Abstract: An apparatus for supplying fibers to a filling tool of a brush-making machine is provided. The apparatus includes a slide positioned between a stationary multiple fiber magazine and a bundle remover. The slide has a number of loading spaces for the purpose of moving fibers from the channels of the fiber magazine to the bundle remover. The removal of the fibers from the fiber magazine to the bundle remover is accomplished by first pushing a number of fibers from the magazine into one of the loading spaces on the slide and then moving the filled loading space to a position adjacent the bundle remover. The fibers in the loading space are then pushed into the bundle remover by a separate pusher attachment.

Abstract: The device according to the invention is of a concept whereby means are provided per brush-manufacturing machine, that can contain a series of cassettes, that are placed above or beside each other and that, under control, can be brought opposite the fibre magazine of the machine one by one to be emptied into this fibre magazine.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a double fibre magazine for brush manufacturing machines, characterized in that it mainly consists of a combination of two fibre magazines which are immovably located opposite to the bundle plucker, each fibre magazine being provided with a separating device and a pressing component for pressing the fibres towards the bundle plucker; and means which alternately put the fibres beyond the reach of the bundle plucker in one and the other fibre magazine.
