Twisted brush, method for producing a twisted brush and device for producing a twisted brush
The invention relates to screwed-in brushes, in particular mascara brushes or interdental brushes, with a bristle holder comprising at least two wire sections twisted together, a bristle covering being formed on a distal section of the bristle holder.
The invention also relates to a
Procedure for
Making a twisted

Bristle holder twisted from at least two
Wire sections, in particular one of those previously described

Brush making machine for

Brushes, especially those described above
Art.
Twisted brushes are known in various embodiments from the prior art. Among other things, they are used as so-called interdental brushes in the dental field and as so-called mascara brushes in the cosmetic field.
The invention addresses the task of
Improve handling of twisted brushes and simplify the manufacture of such brushes.
To solve the problem, a brush with the means and features of claim 1 is first
BE2018 / 5086 proposed. Accordingly, it is particularly provided that at least one wire section of the at least two wire sections of the screwed-in brush has at least two regions with different cross sections.
The different cross sections can be shaped differently or shaped identically and different sizes. A region of one of the wire sections, which forms a proximal section of the bristle holder, can be provided, for example, with a cross section that is particularly suitable for fastening a handle to the bristle holder. In a region of the at least one wire section, which for example forms a distal section of the bristle carrier, the wire section can have a cross section which has particularly positive properties with regard to the attachment of the bristle trimmings to the bristle carrier and / or to a particularly small passable with the brush Hole diameter leads. A particularly small passable hole diameter is particularly desirable for those screwed-in brushes that are used as interdental brushes and are also to be inserted into small interdental spaces. Oval and / or elliptical cross-sections are particularly suitable for this.
Areas of a wire section which have different cross sections can also be understood to mean infinitesimally small areas of a wire section in the context of the claimed invention.
BE2018 / 5086
In particular, the handling of such a screwed-in brush can thus be simplified. This is particularly the case when it is used as an interdental brush, which is to be inserted into the interdental spaces with its distal portion of its bristle holder.
It can also be advantageous if the at least one of the at least two wire sections already has the at least two regions with different cross sections before the wire sections are twisted to form the bristle carrier. In this way, subsequent and possibly not sufficiently precise deformation of the bristle carrier can be avoided.
To improve the handling of screwed-in brushes of the type mentioned, in particular if they are used as interdental brushes which are to be inserted into the interdental spaces with their distal portion of their bristle holder, a brush with the means and features of claim 2 is also proposed. In particular, a brush is proposed in which the wire sections forming the bristle holder have oval and / or elliptical cross-sections, at least in regions which form the distal section of the bristle holder.
At this point it should be mentioned that the features of independent claims 1 and 2 can be combined with one another in a particularly advantageous manner. For example, a screwed-in brush can be provided with its bristle holder on the one hand
BE2018 / 5086 is optimized with regard to the attachment of a handle to the bristle carrier and on the other hand with regard to the smallest possible passable hole diameter.
The use of
Wire sections with elliptical and / or oval
Cross sections at least in the distal
Section of the
Bristle carrier leads to one

