The method for manufacturing a makeup brush includes: molding a ferrule and welding bristles to the ferrule. The ferrule includes a ferrule inner end; a ferrule outer end; a ferrule body; an interior; and a well. The well has a well base parallel to the ferrule outer end. The well base has an inner side and an outer side. The step of welding the bristles includes the steps of disposing the bristles in contact with the outer side of the well base and exposing the inner side of the well base to welding.

A brush head (10) and a method for manufacturing a welded tuft assembly (20) for a brush head (10). The method includes inserting a bristle tuft (21) into an opening (51) in a retention element (52). A proximal end of the bristle tuft (23) and a proximal side (53) of the retention element are laser welded to at least partially melt the bristle tuft and at least a portion of the proximal side of the retention element together to create a merged proximal end head portion (26) that holds the welded tuft assembly together.

A mould system for producing a tufted body having a curved outer surface, for example one hemispherical half of a spherical toothbrush head, the mould system comprising a mould form having a receptacle and an annular flange circumscribing an open end of the receptacle and at least one slot formed substantially radially in the flange and extending into a sidewall of the receptacle.

A method for manufacturing a toothbrush head or a part thereof comprises steps of providing a plurality of bristle tufts; providing a hole perforation plate comprising a front surface, a back surface, a thickness therebetween, and a plurality of holes grouped into a plurality of hole arrangements, wherein the front surface is uneven in an area of the hole arrangement; pushing the bristle tufts through the holes; and fusing ends of the bristle tufts at the back surface of the plate by application of thermal energy, thereby forming a plurality of fuse balls that are larger than the holes of the plate; and mounting the plate with the plurality of bristle tufts into a brush head.

A brush head (10) and a method (200) for manufacturing a brush head. The method (200) includes stamping (220) a plurality of openings (62) into a strip or roll of backing material (60). A bristle tuft (21) is inserted into each of the openings in the backing material. A proximal end (23) of each bristle tuft is bonded to a proximal side (63) of the backing material to create a merged proximal end head portion (26). Excess portions of the backing material are removed to form a plurality of carrier elements (24) about the openings from the backing material. The carrier elements form a plurality of merged tuft assemblies (20). A platen (42) of a neck (40) is positioned in relation to the merged tuft assemblies. A matrix material (30) is injected around the platen and the merged tuft assemblies to at least partially encompass the platen and the carrier elements of the merged tuft assemblies.

A method for manufacturing a brushing part including the following steps: providing the support, pierced with through-holes, passing through the channel formed by the support; forming the tuft of bristles, by assembling a plurality of bristles by one end opposite the free end, so as to form a base of the tuft, so that a diameter of a section of the tuft, in a plane transverse to a direction of extension of the tuft, is greater than a diameter of a through-hole; merging the ends forming the base of the at least one tuft so that an extension of the merged zone in a direction transverse to the direction of extension of the at least one tuft is greater than an extension of the base in the transverse direction before the merging step; inserting the one tuft by force into one of the holes of the channel of the support, depositing glue and filling with resin.
