US Patent No: 5786087

Honeycomb brush bristles and brush made therefrom

---

Abstract

---

A 'honeycomb'-like paintbrush bristle, either leveled or tapered, has a consistently circular cross-section and two enclosed, longitudinal, hemi-cylindrical voids separated by a single planar interior web which extends diametrically across the bristles interior. The honeycomb bristle is made by extrusion through a die or spinneret which has two generally E-shaped facing openings, so that the resultant bristle has only two external seams along its length.