of the bristle holder
The minimization of the outer dimension in its distal section leads to a smaller passable hole diameter which is smaller in comparison to conventional brushes
Brush. Thus, the brush according to the invention can be more easily, for example, even in tight spaces with at least comparable stability and durability of the brush
Interdental spaces are introduced. This is for comfortable handling of such a screwed-in
Brush desirable as an interdental brush.
By using wire sections with an oval or elliptical cross-section, individual filaments of the bristle material, which is clamped between the two wire sections when the two wire sections are twisted, can be better placed directly on the outside of the twisted wire sections. This improved installation of the individual bristle filaments on the outside of the
BE2018 / 5086 twisted wire sections can succeed particularly well if the twisted wire sections with their elliptical cross sections are arranged relative to one another and then twisted together such that one of two secondary vertices of the elliptical cross section of a wire section is a secondary vertex of the at least one further wire section with an elliptical cross section is facing.
The use of wire sections which also have oval and / or elliptical cross sections in the proximal section of the bristle holder can facilitate the attachment of a handle to a proximal section of the bristle holder. This is particularly the case when the handle is molded onto the proximal section of the bristle holder.
The aforementioned object is also achieved with a brush, which has the means and features of claim 3. This brush is characterized in particular by the fact that its bristle holder has an anti-pull-out device spaced apart from its proximal end. With the pull-out protection, the bristle holder can be reliably fixed to a handle that can or is arranged on a proximal section of the bristle holder. In this way, the bristle holder can be prevented from unintentionally detaching from the handle during use of the brush. The use of a pull-out safety device arranged in this way is of particular advantage if the handle of the screwed-in brush on the proximal section of the bristle holder
BE2018 / 5086 is injected. The pull-out safety device is at a distance from the proximal end of the bristle holder. The bristle carrier can therefore be made comparatively slim in its proximal section. This makes it possible to provide a slim grip on the proximal section of the bristle holder. In the proximal section of the bristle holder, comparatively little material has to be used for the handle in the brush according to the invention. The pull-out safety device can then be moved into an area which lies between the bristle trim and the proximal section of the bristle holder.
It may be expedient if at least one, preferably all, of the wire sections which are twisted together to produce the respective bristle carrier have at least two regions with differently shaped cross sections. The pull-out safety device can be formed by a change in cross-section of the bristle carrier along its longitudinal extent, which twisted together from the different cross-sections of the at least one wire section
Wire sections result.
It can be advantageous if several or all of them
Wire sections an identical
Profiling, so identical
Areas with different
Have cross sections.
So it is possible, for example
To use wire sections, each round in one area
BE2018 / 5086 have a circular, oval or elliptical cross-section and are provided with a different cross-section in an adjacent area. If two such wire sections with their respective identical cross sections are placed next to one another and then twisted in this way, a bristle carrier is formed which has at least one change in cross section along its longitudinal extent. At this point it should be pointed out that the cross section of the bristle carrier can also be understood to mean the cross section of an imaginary envelope of the bristle carrier.
The bristle carrier can be between its distal
Section and its proximal
Section one
Have middle section.
Between the
Middle section and the proximal
Section, a proximal shoulder can be designed as a pull-out safety device. The handle of the screwed in can be positioned over this proximal shoulder
Breasts form-fitting with the
Bristle holder can be connected and connected in the position of use.
This is particularly the case if the
Bristle holder in its proximal section

In this context, it can be advantageous if the bristle carrier in its central section for generating the pull-out protection has an outer dimension which is measurable in a spatial direction oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent of the bristle carrier and which is smaller than one measured in the same spatial direction
BE2018 / 5086
Outside dimension of the bristle carrier is in its adjacent proximal section. With such
Dimensions of the bristle carrier in its proximal section and in its adjacent central section can be used to provide a particularly reliable positive locking of a handle on the proximal section of the pull-out protection provided in this way
Bristle carrier can be reached.
Furthermore, it is possible for the bristle carrier to have a distal shoulder between the middle section and the distal section. To produce such a distal shoulder between the middle section and the distal section, an outer dimension of the bristle holder in its central section that is measurable in a spatial direction oriented to the longitudinal extent of the bristle holder can be smaller or larger than an outer dimension of the bristle holder in its distal section measured in the same spatial direction. The distal shoulder can be used, for example, as a positioning aid for engaging an injection mold in order to inject a handle onto the proximal section of the bristle holder.
The wire sections can at least partially have circular or elliptical or oval or also semicircular cross sections in their regions which form the proximal section of the bristle carrier. In particular for injection molding a handle onto a mascara brush, the use of wire sections with the proximal section of the
BE2018 / 5086
Bristle-forming areas, the semicircular

In this way, the at least two wire sections can be placed against one another with their, preferably non-curved, flat sides and twisted such that a free area or free area corresponds to a difference area between the cross-sectional area of an imaginary one

