Definitions
- Shm 0 BY "chi Z ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,182,106 SPINNING MUL'II-CGMPQNENT FIBERS Yoshimasa Fajita, Keitaro Shimoda, and Keiichi Zoda,
- This invention relates to producing textile fibers possessing permanent crimp, and more particularly, to method and apparatus for spinning multi-component filaments from at least two different fiber-forming spinning solutions by extruding them concurrently through a common orifice.
- a bicomponent fiber comprising a core of a first component and a sheath of a second component surrounding the core in either a concentric or eccentric relationship.
- Another proposal was to utilize two kinds of spinning solutions extruded together through the same orifice of a spinnerette so as to make them coexist without interrningling in the spun filament.
- a satisfactorily uniform filament is not produced when utilizing a plurality of orifices in a multiple orifice spinnerette.
- a spinning solution for each component is caused to flow as a thin confined film moving in laminar fiow in interfacial contact with another such spinning solution prior to extrusion of said spinning solutions concurrently through the orifices of the spinnerette into a suitable coagulating medium.
- the orifices are preferably arranged in the face of the spinnerette in rows such that the center-to-center spacing of the orifices in any single row is substantially equal to the maximum diameter of the orifices (which maximum diameter occurs adjacent the face of the spinnerette which is within the spinnerette holder).
- FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal cross-section of a preferred embodiment of a device of this invention.
- FIGURES 2, 3 and 4 are cross-sections of the same apparatus taken along lines II-II, IIIIII, and IV-IV of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 5 is a partial view, on an enlarged scale, of the spinnerette taken on the line VV of FIGURES 1 and 6.
- FIGURE 6 is a cross-sectional view'taken on the line VI'VI of FIGURE 5;
- FIGURE 7 is a longitudinal cross-section of another embodiment of this invention.
- FIGURE 8 is a cross-section as taken along the line VIII-V III of FIGURE 7;
- FIGURE 9 is a partial view, on an enlarged scale, taken along the line IXIX of FIGURES 7 and 10;
- FIGURE 10 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line XX of FIGURE 9;
- FIGURE 11 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, sche matically represented, of the fiber obtained by the spinning device of FIGURES 1 through 6;
- FIGURE 12 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, schematically represented, of the fiber obtained by the spinning device of FIGURES 7 through 10.
- FIGURES I through 6 there is illustrated a spinning device for producing bi-component fibers generally com prising a spinnerette 11, a guide plate 13, and a cylindrical sleeve 15 suitably supported in a spinnerette holder comprising a cap 17 and nut 18 on the end of supply tube 19.
- Spinnerette 11 is provided with a plurality of orifices 21 arranged in rows which are spaced from each other.
- the orifices 21 in any single row are placed near each other at a spacing which is substantially equal to the inside diameter of such orifices at the back portion of spinnerette 11 as is illustrated in FIGURE 5.
- orifices 21 in any single row are substantially tangent to each other at their maximum diameter which maximum diameter occurs (see FIGURE 6) adjacent the face of the spinnerette 11 which is inside the spinnerette holder. While spinnerette 11 has been illustrated as having orifices 2-1 disposed in a plurality of straight rows, it is to be understood that the orifices may be disposed in a single straight row, a single circular row, a plurality of concentric circular rows, etc.
- each Y-shaped channel in guide plate 13 Adjacent the back face of spinnerette 11 is guide plate 13 which is provided with a plurality of Y-shaped channels 23.
- the width of the base of each Y-shaped channel in guide plate 13 is substantially equal to the maximum diameter of orifices 21 at the back portion of spinnerette 11 substantially as illustrated in FIGURE 6.
- the length of each Y-sha'ped channel 23 is substantially equal to the length of the row of orifices 21 with which it cooperates.
- the Y-shaped channels in guide plate 13 are spaced apart .a distance equal to the spacing between the rows of orifices in spinnerette 11 and are substantially co-extensive in length with such rows of orifices.- While guide plate 13 has been shown as an integral unit, suoh plate may be composed of a plurality of pieces suitably secured together for mounting within the spinnerette holder adjacent the back face of spinnerette 11.
- Cylindrical sleeve 15 may be considered as having its interior divided into two sections; an inlet section into which two diiferent spinning solutions are introduced and an outlet section which delivers these two spinning solutions to guide plate 13 for transmission to orifices 21 of spinnerette 11.
- the inlet section of cylindrical sleeve is provided with a baffle 25 which serves to divide the inlet section into two chambers 26 and .27.
- the outlet section of cylindrical sleeve 15 is provided with a plurality of slots 29, which may be considered as belonging to two groups, a first group 29 and a second group 30.
- Each of the slots 29 in the first group is provided with an opening 32 communicating with a first chamber 26 in the inlet section and is isolated from chamber 27, whereas each of the slots 30 in the second group is provided with an opening 33 communicating with chamber 27 .and is isolated from chamber 26.
- a different spinning solution is introduced into each of the chambers 26 and 27 on the inlet side of cylindrical sleeve 15 from separate supply sources, not shown.
- the first spinning solution (Solution A) flows from chamber 26 through openings 32 to alternate channels 29 and down one arm of each V- shaped channel leading toward orifices 21.
- the second spinning solution (Solution B) flows from chamber 27 through openings 33 to the other set of alternate channels 3% and thence down the other arms of V-shaped channels 35 toward orifices 21. It will be noted that both arms of V-shaped channels 35 meet at an acute angle and discharge at the apex thereof into a common narrow channel 36 which is the base of the Y-shaped channel 23.
