelf 11 in their brought other end position c), include the rigid Bearing 12 the end face of the elastic bearing 5 completely and largely cancel out their elasticity, so that the bristle bundles 3 no longer or no longer allow significant deflection. This position corresponds to the greatest bristle hardness.

As Figure 4 shows, the perforated plate 6 with the elastic Bear 5 and the bristle bundles 3 in the multi-component injection molding process are made by for example, first the bristle bundles 3 on their Fastened ends melted to the thickening 4 and arranged in holes in an injection mold be, in which the perforated plate 6 and the elastic bearing 5 with encapsulation of the thickenings 4th getting produced. In the same way, the bristle carrier 2, the setting plate 11 and the knob 14 in Injection molding process and then assembled, by the perforated plate 6 with the circumferential rib 7 in the bristle holder with locking in the groove 8 is used. The assembly of the rotary knob 14 in the bristle holder 2 is facilitated in that the bristle carrier is weakened in the region of the pivot bearing 15 at 19 and thus receives spring action. These resilient areas 19 fulfill another task, namely make that possible Replacing the perforated plate 6 with the bristle trim by yield the areas 19 by pressing the rotary button 14 and the pressure on the elastic plate 11 Bearing 5 and the perforated plate 6 is transferred, so that their rib 7 is unlocked from the groove 8. The Perforated plate 6 with the elastic bearings 5 and the bristle bundles can be used accordingly replace with a new bristle trim.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the elastic bearing 5 on their inner faces conical recesses 20. The setting plate points as rigid abutment 12 corresponding conical lugs 21, the more or depending on the delivery of the shelf 11 less deep in the recesses 20 of the elastic bearing 5 intervene and thus the elasticity of the bearings more or less restrict, as in positions a), b) and c) is shown.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the elastic bearing 5 on her in the recess 9 of Bristle carrier 2 lying end a flat end face 22nd on. The setting plate 11 has a rigid bearing 12 plane parallel to the perforated plate 6 with the bearing surface 23 on. When force is exerted on the bristle bundles 3 the elastic bearing 5 deformed such that the plane End face 22 from the position parallel to the perforated plate 6 is tilted. This tilting can be done by delivering the plate 11 can be restricted, as in the Positions a), b) and c) is shown in this way to vary the bristle hardness.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7, the elastic bearing 5 on her in the recess 9 of Bristle carrier 2 lying end a conical end face 24 on. The actuating device 10 consists of two opposing ones Sliders 25, 26, each one half of a have rigid bearing 12. These two halves are so against each other while reducing their distance displaceable, as indicated by the arrows. By adjusting the two sliders 25, 26 against each other is the freedom of movement of the tapered faces 24 of the elastic bearing 5 from position a) over the Position b) increasingly restricted in position c). In position c) the two halves of the rigid Bearing 12 of the conical end face 24 of the elastic Camp 5.
