Abstract

A method for configuring the use ends of the bristles of at least one bristle bundle in the fabrication of bristle products, including cutting the bristle bundle to a predetermined dimension and inserting it into the channel in a carrier, and bringing the use ends into a contact with a surface of a configuration plate having a configuration corresponding to the configuration of the use ends of the bristles of the bristle bundle, under gas pressure acting on bristle ends which are opposite to use ends.
