Abstract

Brush systems for transferring preforms along a rail include a cam including a follow extending from the cam, and a bracket positioned adjacent the cam. The bracket includes a slot for receiving the follow of the cam. The brush system also includes a brush assembly coupled to the bracket. The brush assembly includes a yoke positioned adjacent to and operably connected to the cam, a brush holder coupled to the yoke, opposite the cam, and a plurality of brushes positioned within the brush holder. Additionally, the brush system includes a motor coupled to and configured to rotate the cam. Rotation of the cam causes the bracket and the brush assembly to move in a first direction, and the brush holder and the plurality of brushes of the brush assembly to move in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
