    Brush making machine
    The present invention relates to a machine for producing brushes with a transport device traveling along a closed path, with at least one brush-filling machine assigned to the transport device and with a plurality of treatment stations assigned to the transport device for the treatment of brush bodies and / or brushes and / or bristles, the transport device having transport housings for transporting the brush bodies and / or brushes, and with at least one transfer device for transferring the brushes and / or bristles; brush body and / or the brushes of the at least one brush-stuffing machine towards the transport device and with at least one extraction device for extracting the brush bodies and / or the treated brushes from the transport device, the machine for producing brushes having at least two vertical deflection devices for returning the transport device, and the transport device and the path having a returned and / or vertically curved pattern.
    Brush making machines of this type are known in the art, for example DE 10 2013 103 904 A1 and DE 10 2014 104 934 A1.
    The requirements concerning the quality of treatment of the brushes and / or brush body are more and more strict. This requires intensive work of finishing the brush bodies or brushes and stuffed hairs in them. This may require that these brush bodies or brushes, in order to achieve the desired product quality, be processed by a plurality of processing stations which are connected to each other via the transport device in a manner of the handling.
    For the treatment of brushes and / or brush bodies, the situation can be complicated by the fact that, due to the progress made over time, the stuffing speed of the brush filling machines used is becoming faster, and that, therefore, the cycle times during which the brushes or brush bodies stay at a treatment station and can be treated therein are shorter and shorter, and thus also the operating speeds of the transport devices. . This may require a further increase in the number of treatment stations that may exist for example in the form of grinding blocks and / or milling, for the desired finishing of the different brushes and / or brush body in order to obtain, in this reduced cycle time, a quality of treatment of the brush bodies and / or brushes, and respectively also bristles stuffed into the brush bodies and / or brushes, corresponding to the increasing requirements. To meet these boundary conditions, the transport device can be lengthened and pass in front of a larger number of processing stations, which, particularly when several stuffing machines are assigned to a transport device, can give rise to a problem. greater overall length of the machine for making brushes.
    Mechanical problems may further be associated with the lengthening of the transport device, which may complicate the correct adjustment and the necessary feed accuracy of the transport device. When the transport device is a transport chain or a chain conveyor particularly, it can be difficult, with such an extended transport device, to position, for example exactly at the different treatment stations, the different links. chain members at which the transport housings for brushes and / or brush bodies are usually formed.
    The present invention therefore aims to provide a brush making machine of the type mentioned in the introduction, which avoids the disadvantages described above and is better suited to a process of manufacturing brushes shorter rate.
    This object is achieved by the means and features of claim 1 and solved in particular by the fact that the machine for producing brushes, in addition to the at least two vertical deflection devices, also has at least two horizontal deflection devices for the return of the transport device, and in that the transport device and the path have a traced pattern and / or curved horizontally and vertically.
    In this way, the transport device of the brush-making machine can almost be extended at will and be arranged in a space where the machine for making brushes, in loops, elbows, turns, curves or generally along a path is installed. curved and / or arched. In addition to a particularly good use of the available installation space for the machine for making brushes, it is also possible to obtain a better ratio between a total length or the total dimensions of the machine for making brushes and the length effective transport device and the number of processing stations related thereto, as is generally the case in machines to manufacture brushes already known in practice.
    In a possible embodiment of the brush making machine according to the present invention, it is provided that the transport device can be returned or returned by means of the at least two vertical deflection devices and by means of the at least two devices. of a vertical return angle of at least 360 ° and that a sum of horizontal deflection angles amounts to any value, in particular between 1 ° and 180 ° or a multiple of 180 °, for example 720 °, preferably between 90 ° and 360 °. In another advantageous embodiment of the brush making machine, it can be provided that the transport device can be returned or returned by means of the at least two vertical deflection devices and by means of the at least two return devices. horizontal, so that a sum of horizontal deflection angles is at least 360 ° and a sum of vertical deflection angles amounts to any value, in particular between 1 ° and 180 ° or a multiple of 180 °, for example 720 °, preferably between 90 ° and 360 °.
