Device for the automatic manufacture of brushes, especially paint brushes

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the automatic manufacture of brushes, especially paint brushes, by insertion of bundles of bristles into cover-like metal ferrules which are attachable to the front ends of brush handles, which device comprises a magazine into which the brush bristles are vertically insertable in relatively large quantities, in which they can be subjected to pressure in the direction of a delivery aperture and from which they can be removed in bundles by means of a divider which has a sickle which is pivotable against a stop, together with the stop delimits a bristle bundle reception aperture and together with the stop is pivotable into a delivery position. To permit trouble-free removal of bundles of brush bristles from the magazine, the device is designed in such a way that the pneumatically generated pressure with which the brush bristles in the magazine are pressed against the magazine delivery aperture is switched off when a bundle has been received by the sickle, until the sickle, which is pivoting into the delivery position, leaves the magazine.
