Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with the extrusion of thermoplastic polymers to form a novel filamentary structure.
  • a filamentary structure comprises a helical thermoplastic core filament disposed within a thermoplastic sheath component which is fused to the successive turns of the helical core filament.
  • the sheath component is preferably a cage formed by at least three thermoplastic filaments each of which is fused to the successive turns of the helical core filament.
  • the sheath component may comprise a tube.
  • the invention includes a process for making such a filamentary structure comprising feeding molten thermoplastic polymer to a spinning jet having an inner jet hole ringed by outer jet holes, extruding the polymer through the inner jet hole at a greater velocity than polymer is extruded through the outer jet holes to form a helical extrudate disposed within an extruded sheath component to which its successive turns are fused, and cooling the extrudates to solidify them to a unitary structure.
  • the thermoplastic polymer may be any which can be melt spun into filaments including polyamides, polyesters and polyolefins.
  • the polymer extruded through the inner jet hole to form the helical core may be the same as or different from the polymer extruded through the outer jet holes to form the sheath component. Preferably it is the same in order to simplify spinning and ensure good fusion between the turns of the helical core fiiament'a ' nd the sheath component.
  • An elastic filamentary structure may be formed by making the helical core filament from a non- elastomeric polymer and the sheath component from an elastomeric polymer.
  • the polymer extruded through the inner jet hole is required to have a greater velocity than that flowing through the outer jet holes in order that it will take up the desired helical form.
  • this greater velocity may be achieved by having the inner jet hole of greater cross-sectional area and/or of shorter capillary length than each of the outer jet holes.
  • it is of greater cross-sectional area for two reasons: the first being that in the most desirable filamentary structure of the invention the cage filaments which comprise the sheath component are of smaller cross-sectional area than the helical core filament; and the second being that jets having holes of a common capillary length are much easier to make.
  • the sizes and cross-sectional shapes of the jet holes determine the size and shape of the filaments extruded through them.
  • the preferred shape is circular, particularly for the inner jet hole.
  • the pitch of the helical core filament is determined by the relative polymer velocities through the inner and outer holes. That is, the pitch reduces as the velocity differential increases.
  • the axes of the inner and outer jet holes are all parallel to one another so that, in the embodiment where the sheath component comprises a cage of filaments, these filaments are in substantially parallel alignment with the axis of the helical core filament.
  • the diameter of the helix of the core filament is determined by the sheath component which holds it in place and which stabilises it by becoming fused to its successive turns.
  • the sheath component comprises a cage of filaments it has been found that it is necessary to have at least three cage filaments for this purpose otherwise the core filament 'breaks out' and is uncontrolled.
  • each cage filament is spaced apart from its adjacent cage filaments by substantially equal distances. This may be arranged by using a spinning jet with a central inner jet hole ringed by at least three outer jet holes pitched at substantially equal angles to and substantially equidistant from the central inner jet hole.
  • each outer jet hole is positioned sufficiently closely to its adjacent outer jet holes that because of die swell the extruded cage filaments merge to form a tube.
  • the outer jet holes are preferably of circular cross-section, although other suitable cross- sections may be used, for example arcuate slots which may be used to produce a tube as described.
  • the extruded structure may be cooled in air to solidify it, but it is preferred to stabilise it more quickly by quenching it in a liquid bath which is conveniently water.
  • the filamentary structure of the invention may be used as yarn, cord or twine, or as a reinforcement for a tube.
  • the sheath component comprises a tube, it constitutes a reinforced tube itself. It may also be used to construct an abrasive pad suctYas a pan scrub.
  • the invention includes a fabric structure comprising a plurality of filamentary structures according to the invention fused to each other with the axes of the helical filaments in substantially parallel relation.
  • This fabric structure may be produced directly by extrusion using a bank of adjacent sets of jet holes from which adjacent filament structures are extruded. These merge and become fused so that after being cooled to solidify them, they remain fused as a unitary fabric structure.
  • the component filamentary structures may be arranged in a planar array by a corresponding arrangement of the adjacent sets of jet holes, to produce a planar fabric structure.
  • Three-dimensional fabric structures may be made using appropriate groupings of the sets of jet holes from which the component filamentary structures are extruded.