    It should be noted at this point that, in the context of the brush making machine according to the present invention, a vertical deflection device is a deflection device with which the transport device of the brush making machine can be returned in or parallel to a vertical plane. Accordingly, therefore, in the context of the brush making machine according to the present invention, horizontal deflection means is a deflection device with which the conveying device of the brush making machine can be returned to or from the machine. parallel to a horizontal plane.
    In the previously described embodiments of the brush making machine according to the present invention, it can be provided that the transport device can be driven by means of at least one of the at least two vertical deflection devices and / or means of at least one of the at least two horizontal deflection devices. In a preferred embodiment of the brush making machine according to the present invention, it can be provided that the transport device can be driven by means of two of the above-mentioned return devices, which are arranged in such a way that they can be driven by means of a common drive motor and by means of two 90 ° gears. In this case, it may be particularly advantageous for the two return devices with which the transport device can be driven to be arranged in such a way that they have return axes that coincide.
    However, it is also possible for a drive motor to be assigned to each driven return device, whether it is a horizontal deflection device or a vertical deflection device, the drive motors of the drive. The transport device of the brush-making machine is then preferably all electronically coupled to each other to allow a smooth advance of the transport device.
    In one embodiment of the brush making machine of particular importance, it is provided that the transport device is formed as a chain conveyor. In this regard, the transport device can be guided on rails at least in sections and / or present chain links or carriages on rails connected to each other in an articulated manner. At the level of these chain links or rail carriages of the transport device, transport housings of the transport device may be formed on which brush bodies and / or brushes, in particular brush brush bodies, may be deposited. teeth or brushes formed as toothbrushes. Here preferably, a transport housing is formed respectively at each chain link or each rail carriage, so that the number of chain links or rail carriages coincides with the number of transport housing of the device. transport.
    It may be appropriate for two transport housings and / or chain links and / or successive rail carriages of the transport device to be connected to each other in an articulated manner by means of a hinge. Because of the horizontal deflection and the vertical deflection of the transport device that it undergoes during a passage along its closed course due to the vertical deflection devices and because of the horizontal deflection devices, it may be appropriate for two housing transport and / or chain links and / or trolleys on successive rails of the transport device are connected to each other in an articulated manner by means of a cardan joint. Thus, the chain links or rail carriages of the transport device connected to each other in a chain conveyor via cardan joints can be returned in both horizontal and vertical directions, and be movable with degrees of freedom.
    It may be advantageous that the machine for making brushes has as many treatment stations as the transport device has transport housing and / or chain links and / or rail carriages. It is thus possible to maximize the number of treatment stations that can simultaneously handle brushes and / or brush bodies.
    It may also be appropriate for the transport device to have an even number of transport seats and / or chain links and / or rail carriages.
    In order to be able to treat as many brush bodies and / or brushes as possible per unit of time, it may be appropriate for the brush making machine to have at least two tamping machines and for a series of treatment stations to be provided. provided for each brush stuffing machine. In this way, it is possible, with a machine to make brushes, to treat at least twice the number of brush bodies and / or brushes. If each of the available tamping machines makes the filling of different brush bodies and / or brushes, it is even possible, with a machine for making brushes, to simultaneously manufacture different brush bodies and / or brushes. It is furthermore possible, on the machine for producing brushes according to the present invention, to fill a first kind of bristles in the brush bodies and / or the brushes with one of the at least two tamping machines, then to treat them processing stations, then to coat the bristles and / or treated brushes with other bristles using the at least one second brush filling machine, and then to treat the brush bodies as desired and / or brushes filled with other bristles, in particular a second kind of bristles, during a second pass with the aid of the treatment stations of the machine for making brushes. Thus, the brush making machine according to the present invention is particularly suitable for the manufacture of brush bodies and / or brushes which have at least two types or kinds of different bristles. The bristles can here for example be different in their color, their thickness, their material, their geometry and / or in particular also their length.
