Spinneret for melt-spinning polymeric fibers with multicomponent spinning orifices
A spinneret for melt-spinning polymeric fibers has been claimed in a filed patent (Publication Number: US20240003065A1). The spinneret body includes a variety of spinning orifices, with multicomponent spinning orifices and monocomponent spinning orifices being part of the design. The spinneret body's dimensions allow for rows of spinning orifices to extend independently along a significant portion of its width. The multicomponent spinning orifices can be configured in different ways, such as side-by-side, multi-lobal, sheath-and-core, or islands-in-the-sea configurations. The distribution of multicomponent and monocomponent spinning orifices is specified, with multicomponent spinning orifices accounting for a majority of the total number of spinning orifices.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to a nonwoven fabric produced using the spinneret. The nonwoven fabric comprises a combination of monocomponent fibers and crimped multicomponent fibers arranged in specific regions. These regions can have different outermost surfaces based on the fiber groups present. The arrangement of first and second regions can follow alternating patterns along different directions within the fabric. The method of producing the nonwoven fabric involves simultaneously melt spinning both types of fibers, collecting them, and forming crimped portions in the multicomponent fibers to create the desired fabric structure. The weight distribution of monocomponent and multicomponent fibers in the fabric is also specified in the patent claims.
