Abstract

A brush belt has a belt body and at least one bristle anchored in the belt body. The bristle has at least one plastic sheath. The bristle is U-shaped with a crosspiece as the U base and two treatment legs as U shanks.

1 . A brush belt comprising:
 a belt body; and   at least one bristle anchored in the belt body, said bristle having at least one sheathing of plastic and being U-shaped, with a crosspiece as a U base and two treatment legs as U shanks.   
   
   
       2 . A brush belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the treatment legs pass through passage openings in the belt body with bias. 
   
   
       3 . A brush belt according to  claim 2 , wherein there are two passage openings corresponding to each bristle, said passage openings being connected with one another on a back of the belt body by the crosspiece of the bristle. 
   
   
       4 . A brush belt according to  claim 1 , wherein said two treatment legs project by a predetermined dimension (M) relative to a top of the belt body. 
   
   
       5 . A brush belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the two treatment legs are disposed at a distance (A) from one another, which is adapted to the size of dirt particles, foreign bodies, etc. to be loosened from a surface. 
   
   
       6 . A brush belt according to  claim 2 , wherein the belt body is produced from a woven textile in which the passage openings are made in a uniform distribution. 
   
   
       7 . A brush belt according to  claim 2 , wherein the passage openings are disposed in rows that run crosswise to a longitudinal direction of the belt. 
   
   
       8 . A brush belt according to  claim 7 , wherein the passage openings within each row are disposed at equal intervals relative to one another. 
   
   
       9 . A brush belt according to  claim 2 , wherein all of the bristles are configured to be the same dimension, and the treatment legs enclose an obtuse angle α with the crosspiece in an uninstalled state, which angle deviates from perpendicular to the crosspiece, to produce the bias. 
   
   
       10 . A brush belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the bristles are injection-molded or are cut to length from a single strand and bent.