    It may be appropriate that at least one of the at least two vertical deflectors and / or at least one of the at least two horizontal deflectors comprises / comprise a star wheel and that the transport device, in particular the transport housings and / or chain links and / or rail carriages of the transport device, have / have coupling elements which cooperate with star wheel arms / star wheels. Thus, the transport device can be returned and driven by means of the star wheel or star wheels respectively. The coupling elements can here preferably be formed as coupling pins, as coupling cylinders and / or as coupling ball bearings.
    When the star wheel arms or star wheels have recesses into which the coupling elements engage during the rotation of the star wheel / starwheels, the transport device may be returned in a particular manner. safe and also be driven in a particularly reliable manner.
    It can be provided that a coupling element is respectively formed at each of two opposite sides of transport housing and / or chain links and / or rail carriages of the transport device.
    Preferably, it can be provided here that the two coupling elements of a transport housing and / or a chain link and / or a rail carriage are spaced from one another by a slide . This slide is here preferably made of an elastic material and / or damper such as plastic. It may be appropriate for the above-mentioned slider to be arranged at an intersection of a hinge, for example of the articulation formed as hinge to the gimbal already mentioned above. Thus, the slider can on the one hand allow a transmission of force between two transport housing and / or chain links and / or trolleys on adjacent rails of the transport device and simultaneously exert a damping action that can promote a regular race and little subject to vibration of the transport device. Thus, the slider previously described may have a dual function between two transport housing and / or chain links and / or adjacent rail carriages.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the machine for making brushes, it can be provided that at least one of the at least two vertical return devices respectively has a curved guide rail, preferably at 180 °, and / or a pair curved guide rails, preferably at 180 °, arranged in opposite directions for guiding and for returning the transport device. In addition to this or alternatively, it can also be provided that at least one of the at least two horizontal deflection devices respectively has a curved guide rail, preferably at 180 °, and / or a pair of curved guide rails , preferably at 180 °, arranged in opposite directions for guiding and for returning the transport device. It may be advantageous for the transport device to have a plurality of horizontal guide elements and / or vertical guide elements. The horizontal guiding elements and / or the vertical guiding elements may be formed as guide shafts and / or guide rollers and / or guide ball bearings.

    In order to ensure particularly reliable guidance of the transport device, it may be appropriate for each transport housing and / or each chain link and / or rail trolley to have one or both sides facing a groove. vertical guide, respectively a vertical guide member, and at one or each side facing a horizontal guide groove, respectively a horizontal guide member.
    In order to be able to compensate for variations in the length of the transport device during the return of the transport device, it may be appropriate for a vertical guide groove, for example the vertical guide groove (s) already mentioned above. a guide rail, for example a guide rail already mentioned above and / or vertical guide grooves already mentioned previously of a pair of guide rails, for example of the pair of guide rails already mentioned above, comprises / comprise at least one compensation zone with a correction curve. This compensation zone may here extend over a portion of the vertical guide groove / vertical guide grooves which includes a sector ranging from 30 ° to 60 °, particularly preferably a sector of 45 °.
    It may also be appropriate for an even number of transport housings and / or chain links and / or rail carriages of the transport device to be positionable on a path section of the path encompassing a sector of 180 °. It may be particularly appropriate for a transport housing and / or a chain link and / or a rail carriage to be positionable in a path section of the path surrounding a sector of 45 °. In other words, this may mean that a section of path surrounding a sector of 45 ° of the path on which the transport housing is traveling is dimensioned such that exactly a transport housing and / or a chain link and or a carriage on rails of the transport device enters this section of course.
    If a guide rail, for example the guide rail already mentioned above, or a pair of guide rails, for example the pair of guide rails already mentioned above, are movable horizontally and / or vertically and / or resiliently mounted, this allows adjustment and, where appropriate, also easy readjustment of the guide rail and / or the pair of guide rails, for example, to allow a smooth and accurate travel of the transport device.
    A compensation curve, for example the compensation curve already mentioned above, may have a deflecting path of an arc, in particular a path that is flatter than an arc, in order to compensate for any variations in the length of the transport device occurring during of a circulation of horizontal deflectors in particular.
