ABSTRACT:
A method for dispensing tufts of filaments from a filament stock box is described. The method includes providing a stock box for containing cut to length filament. The stock box has a front wall with at least one aperture in the lower portion thereof, a rear wall, side walls, and a base. When the box contains filament, the filament is oriented parallel to the planes containing the side wall, and the box defines a lower picking zone and an upper reservoir. The method includes providing a choke means for regulating the flow of filament from the reservoir into the picking zone so that the density of filament in the reservoir is greater than the density in the picking zone. The method also includes causing the rear wall in the lower portion thereof to vibrate against the adjacent filament ends while a tuft thereof is withdrawn through the aperture. The tufts so dispensed are then fused at an end and mounted on synthetic brush and broom blocks to form brushes or brooms or the like.
