Definitions
- This process presents a new way of preparing bristles for use in the production of brushes of all kinds. It is based on the arrangement according to a predefined order of the colored hair to recreate any image that can be reproduced in the space delimited by the brush in question surface and being recognizable by the resolution defined by the concentration of the bristles on the surface of the brush. (Fig. 5)
- the bristles are normally already placed in tufts of equal quantities and equal spacing in the usual production, two important considerations differentiate this method of production from the usual method: the use of the weft for placing the bristles (Fig. 1A and 1B ) and optimization of the technique of drawing to help maintain the hair in the desired order during production cycles. This optimization will primarily consist of the use of a frame for holding the hair in the desired position until the end of the brush production, both the cooling of the plastic, the glue or stamping hairs etc
Abstract
The invention enables to affix a permanent identification mark on a toothbrush using bristles of different colours. Thus the each bristle and each colour is arranged in a specific position by using a screen with holes to enable an accurate reproduction of a predetermined pattern.
Description
Description Description
Ce procédé présente une nouvelle façon de préparer les poils destinés à être utilisés dans la production de brosses de toutes sortes. Il est basé sur l'arrangement selon un ordre prédéfini des poils colorés, pour recréer toute image pouvant être reproduite dans l'espace délimité par la surface de la brosse en question, et pouvant être reconnaissable à la résolution définie par la concentration des poils sur la surface de la brosse. (Fig. 5)This process presents a new way of preparing bristles for use in the production of brushes of all kinds. It is based on the arrangement according to a predefined order of the colored hair to recreate any image that can be reproduced in the space delimited by the brush in question surface and being recognizable by the resolution defined by the concentration of the bristles on the surface of the brush. (Fig. 5)
Cette technique de production de brosses à poils colorés permet d'apposer une image ou une identification de marque de façon durable sur la brosse. Le bénéfice inhérent à cette possibilité est de produire des brosses qui ciblent davantage leur clientèle, par exemple en leur apposant des images tels que les caractères de bandes dessinées sur des brosses à dents destinées aux enfants. De la même manière, les sociétés de chaussures ou d'habits pourront identifier leurs brosses sur la face comprenant les poils, et les sociétés de toutes sortes pourront faire produire des brosses qui communiqueront à leurs utilisateurs, dans un but publicitaire, soit un message, soit le logotype de la société. (Fig. 4)This technique for producing brushes with colored bristles makes it possible to affix an image or a brand identification in a lasting manner on the brush. The inherent benefit of this possibility is to produce brushes which target their customers more, for example by affixing images to them such as the characters of comics on toothbrushes intended for the children. In the same way, shoe or clothing companies will be able to identify their brushes on the face including the bristles, and companies of all kinds will be able to produce brushes which will communicate to their users, for advertising purposes, either a message, or the company logo. (Fig. 4)
ProcédéProcess
Comme l'utilisation d'une trame découle de la possibilité de placer dans l'ordre voulu chaque poil, il est évident que les méthodes de production qui consistent d'emboutir, de souder ou d'emprisonner les poils permettront d'exploiter au mieux les possibilités de cette invention.As the use of a frame results from the possibility to place in the desired order each bristle, it is evident that the production methods consisting of pressing, welding or imprison the bristles allow to best exploit the possibilities of this invention.
Les poils étant normalement déjà placés en touffes de quantités égales et d'espacement égal dans la production habituelle, deux considérations importantes différencient cette méthode de production de la méthode habituelle : l'utilisation de la trame de placement des poils (Fig. 1A et 1B) et l'optimisation de la technique d'emboutissage pour permettre de maintenir les poils dans l'ordre voulu lors des cycles de production. Cette optimisation consistera principalement de l'emploi d'une trame permettant de maintenir les poils dans la position désirée jusqu'à la fin de la production de la brosse, que ce soit le refroidissement du plastique, le séchage de la colle ou l'emboutissage des poils etc

Claims
Revendication Claim
Cette invention ne concerne pas un type de brosse spécifique (Fig. 2A. B et C). mais s'applique à toute brosse dont la régularité et la densité des poils permettent de reproduire fidèlement un motif prédéfini. Ceci diffère de la production habituelle des brosses par le fait que. lorsque plusieurs couleurs sont utilisées, les couleurs sont normalement réparties par groupe de couleur et non pas par poil. Par conséquent, dans la production actuelle, la technique de répartition des couleurs ne permet pas une identification, et, plus important, une personnalisation de la brosse par la disposition des poils.This invention does not relate to a specific type of brush (Fig. 2A. B and C). but applies to any brush whose regularity and density of the bristles allow to faithfully reproduce a predefined pattern. This differs from the usual production of brushes in that. when several colors are used, the colors are normally distributed by color group and not by hair. Consequently, in current production, the color distribution technique does not allow identification, and more importantly, personalization of the brush by the arrangement of the bristles.
La nouveauté de cette invention vient de l'emploi d'une trame précise (Fig. 1A et 1B composée de trous à travers lesquels passent des poils de couleurs différentes, chacun desquels est affecté à un trou précis. La trame peut être considérée comme un système de coordonnées simple, où chaque trou correspond à un coordonné de la trame et à une couleur prédéfinie. Ceci permet, par conséquent, de recréer un dessin dont la trame de couleurs sera identique à celle utilisée par les poils. (Exemples en Fig. 3A et B).
The novelty of this invention comes from the use of a precise weft (Fig. 1A and 1B composed of holes through which pass bristles of different colors, each of which is assigned to a specific hole. The weft can be considered as a simple coordinate system, where each hole corresponds to a coordinate of the grid and to a predefined color. This allows, therefore, to recreate a drawing whose color grid will be identical to that used by the bristles (Examples in Fig. 3A and B).
