Abstract
A brush system (1) for a labeling machine (40) is disclosed. The brush system (1) comprises a carrier (30) with a plurality of receptacles (32) and at least two brush elements (10) removably attached to the carrier (30). Each brush element (10) comprises a brush body (11) with a functional side (13) on a first side of the brush body (11), the functional side (13) having bristles (14), and with a carrier side (12) on a second side of the brush body (11). The carrier side (12) of each brush element (10) exhibits at least one clamping means (15), which together with a receptacle (32) of the carrier (30) provides for a removable attachment. Each clamping means (15) exhibits at least two elastic catch hooks (16), which lock into one of the receptacles (32).
Claims6
A brush system for a labeling machine comprising:
- at least two brush elements, wherein each brush element comprises a brush body with a functional side having a plurality of bristles on a first side of the brush body and with a carrier side on a second side of the brush body, each brush element having at least one edge section;
- at least one clamping means is provided on the carrier side of each brush element;
- and,
- a carrier with a plurality of receptacles, wherein the brush elements are removably attached with the clamping means, wherein each clamping means is provided with at least two elastic catch hooks, which lock into one of the receptacles, wherein the functional side that receives the plurality of bristles is laminar, wherein the brush elements and the carrier are separable from one another, wherein two of the at least two adjacent brush elements form-fittingly interlock at adjacent edge sections, and wherein the form-fit is created by interlocking corresponding profiles of the respective adjacent edge sections.
