AI Technical Summary
Existing brushes, particularly synthetic ones, wear out quickly and are often discarded as a whole, leading to unnecessary waste, as the handle remains functional.
A silicone hose mold is used to create a conically shaped tube that attaches the brush hairs to the metal ferrule and brush handle, allowing for replaceable brush heads.
Enables the replacement of brush heads, reducing waste by allowing the handle to remain functional while the brush hairs are replaced, thus extending the life of the brush.

Abstract
Description
A brush is understood to be a unit consisting of a metal ferrule, brush hairs, and a handle. The brush cap, containing the brush hairs, is manufactured separately and usually permanently attached to the handle. The invention described in claim 1 addresses the problem that brushes wear out quickly and are often discarded entirely, even though the handle is still functional. This creates unnecessary waste. Synthetic brushes, in particular, wear out very rapidly. This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1. The invention makes it possible to replace brush heads, thus solving the waste problem. The invention achieves the effect that the conically shaped tube fixes the brush hairs to the metal ferrule and brush handle. During the manufacturing of the brushes, the metal ferrule and brush handle units are not permanently attached. An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the silicone tube shape behaves like a non-slip handle, which can be manufactured in several variations.

Claims
Silicone tube mold as a connector for attaching brush heads. Characterized by the fact that the mold fits exactly to the brush dimensions between the metal clamp and the handle, so that the brush head is fixed. (1) Silicone mold according to claim 1, characterized in that the mold is tubular and conical. The conical shape is achieved through the brush dimensions. (2) Silicone mold according to one of the preceding claims characterized in that the length is at least 20mm (3) and the wall thickness is at least 2mm.
