The broken line shown in FIGS. 2–4 represents the bounds of the claim and forms no part thereof.

Pluralities of individual bristles shown, for convenience, only partially in each of the tufts continue throughout and fill respective tufts in accordance with the contours outlined by the endless straight / curved lines.

The shading of differential-density stippled patterns indicates differential colors of the tufts of bristles.