    For application and in particular for uniform transfer of driving forces required, it may be appropriate for the transport device to be driven by means of at least two star wheels.
    In addition, it can be provided that the transfer device, which is assigned to the at least one stuffing machine, is formed as a transfer grapple and that the extraction device is formed as an extraction grapple. Here, the transfer device, and also the extraction device, can be arranged on the brush stuffing machine.

It may be appropriate here that the transfer grapple and / or the extraction grapple is / are equipped for handling brush bodies and / or brushes and / or clamping elements provided with brush bodies and / or brushes.
    In this context, it should be noted that it is of course possible to install, if necessary, clamping elements provided with brush bodies and / or brushes on the transport housing of the transport device of the machine to be manufactured. brushes according to the present invention, because the transport device and the transport housing of the transport device are equipped to house not only brush bodies and / or brushes, but even such clamping elements as well, and for transport them between the different processing stations of the machine to make brushes.
    It should also be noted that the brush bodies or brushes that can be processed or manufactured with the brush-making machine according to the present invention can in particular be toothbrushes. The brushes as a whole, as well as the brush bodies and / or the bristles stuffed into the brushes and / or the brush bodies, can then be treated in different stages using the processing stations of the machine to be manufactured. brushes according to the present invention.

    FIG. 1 illustrates a machine for manufacturing brushes designated in its entirety by reference 1 with a transport device 3 traveling along a closed path 2. The machine for producing brushes 1 has a total of two brush filling machines 4 and 5 assigned to the transport device 3 and a plurality of processing stations 6 and 7 assigned to the transport device 3.
    The treatment stations 6 are here represented very schematically in the form of beads and the treatment stations 7 very schematically in the form of pyramids.
    In the embodiment of the brush making machine according to the present invention shown in Fig. 1, the processing stations 6 are assigned to the brush stuffing machine 5 and the processing stations 7 are assigned to the stuffing machine. of brushes 4.
    The treatment stations 6 and 7 serve for the treatment of brush bodies and / or brushes 8 which can be deposited on transport housings 9 of the transport device 3 for transporting the brushes 8 between the different treatment stations 6 and 7 In Figure 1, brushes 8 are placed on the transport housing 9 of the transport device 3 and are tightened so that their bristles 8a are freely accessible for treatment of the bristles 8a. The brushes 8 are formed as toothbrushes. Of course, however, it is also possible, with the machine for producing brushes 1 shown in FIG. 1, to also treat only brush bodies or parts of brushes.
    The brush making machine further has a first transfer device 10 at the brush filling machine 4, and at the brush filling machine 5 a second transfer device 11, with which brush bodies and / or brushes 8 can be deposited by the brush filling machines 4, 5 on the transport housing 9 of the transport device 3 for further treatment of the brushes 8 or bristles 8a or, if necessary also , brush bodies. Each of the two brush filling machines 4 and 5 also has an extraction device 12, 13 for extracting the treated brush bodies, in this case for extracting the treated brushes 8, from the transport device 3.
    It is thus possible, with the aid of the two brush filling machines 4 and 5, to first fill brush bodies or brushes 8 with bristles 8a, to then transfer the brush bodies and / or the brushes. 8 with the aid of the transfer devices 10, 11 to the transport device 3, in order to carry out the finishing of the bristles 8 a stuffed in the brush bodies and / or the brushes 8 and also the brush bodies and / or brushes 8 themselves with the aid of the different treatment stations 6, 7 and, in this way, to complete the different brushes 8.
    Once the finishing of the brushed bodies and / or brushes 8 has been completed, they can then be removed from the transport housing 9 of the transport device 3 of the brush machine 1 using the extraction devices 12, 13 and remote from the machine for making brushes 1, or else be transferred to the brush filling machine 4, 5, the extraction device 12, 13 has removed the corresponding brush 8 of the transport device 3, to be stuffed by it with other hairs. Then, the brush bodies and / or brushes 8 can be deposited again on the transport housing 9 of the transport device with the aid of the transfer device 10,11 corresponding to another treatment passage and to do so. subject to subsequent treatment with the corresponding processing stations 6, 7 until they can finally be removed from the machine for making brushes 1 using one of the extraction 12, 13 after completion of the various brushes 8.
