neutral  Kim Metzger: Isn't that a "bush" rather than a "brush"? Langenscheidt Technik lists holding/clamping bush for Spannbuchse.

I agree with Cecile!


Explanation:
I think Cecile’s proposal is right. I believe Spannbuchse is the only possible answer and that the problem is with the English original. It seems it must be a typo - it should be locking bushes, not brushes. A locking bush would make sense for tubular furniture. A locking or clamping bush or bushing is used for connections between tubular pieces.

Here’s a picture of a clamping bush/sleeve
