A bristle is a stiff hair or feather. Bristles are often used for cleaning uses as they are strongly abbrasive. The most commonly known of these is probably the toothbrush as the fibres provide a perfect function for cleaning the teeth. The Bristle Brush is a common household cleaning tool, often used to remove dirt or grease from pots and pans. Another commonly used household cleaning tool containing bristles is the toilet brush which contains firm bristles for cleaning the inside of the toilet. A strange but true fact states that is also known for people to have fears of bristles as some people find the texture extremley strange. Extreme cases have been recorded of people screaming from the sight of them resulting in tears and even causing them to run to away.

Toothbrush head with anchor-free bristle tufting - Patent 6957468 (4608 words)
The brush head according to claim 15 wherein the transverse wall is inclined relative to the bristle carrier normal at an angle corresponding approximately to an angle of inclination of an end wall of the hole relative to said bristle carrier normal.
On account of the special fastening of the bristles the free and hence bendable length of the bristles at the one end of the bristles is bigger compared to tufts fastened by the anchor tufting method, with the result that otherwise identical bristles are easier to bend when secured by the anchor-free tufting method.
To support the bristles a metal anchor plate constructed separately from the bristle carrier could also be subsequently inserted in the hole, in particular shot into position, for the sole purpose of supporting the bristles against bending, unlike its real purpose in the anchor tufting method, which is to fasten the bristles.
