Abstract
The bristle brush comprises a support plate (1), a plurality of bristles (2) emerging from one of the surfaces thereof, the distal ends of the bristles (2), the ones further from the support plate (1), defining a support surface intended to receive a piece to be transported and/or cut or handled, wherein the distal ends of the plurality of bristles (2) have a semi-spherical or conical shape ending in a tip. It enables a bristle brush to be provided wherein the distal ends of said bristles have a shape which enables the bristles to move when a cutting blade or any other element comes into contact with them, without damaging them.
Claims15
A conveyor belt formed by a plurality of bristle brushes, each bristle brush comprising a support plate, a plurality of flexible bristles emerging from one of the surfaces thereof, the ends of the bristles furthest from the support plate defining a support surface intended to receive a part to be transported and/or cut,
- said support plate comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge, said leading and trailing edges defining complementary shapes,
- wherein the complementary shapes have a polygonal shape joining said plurality of bristle brushes, forming a homogeneous base of the conveyor belt to enable a homogeneous transition between bristle brushes as the bristle brushes pass over a gear or roller during movement of the conveyor belt.