It can be particularly advantageous if the

The central section of the bristle carrier has the semicircular cross sections described above. So you can get a particularly sharp one
Generate geometry transition in the form of a shoulder between the central section and the proximal section of the bristle holder, which enables reliable protection against pulling out of the bristle holder from the subsequently attached or molded handle of the screwed-in brush.
In order to minimize the passable hole diameter of the brush, that is to say the dimension through which the brush according to the invention can just be carried out with its distal section, areas, in particular distal areas, of the wire sections which form the distal section of the bristle holder can be oval and / or or have elliptical cross sections. It should be pointed out that the wire sections twisted together in the distal section of the bristle carrier can each face one another with one of their secondary apices of their elliptical cross section. In this way, an outer diameter or an outer dimension of the bristle carrier can be kept particularly small in its distal section and the minimally passable hole diameter of the screwed-in brush can be minimized.
The previously mentioned brush can be on the, in particular around this
Handle of the screwed-in bristle holder attached to be injected so that it at least partially surrounds the proximal section and the pull-out protection. Particularly advantageous
It can be BE2018 / 5086 if the handle is fastened to the bristle holder, in particular injection molded around it, in such a way that it at least partially surrounds the proximal shoulder and also at least part of the central section of the bristle holder.
In principle, the use of at least two separate wire sections for producing the bristle carrier is conceivable. In particular, when using the brush according to the invention as an interdental brush, it can be advantageous if the wire sections are two interconnected legs of a piece of wire bent along a bending line. The bending line can preferably be formed on a distal end of the bristle carrier. In this way, sharp edges, which may represent a risk of injury when using the brush as an interdental brush, can be avoided at the distal end of the bristle holder.
It is also possible that the bending line described above is arranged in the middle of the wire piece. In this context, it should be pointed out that the individual regions with different cross sections, if such are provided, can then be introduced into the wire section in the wire sections, preferably with mirror symmetry to the bending line.
Furthermore, it can be provided that the at least two wire sections are twisted together over a partial area of their respective lengths. This with
BE2018 / 5086 the goal of attaching the bristle trim to the bristle holder. However, it is also possible for the at least two wire sections which form the bristle carrier of the brush to be twisted together over their entire length. This can simplify the attachment of a handle to the bristle holder.
At least two or more or all of the wire sections of the brush can have identical profiles or different profiles, as has already been described above. In this way, screwed-in brushes with differently designed bristle carriers can be provided in a particularly simple manner by combining different or also identically designed wire sections.
In one embodiment of the screwed-in brush it can further be provided that at least one wire section of the at least two wire sections tapers in the direction of its distal end. In this way, at least the distal end of the bristle carrier can have the smallest possible dimension, as a result of which the hole diameter that can be passed with the screwed-in brush can be minimized. This is particularly advantageous in order to create a screwed-in brush that acts as an interdental brush for particularly tight
Interdental spaces is suitable. It can in particular be provided that the at least one tapering
Wire section is conical, frustoconical, pyramid-shaped or truncated pyramid-shaped.
BE2018 / 5086
In particular in the case of such a brush, which has at least one wire section tapering, preferably towards its distal end, the different cross sections of the at least two regions of the wire section can have the same cross-sectional shape, but different cross-sectional areas. This is the case, for example, with those brushes in which at least one of the wire sections of the bristle carrier is conical, frustoconical, pyramid-shaped or truncated pyramid-shaped.
Especially in the case of a wire section which has a shape tapering in the course of its longitudinal axis, the areas with different cross sections can be infinitesimally small areas.
Furthermore, with the brush, in particular one which has at least the features of claim 1, it can be provided that the wire sections deviate from an oval or elliptical cross-sectional shape or no oval and / or at least in regions which form the distal section of the bristle carrier. or have elliptical cross sections. The wire sections can thus have, for example, circular or square or rectangular cross sections in these areas.
The production, in particular, of turned-in brushes can be made simple by a method with the means and features of the independent method claim. In particular
BE2018 / 5086 proposes a method for producing a screwed-in brush with a bristle holder from twisted wire sections, in which at least two wire sections are twisted together to form a bristle holder, at least one of which is a profiled wire section which has at least two regions with differently shaped cross sections , It can also be provided that several or all of the wire sections to be twisted are profiled in this way.
The at least one of the wire sections can be delivered profiled and twisted or else profiled in such a way that the wire section has at least two areas with differently shaped cross sections after it has been profiled.
Preferably, however, several or even all wire sections are profiled in such a way that after they have been profiled they each have at least two regions with differently shaped cross sections. The profiles that each of the wire sections receives can preferably be identical.
After profiling it is possible, for example,

It can be advantageous if the same cross-sections have the same or

In an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is provided that the wire sections are connected to one another in a piece of wire, that the wire piece is bent along a bending line after the wire sections have been profiled, in order to convert the wire sections into those required for mutual twisting
To bring relative position to each other. So there is one on both sides of the bending line

The wire sections can be profiled by means of a wire shaping device and / or a wire alignment device.
Depending on the application, the wire sections, preferably on both sides, in particular the one above
BE2018 / 5086 mentioned, bending line, by means of a
Wire forming device and / or one
Wire alignment device are provided in each area with a circular cross section and / or in each area with an oval and / or in each area with an elliptical cross section and / or in each area with a semicircular cross section.
The wire sections can be pulled off a supply roll before they are profiled. It can be advantageous to straighten the wire sections by means of a wire alignment device, for example the one already mentioned above. In this context, straightening the wire sections can mean that a basic radius of the wire sections is removed, in particular if they are pulled off a wire roll and fed to the wire shaping device.
As a further improvement in the field of the production of twisted brushes, a brush manufacturing machine of the type mentioned at the beginning is also proposed with the means and features of the independent claim directed to such a machine. This brush manufacturing machine is set up for the production of screwed-in brushes, in particular those according to one of claims 1 to 17, and is particularly characterized in that the brush manufacturing machine
Has wire forming device with which in at least one area of a wire section to be profiled a cross section of the wire section to be profiled

