Benefits of technology

[0016]It is always guaranteed that the treatment legs, which stand more or less vertically on the top of the belt body, produce a uniform bristle pattern with treatment legs that are essentially at equal distances from one another. As a result, interstices of practically equal size are available between the treatment legs, in which the loosened dirt particles or foreign bodies find hardly any hold. This is all the more true if the treatment legs are adapted to the size of the particles or foreign bodies in question, in terms of the distance between them. All of this is possible while assuring gentle surface treatment.

Problems solved by technology

This has the result that the brush belt can become contaminated relatively quickly when cleaning surfaces, because loosened dirt particles or foreign bodies become lodged between the bristles, which project in a V shape from the belt body.
Furthermore, the production of the belt body is complicated.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Referring now in detail to the drawings, the figures show a brush belt 1, which has several bristles 2, which are anchored in a belt body 3. Bristles 2 are produced completely from plastic such as polyamide (PA), acryl nitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), etc. Aside from the aforementioned thermoplastics, bristles 2 made of duroplastics are fundamentally also possible.

[0022]Bristles 2 are each configured in U shape, with a crosspiece 2a as the U base and two treatment legs 2b as the U shanks, in each instance. To produce the bristles 2, a standard injection-molding method can be used, which produces the bristles 2 in their form as shown right from the start. Then it is possible to place a supply of U-shaped bristles 2 into a magazine and to introduce them into belt body 3 using a punch.

[0023]Alternatively to this, however, bristles 2 can also be produced from a single strand of plastic tha...

Abstract

A brush belt has a belt body and at least one bristle anchored in the belt body. The bristle has at least one plastic sheath. The bristle is U-shaped with a crosspiece as the U base and two treatment legs as U shanks.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a brush belt having a belt body and at least one bristle anchored in the belt body, which bristle has at least one plastic sheath.[0003]2. The Prior Art[0004]Such a brush belt is described in Swiss Patent No. CH 412 793. Such brush belts, having a plastic bristle anchored in the belt body using steel staples, are known from practice. Consequently, each bristle has a more or less V-shaped form at the top of the belt body. This has the result that the brush belt can become contaminated relatively quickly when cleaning surfaces, because loosened dirt particles or foreign bodies become lodged between the bristles, which project in a V shape from the belt body. Furthermore, the production of the belt body is complicated.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a brush belt of the type described above, in which the production is simplified and at the same tim...