    In order to keep the total length of the brush-making machine according to the invention as short as possible, even with a large number of individual processing stations 6, 7, the brush-making machine 1 has two vertical return devices 14 and two horizontal deflectors 15, by means of which the transport device 3 is arranged in a path 2 to the pattern returned to the two brush filling machines 4 and 5. Thus the transport device 3 is arranged so that the transport device 3 and the path 2 have a traced pattern or curved both horizontally and vertically.
    Thus, the brush making machine 1 may have a short total length relative to the length of the transport device 3 and the comparatively large number of processing stations 6 and 7 and be installed with a small footprint in a relatively small space.
    The layout of the path 2 of the transport device 3 shown in FIG. 1 shows that the transport device 3 is returned by means of the two vertical deflection devices 14 and by means of the two horizontal deflection devices 15 so that a sum of of vertical deflection angles and a sum of horizontal deflection angles are respectively 360 °. This means that the two horizontal deflection devices 15 return the transport device 3 respectively by 180 °, just like each of the two vertical deflection devices 14. This makes it possible to pass the transport device 3 onto the closed endless path 2 before the different treatment stations 6 and 7.
    FIG. 8 illustrates a schematic trajectory of a transport device of a machine for making brushes already known from the state of the art, which has no horizontal return, but two vertical references. FIGS. 9 to 11 show various exemplary embodiments of possible trajectories of transport devices 3 of machines for making the brushes 1 according to the present invention. It is clear here that each of the exemplary embodiments shown therein presents not only two vertical deflectors 14, but also at least two horizontal deflectors 15.
    FIG. 9 illustrates here the schematic representation of the trajectory of the transport device 3 of the machine for producing brushes 1 represented in FIG. 1.
    The trajectory of the transport device 3 shown in FIG. 10 is similar to the trajectory of the transport device 3 represented in FIG. 9, the two horizontal deflection devices 15 of FIG. 9 having here been completed by two other horizontal deflection devices. 15, so that the transport device 3, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 10, is returned a total of four times of respectively 90 °, which makes it possible to carry out a further extension of the transport device 3, and thus , an even greater number of different processing stations 6 and 7 at the level of the transport device 3, since respectively two directly successive horizontal deflection devices 15 are connected to each other by a central part of the path 16 with a rectilinear layout. At this central piece of path 16 can then be arranged other processing stations 6, 7.
    In the exemplary embodiment of a transport device 3 according to the present invention according to FIG. 11, five total horizontal deflection devices 15 are provided, which return the transport device 3 by 540 ° in total, so that the transport device 3 also runs on a closed path 2, but that, in addition to its vertical alignment direction, it also changes several times its horizontal vertical direction of alignment.
    In the embodiment of the machine for producing brushes 1 according to the present invention according to Figure 1, it is provided that the transport device 3 is driven by means of the two horizontal deflection devices 15. The two horizontal deflection devices 15 are here arranged with coinciding return axes, so that they can be driven together by means of a common drive motor 17 and two gears at 90 ° 18.
    In exemplary embodiments of the machine for producing brushes 1 not shown in the figures, it is provided that at least one of the at least two vertical return devices 14 is equipped for driving the transport device 3. It is basically also possible that each horizontal deflection device 15 or driven vertical deflection device 14 is driven respectively with a drive motor 17 own. It is therefore advisable, however, to electronically couple all the drive motors 17 together so that the transport device 3 can be driven regularly.
    The transport device 3 of the brush making machine 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is formed as a chain conveyor 19 which is guided on rails at least in sections. The chain conveyor 19 has chain links 20 connected to each other in an articulated manner, which, in the present embodiment of the transport device 3, are formed as rail carriages 21. At the formed chain links 20 as trolleys on rails 21 are formed the transport housing 9 of the transport device 3, a transport housing 9 being respectively formed at each chain link 20.
