Abstract: Methods and machines are disclosed to attach tufts of individual bristles to a toothbrush with a resiliently flexible head, wherein the flexible head may be segmented with joints connecting adjacent segments or it may be angled or curved or combinations thereof, and to then trim such tufts of individual bristles to a desired length - or lengths in the case of brushes with multi-level tufts - and to then round the free ends of the individual bristles in each such tuft. The disclosed method and apparatus require only the modification of conventional toothbrush tufting machines having tuft insertion tools that travel in a defined direction and the modification of conventional trimming machines and methods. In particular, the present invention discloses novel means and a method to hold securely a deformed resiliently flexible curved or angled toothbrush head or a segmented resiliently flexible head at the tufting apparatus in a configuration such that the bristle-receiving holes lie substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the tuft insertion tool, and at the trimming and end rounding portions of a toothbrush finishing machine so that conventional tufting, trimming and end rounding machines and methods can be used in the manufacture of such brushes.

Abstract translation: 公开了方法和机器，以将单个刷毛的毛簇附加到具有弹性柔性头部的牙刷上，其中柔性头部可以用连接相邻节段的接头分段，或者可以是成角度的或弯曲的或其组合，然后修整 单个刷毛达到期望的长度 - 或者在具有多层刷子的刷子的情况下的长度 - 然后在每个这样的簇中绕着各个刷毛的自由端。 所公开的方法和装置仅需要修改具有在限定方向上行进的刷毛插入工具的常规牙刷簇绒机以及常规修边机和方法的修改。 特别地，本发明公开了一种新颖的装置和一种方法，用于在簇绒装置处牢固地保持变形的弹性挠曲的弯曲或倾斜的牙刷头或分段的弹性柔性头，使得刷毛接收孔基本上平行于方向 毛刷插入工具的行程，以及牙刷整理机的修剪和端部圆整部分，使得常规的簇绒，修剪和端部圆整机器和方法可用于制造这种刷子。
