A frayed cable scaling tool is made by fraying the end of a cable so that it forms a wire brush. A collar or other way of keeping the cable from unraveling too much is necessary. When powered by a pneumatic saw power tool, the scaling tool is very effective at removing scale, rust, carbon, or other debris. The flexibility of the cable allows the frayed end of the cable to move vigorously in a random motion, which is effective for scrubbing. For some applications, it is preferred to enclose the cable and/or the collar in a guide tube.

A bristled component for a cosmetic applicator comprising: an elongated carrier having a longitudinal axis; and at least a first plurality of bristles including at least one array of bristles ultrasonically welded to the carrier and outwardly extending therefrom according to a first pre-determined pattern, wherein the carrier and the bristles comprise ultrasonically compatible materials, and wherein the bristles are ultrasonically bonded to the carrier through a direct ultrasonic bond between a surface of the carrier and a lengthwise portion of each of the bristles. A process comprises wrapping a yarn around a moving endless band, juxtaposing a support strip with the band's edge, ultrasonically welding the yarn to the first support strip, removing the welded yarn and support strip from the band, and cutting the strip into a plurality of bristled components.

Disclosed are a no-glue cosmetic brush and its manufacturing method. The manufacturing method of the no-glue cosmetic brush of the present invention includes the steps of forming a shape of a brush hair by using a plurality of hair members; providing a fusion portion by applying heat to a lower end of the shaped brush hair; processing the brush hair in a desired shape by pressing a hair fixing tube in a region to which the fusion portion is inserted; and coupling the brush hair to the hair fixing tube by pressing the hair fixing tube after inserting the brush hair to the hair fixing tube.
