A brush (1) intended for industrial use comprises one or more bristle bunches formed by a plurality of elongated bristles, one or more cassette elements having said bristle bunches, and a cassette element holding member (3) at which said cassette elements may be removably secured. At least one of said cassette elements comprises a body, one or more recesses configured to receive said bristle bunches therein, and a securing wire configured to secure said bristle bunches in said recesses. Said at least one cassette element further comprises means configured to counteract movement of the bristles of a bristle bunch with respect to each other and/or with respect to the securing wire.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a brush seal with inclined bristles. In order to be able to manufacture these brush seals in an especially cost-effective manner, at least the following steps are provided: provision of a brush blank with at least one metal thread or wire packing fastened at or in at least one wire core; local, at least partial heating of at least the wire core and/or a subregion of the thread or wire packing adjacent to the wire core, by a current flow through the wire core; bending of the thread or wire packing relative to the wire core for producing of the inclined position of the bristles of the brush seal. The invention further relates to an apparatus for manufacturing brush seals and a brush seal for a turbomachine, in particular for an aircraft engine.

Provided is a cosmetic brush having bristles that easily go between thin eyelashes and easily catch eyelashes when rolling up, and a manufacturing method of the same. A cosmetic brush includes an applying portion formed into a substantially columnar shape as a whole in which bristles are spread radially from a core wire portion evenly in a circumferential direction of the core wire portion and continued in a helicoidal fashion in an axial direction of the core wire portion, and tip ends of the bristles are uniformly bent at substantially the same angle forward or rearward in the axial direction of the core wire portion, and tapered toward tip ends.

The present invention relates to an interdental brush (1, 1) having a brush part (2) comprising two twisted-together legs (4A, 4B) of a wire section (4) and brush filaments (5) held clamped between the legs (4A, 4B), and to a method for producing such an interdental brush (1, 1). In order to improve in particular the bending fatigue strength of the wire section (4), it is provided according to the invention that a wire section (4) made of an austenitic steel is used which has a chromium content of 15 to 17 wt. %, a manganese content of 12 to 16 wt. % and a molybdenum content of 0 to 4 wt. %, and that the wire section (4) is formed with an oval cross-section having an ovality O in a range between 0.4 to 0.9, wherein the ovality O is dimensioned as a ratio between a length (LQk) of a small transverse axis (Qk) to a length (LQg) of a large transverse axis (Qg) of the cross-section.
