ABSTRACT:
A brush or agitator roll of a suction cleaner for carpets or other floor coverings is provided with a plurality, for example, a pair of diametrically opposed longitudinally extending spiral grooves and a bristle/agitator strip is spirally, slidably engaged in each spiral groove. Each strip has a section including a band forming part of a crowned pulley for a drive belt. On either side thereof a series of holes is provided for receiving bristle tufts. On each side, the strip is provided with a radial hole at a medial location with each succeeding bristle hole being elongated so that its inner wall is radial and the outer wall is inclined away from the center by an amount equal to the inclination of the adjacent hole plus a fixed incremental amount. Thus, although the inner edge of each hole is generally upright or radial, the outside edges are successively angled outwardly so that the holes can be molded utilizing a single core strip and the bristle tufts can be inserted and stapled radially and yet will have substantial bristles angled outwardly so as to provide a brush having a line of bristles effectively longer than the supporting strip. Grooves are also provided on the back and two sides of the strip to increase its flexibility, enabling it to be slid into the groove on the roll without the necessitating pre-heating of the strip to soften it.