The Fig.
to 13 show a screwed-in brush designated as a whole, as used, for example, as a mascara brush or as
Interdental brush
BE2018 / 5086 is used. This brush 1 has a bristle carrier 2 made of two wire sections 3 twisted together. A bristle stock 5 is formed on a distal section 4 of the bristle holder 2 and a handle 7 is formed on a proximal section 6 of the bristle holder 2.
In the case of the screwed-in brush 1 shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the handle 7 is injection-molded around the proximal section 6 of the bristle carrier 2. The injection mold 8 shown in FIG. 10, into which the bristle carrier 2 with its proximal section 6 can be inserted, is used for this purpose. Injection molding material can be introduced into the interior of the injection mold 8 via the injection opening 9 and the injection nozzle attached thereto, and the handle 7 can be produced by injection molding around the proximal section 6 of the bristle carrier 2 and connected to it.
In one embodiment of the brush 1 according to the invention, the use of a bristle carrier 2 is provided, as is shown in sections and in a highly schematic manner in FIG. 3. The wire sections 3 each have an elliptical cross section, at least in regions 4a which form the distal section 4 of the bristle carrier 2. By using such wire sections 3, which are elliptically shaped in cross section, a hole diameter that can be passed with the brush 1 and that is to be kept as small as possible, in particular for the use of the brush 1 according to the invention as an interdental brush,
BE2018 / 5086 can be minimized. These areas 4a of
Wire sections 3 can also be referred to as distal regions 4a.
1 and 2 show sections of bristle carriers 2, which are made from wire sections 3 with a circular cross-section (see FIG. 1) and from wire sections 3 with a semicircular cross-section (see FIG. 2).
4 to 6 each show the sections of bristle carriers shown in FIGS
Front view.
In these
Figures are the two wire sections 3 each of one representing an imaginary envelope
Circle surrounded. On the basis of the free area or open area identified by reference numeral 10, which is composed of a
Difference between the area delimited by the envelope and the total cross-sectional area of the two wire sections 3, it becomes clear that when using wire sections 3 with a circular cross-section, the free area 10 is largest. The smallest possible free area 10 is achieved when using wire sections 3 with a semicircular cross section (cf. FIG. 5). Hardly any free area 10 uncovered by the total cross section of the two wire sections 3 can be seen.
For injection molding a handle 7 on the proximal

The screwed-in brush 1 shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 has a bristle carrier 2 which has a pull-out safety device 12 at a distance from its proximal end 11. This pull-out safety device 12 is in the form of a change in cross-sectional geometry along the longitudinal extent of the bristle carrier 2. With the pull-out protection 12, the bristle carrier 2 can be prevented from being pulled out of the handle 7 arranged by injection molding on the proximal section 6 of the bristle carrier.
The pull-out safety device 12 enables a positive connection between the bristle carrier 2 and the overmolded handle 7.
In the embodiment of the brush 1, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the wire sections 3 each have three regions 4a, 6a and 13a, each with differently shaped cross sections. The pull-out protection 12 is caused by one due to the different cross sections
BE2018 / 5086
Cross-sectional change of the bristle carrier 2 is formed along its longitudinal extent. As a result, the bristle holder 2 has a central section 13 between its distal section 4 and its proximal section 6, which represents a cross-sectional tapering of the bristle holder 2. Between the middle section 13 and the proximal section 6, a proximal shoulder 14 is formed as a pull-out safety device 12. After injection molding onto the proximal section 6 of the bristle holder 2, the handle 7 is positively connected to the bristle holder 2 via this proximal shoulder 14. 10 and 11 in particular show that the bristle carrier 2 in its central section 13 has an outer dimension which is measurable in a spatial direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the bristle carrier 2 and which is smaller than an outer dimension of the bristle carrier 2 in its adjacent proximal section 6 measured in the same spatial direction is.
The bristle carrier 2 also has a distal shoulder 15 between the middle section 13 and the distal section 4. To produce the distal shoulder 15, an outer dimension of the bristle holder 2 in its central section 13, which is measurable in a spatial direction oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent of the bristle holder 2, is smaller than an outer dimension of the bristle holder 2 in its distal section 4 measured in the same spatial direction. The distal shoulder 15 can be as Serve positioning stop for the injection mold 8 shown in Fig. 10. 10 to 13
In the embodiment of the brush 1 illustrated in BE2018 / 5086, the wire sections 3 each have circular cross sections in their regions 6a, which form the proximal section 6 of the bristle holder 2. These areas 6a can also be referred to as proximal areas 6a of the wire sections 3.
The wire sections 3 of the in the Fig.

