ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing brush components and the brushes themselves is disclosed, wherein a woven brush fabric is formed, the wefts being provided by tows made up of a plurality of bristle filaments, for example polypropylene mono-filaments, and the warps being made up of polyester yarn, the woven material subsequently having beads of molten polymeric material extruded therein, transverse to the wefts and being slit transverse to the wefts, either before or after the extrusion operation, thus providing a plurality of brush tapes or components which can then be assembled into a holder either on their own or together with other strips, using the extruded polymeric material as a locking bead engaging in a groove in the holder.
Preferably, before or during the extrusion step, the fabric is heated to at least soften it, and preferably fuse the filaments together, in the vicinity of the extruded beads. It is also envisaged that heating without extrusion could be used. Once the components have been formed, the warps can be removed by simply pulling them out.
