Abstract
A method of manufacturing a brush includes inserting bristles into bristles insertion holes, and implanting the bristles in a resin material. The inserting further includes preparing sleeves corresponding to cross sectional shapes and cross sectional areas of the bristles insertion holes; introducing the bristles into the sleeves; and independently inserting the bristles within each of the sleeves to the corresponding bristles insertion holes.

A method of manufacturing a brush, the method comprising:
- inserting bristles into a plurality of bristles insertion holes;
- implanting the bristles in a resin material,
- wherein the inserting further comprises
- preparing a plurality of sleeves corresponding to a plurality of cross sectional shapes and cross sectional areas of the plurality of bristles insertion holes,
- introducing the bristles into the plurality of sleeves, and
- inserting the bristles within each sleeve of the plurality of sleeves into the corresponding bristles insertion holes, and
- extruding the use end of the bristles to form a desired shape at a time of inserting the bristles within at least one sleeve into at least one bristles insertion hole by pushing the bristles out from the at least one sleeve with at least one extrusion pin.