As already mentioned above, the wire sections in the distal section 4 of the bristle carrier 2 have elliptical cross sections.
This qualifies the
Brush 1 for use as
Interdental brush, which has a particularly small passable hole diameter
BE2018 / 5086 and so also in comparatively narrow
Interdental spaces can be easily inserted.
The two wire sections 3 twisted together in the distal section 4 of the bristle carrier 2 are oriented such that they face one another with one of their two secondary apices of their elliptical cross section. In the area of the mutually facing apex of the elliptical cross sections, the is then also clamped
Bristle filaments which form bristles and are arranged between the two wire sections 3.
The handle 7 is fastened to the bristle holder 2 in such a way that it encloses the proximal section 6 and the pull-out protection 12 in the form of the proximal shoulder 14 and part of the central section 13 of the bristle holder 2.
7 to 9 and 10 to 13 illustrate, the wire sections 3 are two interconnected legs of a piece of wire 17 bent along a bending line 16. At a distal end 18 of the bristle carrier 2, the wire sections 3 are also connected to one another in the position of use. The bending line 16 of the bristle carrier 2 is then located at the distal end 18 of the bristle carrier 2. In this way, sharp edges and / or transitions, which can represent a risk of injury when using the brush 1 as an interdental brush, are avoided.
BE2018 / 5086
8 illustrates that the bending line 16 is arranged in the middle of the wire piece 17 and the profiling introduced into the wire sections 3 arranged on both sides of the bending line 16 is mirror-symmetrical to the bending line 16.
The brush 1 shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 can be produced by means of the method described below. To produce the screwed-in brush 1, wire sections 3, which here are connected to form a piece of wire 17, as can be seen for example in FIG. 14, are profiled by means of a wire-forming device 19 of a brush-making machine 20 according to the invention in such a way that the piece of wire 17 is initially still on both sides imaginary bending line 16 areas 4a, 6a, 13a with different cross-sectional geometries.

Area 13a with a semicircular cross-section then adjoins each of the two wire sections 3 with an area 6a which has a circular cross-section.
BE2018 / 5086
The two proximal areas 6a of the wire piece 17 with a circular cross section facing each other in FIG. 8 form the proximal section 6 of the bristle carrier 2 after the twisting of the wire sections 3 arranged on both sides of the bending line 16. The two middle areas 13a of the wire piece 17 each have a semicircular cross section after twisting, the central section 13 of the bristle holder 2. After the twisting of the two wire sections 3, the two distal regions 4a of the wire piece 17, each with an elliptical cross section, finally form the distal section 4 of the bristle holder 2.
After the wire piece 17 has been profiled, it is bent along the bending line 16 (cf. FIG. 8) and two legs of the wire piece 17 separated by the bending line 16 are placed next to one another as wire sections 3 of the bristle carrier 2 to be produced. Bristle material can then be inserted between the two wire sections 3 defined in this way and the wire sections 3 can be twisted together to form the bristle carrier 2 of the brush 1 in such a way that regions 4a, 6a, 13a of the wire sections 3 of identical cross-section on both sides of the bending line 16 to produce a distal section 4, a middle section 13 and a proximal section 6 of the bristle carrier 2 are connected to one another. These three previously mentioned sections of the bristle carrier 2 then have different cross-sectional geometries from one another.
The wire piece 17 can be on both sides of the bending line 16

If the wire piece 17 is unwound from a wire supply roll 23, as can also be seen in FIG. 14 as part of the brush manufacturing machine 20, it is expedient to straighten the wire piece 17 by means of the wire alignment device 22. Rolling up the piece of wire onto the supply roll 23 gives it a basic radius which must be removed before profiling. The brush manufacturing machine 20 also comprises three wire clamps 24 with which the wire piece 17 can be gripped and pulled off the supply roll 23.
The wire-forming device 19 comprises two press halves 25 that can be moved on top of one another and onto the wire piece 17 arranged between them, with which the desired cross-sectional profiles can be produced on the wire piece 17. The wire sections 3 of the wire piece 17 to be profiled have a total of at least two different cross sections after their profiling. The wire piece 17 with its two