  • the fabric structure of the invention has a variety of uses including use as drainage, earth- support and other civil engineering fabrics, and as matting such as door mats.
  • the sheath component comprises a cage of filaments
  • limited stretching of the filamentary structure produces elongation of the cage filaments between the successive points of fusion, with the result that after removal of the stretching forces and contraction of the helical core, the cage filaments balloon out between the points of fusion, giving an expanded structure.
  • the broken cage filaments constitute fibrils which are substantially uniform in length, with the majority of the fibrils being raked in a common direction.
  • the modified filamentary structure has decorative qualities and may be used as fancy yarn, or twine, especially if coloured.
  • the rake of the fibrils gives it a particularly distinctive appearance and also imparts good knot-tying properties.
  • the roughness of the fibrils, particularly at the points of fusion, gives the product abrasive properties making it suitable for the construction of scouring pads, for example.
  • a spinning jet 1 has a circular jet face 2 in which are drilled an inner jet hole 3 encircled by a ring of four outer jet holes 4.
  • the jet holes have the same capillary length and the inner jet hole is shown as about twice the diameter of the outer jet holes.
  • Figure 3 shows a filamentary structure 5 spun from a jet similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2, but comprising eight outer jet holes instead of four.
  • the filamentary structure 5 comprises a helical core filament 6 held within a cage of eight finer filaments 7 which are fused to the successive turns of the helical core filament at points 8.
  • Figure 4 shows a modified filamentary structure 9 produced by stretching the structure 5, whereby the cage filaments 7 have broken close to the points 8.
  • the resulting fibrils 10 are regularly spaced and uniform in length. As shown they are raked in a common direction.
  • the points at which they are fused to the core filament 6 lie on a generally helical path around the core filament.
  • the filamentary structure 11 shown in Figure 5 comprises a helical core filament 12 held within a tubular sheath 13 which is fused to the successive turns of the helical core filament at points 14.
  • the structure 11 may be spun from a jet of the type shown in Figure 6 in which the jet 15 has a central inner jet hole 16 ringed by two outer jet holes 17 in the form of two arcuate slots. The extrudates from the outer jet holes merge below the jet to form a tube enclosing the helical core filament formed from the higher velocity extrudate from the inner jet hole.
  • Figure 7 shows a filamentary structure of the type shown in Figure 3 after being stretched to a degree which elongates the cage filaments without breaking them. On being allowed to relax, the helical core filament 18 contracts and causes the elongated cage filaments 19 to balloon out as shown to produce an expanded filamentary structure 20.
  • the fabric structure 21 shown in Figure 8 comprises three filamentary structures of the type shown in Figure 3 with the axes of their helical core filaments 22 parallel and adjacent cage filaments 23 fused together.
  • This fabric structure may be produced by a jet of the type shown in Figure 9 which has a rectangular jet face 24 with three sets 25 of jet holes lying adjacent to each other in a line. Each set 25 comprises an inner jet hole 26 ringed by eight outer jet holes 27 of smaller diameter.
  • the number of sets of jet holes may be extended beyond three to produce wider fabric structures, and may also be grouped other than in line, for example as a grid, to provide three-dimensional fabric structures.
  • the apparatus shown diagrammatically comprises a spinning jet 32 from which a filamentary structure 33 according to the invention is extruded downwardly into a water quench bath 34.
  • the solidified structure is withdrawn from the jet by driven rollers 35 in a 'clover leaf' formation and located below the surface of the bath.
  • the structure is withdrawn from the bath by a godet 36 and, if desired, stretched between the godet 36 and a further godet 37 to produce a structure as shown in Figure 4 or Figure 7 depending upon the degree of stretch.
  • Nylon 6 polymer was melted and extruded through various spinning jets as shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, some with four outer jet holes and some with eight outer jet holes with variations also in the pitch circle diameter (PCD) of the outer jet holes.
  • the extrudates were quenched in a water bath at room temperature and collected either by free fall or by nip rollers. Samples were taken and stretched at two different percentage stretches, one simply to bulk the product and the other a greater stretch to break the cage filaments and produce the modified filamentary structure.
