Abstract
A method of manufacturing a brush includes providing a core wire section having a proximal end and a distal end, and an integral tip on the distal end, forming a bristle element having a throughbore, and inserting the core wire section into the throughbore until the bristle element is received on the core wire section.
Claims15
A brush, comprising:
- a core section including at least two leg members twisted about one another in a helical configuration, the core section having a proximal end and a distal end, and an integral tip formed on the distal end;
- and
- a plurality of discs slidably received on the core section, the plurality of discs defining a brush head;
- wherein the core section further includes a plurality of fiber bristles anchored between the at least two leg members;
- wherein the plurality of discs are received about the plurality of fiber bristles such that the plurality of fiber bristles inhibit rotational and axial movement of the plurality of fiber bristles with respect to the core section.

A method of manufacturing a brush, comprising the steps of:
- providing a core section having a plurality of leg portions twisted in a helical configuration, a proximal end and a distal end, and an integral tip on the distal end;
- and
- positioning at least one bristle element on the core section, the at least one bristle element having a throughbore through which the core section extends;
- wherein the integral tip forms a position stop preventing the at least one bristle element from sliding off the distal end of the core section;
- wherein the at least one bristle element is a plurality of disc elements;
- wherein the core section includes a plurality of bristles anchored between the plurality of leg portions;
- and
- wherein the plurality of bristles inhibit axial and rotational movement of the plurality of disc elements on the core section.
5 more elements
A brush, comprising:
- a core section having a plurality of leg portions twisted in a helical configuration, and a plurality of fiber bristles anchored between the plurality of leg portions;
- and
- a plurality of disc elements received on the core section;
- wherein the plurality of fiber bristles are configured such that the plurality of fiber bristles interact with the plurality of disc elements to inhibit rotation of the plurality of disc elements relative to the core section.