- V-shaped channels 35 Since the legs of V-shaped channels 35 are very thin and since channels 36 are likewise quite thin, and since the spinning solutions commonly used are quite viscous and flow at relatively low rates, the film-like flows from the two legs of each V-shaped channel 35 comprising Solution A and Solution B, respectively, flow in laminar flow without mixing down channels 36 to the row of orifices 21. -It is to be noted that the interface between Solution A and Solution B extends the full length of channel 23 and flows uniformly over an extended distance, i.e., from the apex of V-shaped channel 35 to orifices 21 (see FIGURE 6).
- Solution A and Solution B together completely fill the entire length and width of channel 36 while flowing as a pair of films comprising a single film moving as a unit in laminar flow over an extended distance in the direction of flow.
- the interface between the film of Solution A and the film of Solution B flowing down channels 36 can be centered over the row of orifices and extruded there-through as bicomponent streams of viscous liquid.
- fibers having the appearance shown in FIGURE 11 can be produced with a high degree of uniformity.
- Such coagulation of the fibers may be performed by any of the coagulation media conventionally used for coagulating such spinning solutions.
- such coagulation medium may be a liquid, a heated gas, or a cool gas depending upon whether the wet-spinning, dry-spinning, or melt-spinning techniques are used for forming the fibers from such spinning solutions.
- the lower edges of the separating plates between slots 29 and 30 which have the V-shaped edges and the Y-shaped channels 23 in guide plate 13 which coact therewith may be formed in exact dimensions so that when properly aligned, as illustrated in FIGURE 1, the ti-shaped channels 35 which are formed thereby have an exact, predetermined thickness.
- This exact, predetermined thickness of the two arms of V-shaped channel 35 makes it possible to distribute each of the two dissimilar solutions to the clearances at a given ratio.
- the resistance to flow which a spinning solution encounters when it passes through the constricted arms of the V-shaped channels 35 may be made sufficiently great by making such clearances sufiiciently small that this resistance to flow may be the major resistance to flow of these solutions along the entire pathway through the spinning head and the spinnerette orifice thus insuring good control of the relative distribution of the two spinning solutions in the fibers being produced.
- orifices 21 in any given row are substantially tangent to each other at the maximum diameter thereof which occurs in the face of spinnerette Ill which is inside the spinnerette holder. Since these orifices are tangent to each other along the line of the centers of the orifices as best seen in FIGURE 5, which line also is the line where the interface between the two spinning solutions first impinges upon spinnerette 11, the laminar fiow of the two spinning solutions is neatly sliced at such location and flows smoothly down the walls of orifices 21.
- FIGURES 7 through 10 there is illustrated another embodiment of this invention wherein a fine mesh screen 41 is interposed between spinnerette 11 and guide plate 13 of a device which is otherwise identical to that illustrated in FIGURES 1 through 6.
- the fine mesh screen serves to apply a small turbulence to each of the solutions flowing in laminar flow down channel 36 to orifices 21, particularly at the interface of such solutions, so as to produce a slight blending of the two components at the interface thereof.
- FIGURE 11 which illustrates a fiber produced utilizing the method and apparatus of FIGURES 1 through 6, it will be seen that the two components there of are quite sharply delineated at the interface therebetween. Since the two components have different shrinkages, in order to produce a curly or crimped fiber, it will be realized that a considerable strain is set up at the interface between the two dissimilar materials. Under certain circumstances it is possible that this strain could exceed the forces holding the two materials together causing a splitting of the bi-component filament into separate portions.
- FIGURE 12 which illustrates fibers made utilizing the method and apparatus of FIGURES 7 through 10, it will be seen that there is a slight blending of the two materials particularly at the interface therebetween. This serves to reduce the strain caused by the differential shrinkage of the two materials and serves to reduce the likelihood of a separation of the two components by spreading the strain throughout a thicker or larger interfacial zone.
- the degree of interfacial mixing achieved is a function of the mesh or fineness of the screen 41 located at the entrance to orifices 21.
- the mesh of the screen is very important and is preferably from 115 to 350 mesh.
- the material of which the screen is composed is unimportant provided it is inert with respect to the substances with which it comes in contact. For example, metal, glass and plastic materials may be used.
- Example 1 Using the device of FIGURES 1 through 6 connected to a couple of metering pumps, equal amounts of aqueous calcium thiocyanate solutions of two different copolymers each composed mainly of acrylonitrile were extruded into a coagulating bath containing 8% calcium thiocyanate and kept at 0 C.

- Example 2 Using the device of FIGURES 1 through 6 connected to a couple of metering pumps. Equal amounts of aqueous-sodium thiocyanate solutions of two dissimilar oopolymers of acrylonitrile with methyl methacrylate were extruded into a coagulating bath containing 8% of sodium thiocyanate at 0 C.
- the spinnerette employed in this example had 200 holes, each being 0.10 mm. in diameter.
- One of the spinning solutions was a solution of 10 parts of an acrylonitrile copolymer composed of 93% of acrylonitrile and 7% of methyl methacrylate ([1 value as measured with dimethyl formamide used as solvent was 0.22) dissolved in a 50% solution of sodium thiocyanate.
- the other solution was a solution of 10 pants of an acrylonitrile oopolymer consisting of 91% of acrylonitrile and 9% of methyl methacrylate (the value as measured with dimethyl formamide used as solvent was 0.23) dissolved in 90 parts of a 50% aqueous solution of sodium thiocyanate.
- the gel filaments were washed with water and stretched in boiling water to 800% of the initial length.
- the filaments were dried to a moisture content of less than 2% in a highly humid atmosphere at a dry-bulb temperature of C. and wet-bulb temperature of 65 C.
- the filaments were further processed in a relaxed condition at C. in saturated water vapor for 10 minutes. After 20 minutes drying at 80 C., the filaments had substantially uniform three-dimensiorral coily crimps.
- test results for the filaments of this example are as follows.
