Patent number: 10213014Abstract: A transfer station for bristle filaments that are fed to the transfer station in bristle bundles is provided. The bristle filaments are assembled in bundle form by at least one band and are transferred to a magazine in which the bristle filaments are stored. The transfer station has at least two pairs of gripping fingers spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the bundles, with the gripping fingers of the gripping-finger pairs being movable relative to one another in order to grip a bristle bundle by a distance between said gripping fingers being reduced. The gripping-finger pairs grip the bristle bundle such that the band of the bristle bundle is arranged between adjacent gripping-finger pairs. This makes it possible for the bristle filaments fed in bundle form to be transferred in an automated manner to the magazine arranged upstream of a stuffing tool of a brush-production machine.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Zahoransky AGInventors: Ingo Kumpf, Florian Kiefer, Bernhard Rees, Christoph Albrecht

Patent number: 9986816Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing bristle arrangements for brushes. The brush is populated with a carrier pad, and to enable simplification of the manufacture of bristle arrangements for brushes, the bristle bundles which are conveyed by a gas or air stream through the conveying device to the bundle-retaining plate, when being conveyed through the conveying device are electrostatically discharged, such that they are more easily conveyed through the conveying device, and in that they reduce the complexity in the fastening of bristle bundles in a carrier pad without anchoring, since the carrier pad on the rear side has material protrusions which are fused and thereafter interference-fitted in a bundle-fastening plane, in order for bristle bundles which have been incorporated into the perforations of the carrier pad to be connected in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner to the carrier pad in a simple manner.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Zahoransky AGInventor: Ingo Kumpf

Patent number: 9687071Abstract: A tufting tool for tufting and fastening clusters of bristles in bristle holes in a contoured surface of or oblique holes in a brush body. The tufting tool has a tool head displaceable along the tufting axis between a receiving and a tufting position. The tool head has two guide jaws which are displaceable relative to each other during displacement of the tool head. To relatively displace the guide jaws, the tool has a reversing lever connected to the tool head and a deflecting guide for the reversing lever, arranged at an angle of deflection with respect to the tufting axis. The guide jaws are coupled together via the reversing lever in such a manner and the reversing lever is guided such that an adjustment of the tool head into the tufting position advances one guide jaw in the tufting direction and retracts the other guide jaw counter to the tufting direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Zahoransky AGInventors: Robert Steinebrunner, Guido Sommer, Christoph Albrecht, Philipp Goldmann
