The separating device has a material box (4) for receiving the store of loose bristle filaments (3), a bundle separator (5) having at least one separating notch (6), and at least one counter piece (7). The bundle separator (5) is movable with the at least one separating notch (6) through a separating region (8) at the material box (4) in order to separate bundles of bristles, and the at least one separating notch (6) is movable with the bundle separator (5) along the counter piece (7) into a bundle delivery position (33). The bundle separator (5) has, on its front side (11) facing the counter piece (7), a profile (12) with which the bundle separator (5) overlaps the counter piece (7) when the separating notch (6) is at the counter piece (7).
