Abstract
To provide a linear abrasive brush member, in which filament parts are hardly broken, a substrate part is excellent in deformability, and also, abrasion ability is excellent. A linear abrasive brush member comprising: an embedded core material (9); a rod-shaped substrate part (7) having opposite long-narrow upper and bottom faces; and a plurality of filament parts (8) present on the upper surface along the longitudinal direction; and the substrate part and the filament parts being integrally molded from a resin composition.
Claims2
An abrasive brush of needlepoint holder type comprising:
- a linear abrasive brush member comprising:
- an embedded core material;
- a rod-shaped substrate part having opposite long-narrow upper and bottom faces;
- a plurality of filament parts present on the upper surface along the longitudinal direction;
- and, the substrate part and the filament parts being integrally molded from a resin composition;
- a supporting member having a surface on which the linear abrasive member is fastened;
- the supporting member is disk shape, and
- the linear abrasive brush member is spirally wound so that the filament parts point around the same direction, and that the bottom face is fastened to the major surface of the supporting member.
A method for preparing a linear abrasive brush member comprising:
- an embedded core material;
- a rod-shaped substrate part having opposite long-narrow upper and bottom faces;
- a plurality of filament parts present on the upper surface along the longitudinal direction;
- and
- the substrate part and the filament parts being integrally molded from a resin composition;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) preparing a metal mold which has a convex part corresponding to the shape of the linear abrasive brush member and a predetermined longitudinal size, and a core material;
- (2) opening the metal mold and placing the core material in the convex part along the ditch corresponding to the substrate part shape of the linear abrasive brush member;
- (3) closing the metal mold and integrally molding a resin composition to obtain a molded body;
- (4) opening the metal mold, and releasing and moving the molded body in the longitudinal direction so that an end part of the molded body is left in the metal mold and that the core material is placed in the convex part along the ditch corresponding to the substrate part shape of the linear abrasive brush member;
- and
- (5) repeating the steps (3) and (4).
