Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2305067A1] For producing brushes comprising tuft patterns composed of tufts differing in at least one of shape, color, filament type, filament thickness and filament finishing, a set of tufts is composed for each brush to be produced by inserting tufts into holes of a carrier arranged in a pattern corresponding to the desired tuft pattern. The carriers are moved through a number of successive tufting stations. A single tuft is filled into a particular one of the carrier holes in each of the tufting stations. The tuft pattern in each carrier is thus successively composed by moving the carrier through the number of tufting stations. The set of tufts is ultimately joined with a brush body by one out of several possible methods.