    The representations according to FIGS. 6 and 7 in particular make it clear that two successive transport housings 9, which are formed at two successive chain links 20 or rail carriages 21 of the transport device 3, are connected to each other by means of articulated manner by means of a hinge 22. The hinge 22 is a hinge joint 23 which allows a relative movement of two adjacent chain links 20 around two pivot axes 24 and 25 oriented at right angles to each other. report to the other. According to FIG. 6, the two chain links 20 are here represented in tilting around their common horizontal pivot axis. In FIG. 7, the two adjacent chain links 20 are shown in tilting relation to each other about their vertical pivot axis 24.
    FIG. 1 explains that the machine for producing brushes 1 has as many treatment stations 6, 7 as the transport device 3 has transport housings 9, chain links 20 and rail carriages 21.
    In the machine for producing brushes 1 shown in FIG. 1, the two horizontal deflection devices 15 respectively have a star wheel 26. The chain links 20 or trolley 21 of the transport device 3 are provided with coupling 27 which can cooperate with arms 28 of the two star wheels 26 to return the transport device 3 on the one hand and also to be able to drive on the other hand. In the exemplary embodiment of the machine for producing brushes 1 according to FIG. 1, the coupling elements 27 are formed as coupling axes. However, it is also possible to replace the coupling pins with coupling cylinders and / or coupling ball bearings.
    The detailed views of the two star wheels 26 according to Figures 3 and 4 show that the star wheels 26 have recesses 29 at the free ends of their arms 28, in which the coupling elements 27 of the chain links 20 engage. or respectively carriages on rails 21 during their rotation around the respective starwheel 26 of the horizontal deflection device 15. With the aid of the recesses 29, the coupling elements 27 can, on the one hand, be guided in a safe manner and on the other hand also reliably transmit to the coupling elements 27, and thus to the transport device 3, the driving force, required for driving, of the star wheels 16 driven via the drive motor 17 and two gears at 90 ° 18.
    In particular, FIGS. 3 and 4 explain in particular that a coupling element 27 is formed respectively at each of two opposite sides 30, 31 of each of the transport housing 9, chain links 20 or rail carriages 21 of the transport device. Thus, each rail carriage 21 has a coupling member 27 at its upper face and a coupling element 27 at its lower face, so that each rail carriage 21 can be driven by means of two star wheels 26.
    The two coupling elements 27 of a chain link 20 and a rail carriage 21 are spaced from one another by a slide 32. The slides 32 of the processing machine 1 are composed here of a resilient and damping material such as plastic and are arranged at an intersection 33 of the hinge 22 formed as a cardan joint 23.
    The two vertical deflectors 14 have for guiding and for the return of the transport device 3 respectively a guide rail 34 curved by 180 °. The transport device 3 is provided with a plurality of horizontal guide members 35 and a plurality of vertical guide members 36, the horizontal guide members 35 and the vertical guide members 36 being formed as guide rolls 37.
    The guide rails 34 described above respectively have a total of two vertical guide grooves 38 arranged in opposite manner for the vertical guide elements 36 of the transport device 3 and a central horizontal guide groove 39 for the horizontal guide elements 35 of the device. transport 3.
    The representation of the rail carriage 21 guided in the guide rail 34 according to FIG. 5 here illustrates the vertical guide elements 36 in their position of use in the two vertical guide grooves 38 and the horizontal guide element 35 in its position of use in the horizontal guide groove 39 of the guide rail 34.
    Thus, it is clearly seen that each chain link 20 formed as a rail carriage 21 of the conveyor device 3 formed as a chain conveyor 19 respectively has a vertical guide member 36 at each side facing a vertical guide groove 38 when the passage on the guide rails 34, and a horizontal guide member 35 at each side facing a horizontal guide groove 39 as it passes over the guide rails 34.
