A BRUSH FOR A WASHING ROLLER

摘要

A brush for a washing roller for use in an automatic motor vehicle washing installation or the like, comprises a flexible rectangular backing element (2) having means (3,4) along each of two opposite parallel edges for joining these edges together to hold the backing element (2) in a cylindrical configuration. Over the surface of the backing element (2) there are a plurality of sockets (5) for receiving fibres (10) fixed to the backing element by a sewing thread (11). One or a plurality of strip-like zones inclined diagonally with respect to the rectangular shape of the backing element (2) is or are provided with fibres (10) of a greater length such that when the backing element (2) is curved into its cylindrical configuration the strip-like zones with longer fibres form a helix over the surface of the roller thus formed.
