Abstract

A device for removing individual fiber tufts from a plurality of fiber bins of a brush making machine comprises a tuft remover, a counterpart matching the tuft remover and a movable slide arranged between the counterpart and the fiber bins. The slide has a plurality of through-passages each of which is associated with one of the fiber bins. The outer passages of the slide are inclined at an angle to the central passage. Between the central fiber bin and each of the outer fiber bins an associated ram is arranged. Each ram has an end face which faces the slide and either bears on one side surface area of the slide or applies pressure to the opposite end of one of the outer through-passages, depending on the respective position of the slide. The device allows the tuft remover to selectively pick up tufts of three different types of fiber.
