Abstract
A conductive weld brush (10) consists of a conductive receptacle (12), a bundle of conductive fibers (13) which are anchored by their inner end within the conductive receptacle (12) and a slidable support sleeve (20) which has a first end portion (21) which receives the conductive receptacle (12) and a shaped second end portion (22) which surrounds and shapes the fiber bundle (13).
Claims8
A conductive weld brush comprising:
- a conductive receptacle having a first end and a second end;
- a bundle of conductive fibres anchored by one end to the first end of the receptacle with the remainder of the bundle extending from the receptacle;
- a slidable support sleeve having an inner end slidable along the receptacle, the sleeve having a shaped outer end portion movable along the bundle of fibres;
- and
- an electrical conductor connected to the conductive receptacle, the electrical conductor being in electrical contact with the conductive receptacle,
- wherein the cross-sectional shape of the outer end portion of the slidable sleeve is a round ended rectangle so as to form the fibre bundle into a flat brush of uniform cross section.
