' I The present invention relates to i'mprovements in processes for the production of strong filaments of artificial silk by the stretch spinning process, and particularly by the cupro-ammonium stretch spinning process, as well as to apparatus "for carrying out the saidprocess. A
,In the production of staplefilaments it has been suggested to divide larger groups of filaments into smallergroups, but these latter were not'afterwards combined'so'as to form a single-thick filament. It "has'also been suggested to force-groups of filaments through numerous nozzles into a tube through which precipitating liquid flowed. For example, 64 nozzle plates were employed, some of which were disposed adjacent to each other and some were arranged over-each other around a tube and 14,000 filaments were produced si- 'multaneously' In this case, however, the
precipitating liquid flowed in turn to the various groups of nozzle-plates arranged over each other, so that owingto variations in the precipitating liquid during the spinning process, the lower filaments were coagulated to a diflerentextent fromthe'upper filaments. Moreover, the groupsof nozzles were. disposed so closely to each otherjth'at-the stickingtogether ofthe separatefilaments was inevitable; The known process therefore, did not produce strong filaments of artificial silk, but on the otherfhand produced a rope of filamentswhich consisted of separate, filaments entangled together. Presumably, this rope of filaments was to'serve as raw material for the production of staple filaments.
In' contrast to the previous processes, strong filaments of artificial silk are obtained by the present process, in which the separate filaments are prevented from sticking together and lie next to one another without being entangled as in the production of thinner filaments. In accordance with the invention, strong filaments of artificial silk are produced by forming ina spinning apparatus two or more groups of filaments which'are treated and kept separated from each other until the filaments have lost their tackiness, after" which the groups of filaments are united to,
treated -may be employed in the 2093231, and in Germany August. 5, 1926.?
form a single filament and latter coniducted out. of the spinning apparatus.
This process has the advantage that separate groups of filaments need not be made stronger than previously, so that a uniform -5 coagulation ofth'e separate filaments is en sured, whilst if too large a number ofindi vidual filaments were joined to form a single group of filaments, the filaments thus";pro,--"
*duced would not be uniform, I
The process in accordance with the .inven-f tion may be carried out in iva'riousw-kinds of apparatus so long asthe spinnerettes are arranged to produce separate groups of filamentswhich are kept separate from "each other while passing'through a funnel and are ultimately combined together before being delivered from the apparatus. .As many funnels as groups of filaments are being spinning apparatus and in which case the funnels lead to a common outlet tube. Also, instead of employing funnels disposed inside anouter: casing, this latter may itself have the shape o-f'a funnel and the ordinary funnels omitted: In this, formyof construction, the casings are provided with a common outlet. for the filaments. other shapes may also be employed where desirable. I Various forms :o-fapparatus, are illustrated diagrammatically by' way of example 'for carrying out the invention, I and in which {Figure 1 :showsan elevation of-a spinning.

through thefunnels o and 0 up to the point at which the funnelsvmeet the com:
mon outlet tube d. In the latter the groups of filaments are united and are conducted in this condition out of the apparatus. ,A single spinnerette may be employed instead of using two separate-spinnerettes so long as the holes in the spinnerette are divided up into separatejgroups, the number of which latter corresponds to the number of groups of filaments tobe produced and may be varied as desired.
' In this construction the initial separation ofthe'separate groups of filaments f and p 1 f is fully-ensuredisince each group of fila- V ments' is conducted-through its own parjticular funnel. The .1 precipitating liquid 'may also .be'admitted throughanumber of wtubes a'nd these," latter may if desired 'be i provided atthe upper "edges of the tunnels,
