In an apparatus (1a) for the production of brushes or bristled-wares (9) having bristle bundles (3) melted at a fastening-side end, a reception sleeve (2) made from silica glass, crystal glass, glass ceramic and/or an alloy thereof for the positive, at least regional reception of a bristle bundle (3), on the one hand, and of a functional part (4) arranged, in the bristle longitudinal direction, behind its fastening-side end, on the other hand, are provided. Action elements (6) for acting upon the free ends of the bristle bundle (3) and of the functional part (4) and for acting with force upon the bristle bundle (3) and/or the functional part (4) in the bristle longitudinal direction, a heating device (7), arranged outside the reception sleeve (2), for heating the mutually confronting ends of the bristle bundle (3) and of the functional part (4) and for melting on the bristle bundle (3) and a cooling device (8), arranged outside the reception sleeve (2), for cooling the previously melted-on bristle bundle (3) are provided (FIG. 3).
