Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A roller brush comprising, in combination, a cylindrical support member having a cylindrical outer face; a single undercut groove in said peripheral outer face of said cylindrical support member extending in axial direction thereof and having undercut side faces; a flexible rectangular bristle carrier having a length identical to the length of said cylindrical support member in axial direction thereof and having a width substantially corresponding to the circumference of said cylindrical support; outwardly projecTing bristles arranged on one face of said flexible rectangular bristle carrier; and elongated undercut projections along those edges of said flexible rectangular bristle carrier which extend in direction of the length of the said bristle carrier, said projections extending outwardly from the other face of said flexible rectangular bristle carrier, whereby said flexible rectangular bristle carrier can be bent into a tubular shape with said elongated projections abutting against each other and slipped over said cylindrical carrier member with said projections located in said single undercut groove engaging the undercut faces thereof so that said flexible bristle carrier is held in its tubular shape on said cylindrical carrier member by said elongated undercut projections engaging the same single undercut groove in the cylindrical carrier member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
200 words
A roller brush comprising, in combination, a cylindrical support member having a cylindrical outer face; a single undercut groove in said peripheral outer face of said cylindrical support member extending in axial direction thereof and having undercut side faces; a flexible rectangular bristle carrier having a length identical to the length of said cylindrical support member in axial direction thereof and having a width substantially corresponding to the circumference of said cylindrical support; outwardly projecTing bristles arranged on one face of said flexible rectangular bristle carrier; and elongated undercut projections along those edges of said flexible rectangular bristle carrier which extend in direction of the length of the said bristle carrier, said projections extending outwardly from the other face of said flexible rectangular bristle carrier, whereby said flexible rectangular bristle carrier can be bent into a tubular shape with said elongated projections abutting against each other and slipped over said cylindrical carrier member with said projections located in said single undercut groove engaging the undercut faces thereof so that said flexible bristle carrier is held in its tubular shape on said cylindrical carrier member by said elongated undercut projections engaging the same single undercut groove in the cylindrical carrier member.