BE2018 / 5086
The screwed-in brush 1 shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 has a bristle carrier 2 which consists of two wire sections 3 twisted together. Each of the two wire sections 3 comprises areas 4a, 6a and 13a with different cross sections.
Wire sections 3 connected to one another via a bending line 16 are also shown in FIGS. 15 to 18. The wire sections 3 shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 have not yet been twisted together and have not yet been provided with bristle trimmings 5 and can therefore also be referred to as bristle carrier blanks from which bristle carriers 2 for screwed-in brushes 1 can be produced. All of the bristle carrier blanks shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 are suitable for producing a screwed-in brush 1.
The two bristle carrier blanks of bristle carriers 2, which are shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, each consist of two wire sections 3, each of the two wire sections each having a proximal region 6a in which the respective one
Wire section 3 has a round and here even a circular cross section.
To each of the proximal ones
Areas 6a close a middle area 13a of the respective
Wire section 3, which finally merges into a distal region 4a of the respective wire section.
The wire sections 3 of the bristle carrier blank have in the middle region 13a and in the distal region 4a
BE2018 / 5086 according to FIG. 15 has a rectangular cross section.
This leads to the bristle carrier 2 emerging from the
Bristle carrier blank is made at its distal
Section a comparatively small one
External dimensions so that one with this
Bristle holder 2 equipped screwed brush 1 is for relatively small
Hole diameter, so for
Example of a comparatively small one
Interdental spaces are suitable.
The brush holder blank, which is shown in FIG. 16, comprises two wire sections 3, the central area 13a and distal area 4a of which is truncated pyramid-shaped and thus tapers in the direction of the distal end of the bristle holder 2 or the wire sections 3. This also favors a comparatively small external dimension of the bristle carrier 2 in its distal section 4, so that this bristle carrier 2, which can be produced from the bristle carrier blank shown in FIG. 16, is also particularly suitable for producing an interdental brush.
In the wire sections 3, which are shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the two wire sections 3, which are assigned to a bristle carrier 2, also have profiles which are identical to one another. This means that each of the two wire sections 3, which are connected to one another via the bending line 16, has the same sequence and design of regions 4a, 13a and 6a.
BE2018 / 5086
The wire sections 3 of the bristle carrier 2 blanks shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 each taper in the direction of their distal end. As already stated above, the two wire sections 3 of the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 17 have a frustoconical shape, that is to say a shape which tapers conically towards the distal end. at

In the exemplary embodiments of wire sections 3, which are shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the wire sections 3 have an oval and / or elliptical shape, at least in the regions 4a which form the distal section 4 of the bristle carrier 2
BE2018 / 5086
Cross-sectional shape on different cross-sections. There are therefore no oval and / or elliptical cross sections here.
FIG. 19 now shows a non-exhaustive collection of possible cross-sectional shapes that can be used in the production and design of wire sections 3 in the different areas 4a, 6a and 13a of the wire sections 3. At this point it should be expressly mentioned that the wire sections 3 in their different regions 4a, 6a and 13a can also be provided with cross-sectional shapes or cross-sections other than those shown in FIG. 19.
As an improvement in the technical field of the screwed-in brushes 1, such a brush 1 with a bristle holder 2 made of twisted wire sections 3 is proposed, which have oval and / or elliptical cross sections at least in the distal section 4 of the bristle holder 2. Furthermore, a screwed-in brush 1 is also proposed, the bristle carrier 2 of which has a pull-out safety device 12 at a distance from its proximal end 11. With the help of this pull-out safety device 12, the bristle carrier 2 can be secured against pulling out on the handle 7 of the screwed-in brush 1. In addition, a method for producing a screwed-in brush 1 is also proposed, in which wire sections 3 are twisted together to form a bristle carrier 2, at least one wire section 3 of which has at least two areas 4a, 6a, 13a with different shapes

Has cross sections. Another object of the invention is a brush manufacturing machine 20, which has a wire shaping device 19 with which a cross section of the wire section 3 to be profiled can be changed in at least one area 4a, 6a, 13a of a wire section 3 to be profiled, so that the wire section 3 according to FIG
Profiling has at least two areas 4a, 6a, 13a with differently shaped cross sections.