    The detailed view of one of the two guide rails 34 according to Figure 2 further shows that the vertical guide grooves 38 of the guide rails 34 respectively comprise two compensation zones 40 with a correction curve 41. The compensation zones 40 make it possible to compensate for the variations in length of the transport device 3 during the return of the transport device 3. A compensation zone 40 here extends over a portion of the vertical guide grooves 38 which includes a sector of 45 °.
    A section of path 42 encompassing 180 ° of the path 2 is here dimensioned so that an even number of transport housing 9, chain links 20 and rail carriages 21 enter this path section 42 encompassing a sector of 180 ° of the path 2. It is thus possible to position four carriages on rails 21 in total in a path section 42 encompassing a sector of 180 ° of the path 2, or respectively a carriage on rails 21 of the transport device 3 in a section course encompassing an area of 45 ° of course 2.
    In one embodiment of the brush making machine 1 according to the present invention, it is provided that the guide rails 34 or a pair of guide rails 34 are movable horizontally and / or vertically to adjust the guide rails 34 and adapt them to the desired layout of the transport device 3.
    It is also possible that the guide rails 34 and / or a pair of guide rails 34 are resiliently mounted. It is thus possible to compensate for the tolerances and inaccuracies of the layout of the transport device 3 and also to dampen shaking if necessary.
    The correction curve 41 previously described in the compensation zone 40 has a deflecting path of an arc, in particular a path flatter than an arc.
    The transfer devices 10 and 11 and the extraction devices 12 and 13 of the two brush filling machines 4, 5 are formed as transfer grabs, respectively as extraction grapples. It is possible here, using the transfer grapples and also using the extraction grabs, to handle brush bodies, brushes 8, but also clamping elements 43 provided with brush bodies and / or brushes 8.
    In the brush making machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, brushes 8 which have been jammed by the brush filling machine 4 are delivered by the transfer device 10 of the brush filling machine 4. on the transport device 3. The brushes 8 delivered by the transfer device 10 are then processed by the treatment stations 6 represented in the form of balls, and then extracted from the transport device 3 by the extraction device 13 which is assigned to the brush filling machine 5. Similarly, the brushes 8 having been jammed by the brush filling machine 5, with the aid of the transfer device 11 arranged on the brush filling machine 5, are delivered on the transport device 3 to be transported by it to the pyramidal processing stations 7. Thus, the brushes 8 delivered by the brush filling machine 5, in a possible use of the machine for making brushes 1, are processed by the treatment stations 7 represented in pyramidal form and then removed from the transport device 3 by the device extraction device 12 which is arranged on the brush filling machine 4. It is thus possible for the transport device 3 to be clocked according to a so-called "two-step" rhythm, that is to say that a brush 8 a first treatment station 6, 7 is transported to another treatment station 6, 7 located two treatment stations further.
    Thus, the brush filling machine 4 can transfer the brush bodies and / or the brushes 8 to the treatment stations 6, while the brush filling machine 5 transfers the brush bodies and / or brushes to the treatment stations 7. 8 having been stuffed by itself. In this way, the different processing stations 6, 7 can be set on the corresponding brush filling machines 4, 5. It is possible here that a brush body and / or a brush 8 is first subjected to a jam on a brush filling machine 4 or 5 and receives from it for example bristles 8a shorter or bundles of bristles composed of short bristles 8a. The corresponding treatment stations 6, 7 can then undertake the necessary treatment steps for these shorter hairs 8a or these bundles of bristles, for example milling and grinding steps. After having gone through these processing steps, the brush body and / or the brush 8 can then be stuffed onto the other stuffing machine 4, 5, for example with bundles of bristles or bristles 8a. longer, then to undertake the necessary treatment steps for these hairs 8a or longer bundles of hairs, for example milling and grinding steps.
    In order to bring the total length of the brush-making machine 1 to a minimum and to optimize the operation of an installation surface of the brush-making machine 1, it is envisaged that it has at least two return devices. vertical 14 and at least two horizontal deflectors 15 to return a transport device 3 of the machine for making brushes 1, and that the transport device 3 and the path 2 along which the transport device 3 runs have a path returned or curved horizontally and vertically.
