Definitions
- the present invention relates to a winding process for an elastomeric fiber package and, more particularly, to a process for winding a package utilizing a contact roll exerting variable pressure during the winding.
- elastomeric fibers have been used in many areas such as industrial materials, clothing, and disposable personal care products (for example diapers) .
- the elastomeric fibers have been woven and knit into fabrics, stitch-bonded into nonwovens, and directly adhered onto sheet materials such as nonwovens and films.
- the elastomeric fiber is ordinarily provided wound onto tubecores .
- the wound fiber and associated tubecore are referred to as a "package".
- the elastomeric fiber is unwound from the package sequentially or in parallel, either passively (for example, by "over-end take-off") or actively (for example by "rolling takeoff”), and fed to a downstream process.
- the process for winding an elastomeric fiber producing an inflected force profile comprises the steps of:
- Figure 1 is a schematic side view illustrating an elastomeric fiber package obtained by the process of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a plot of the force that the contact roll exerts against the tubecore and package vs package diameter from the beginning of winding to the end of winding in the process of the present invention. This is an example of an inflected force profile.
- Figure 3 shows a cross-section of an elastomeric fiber package made by conventional winding.
- Figure 4 illustrates an example of an uninflected force profile as used in a conventional winding process.
- Figure 5 schematically illustrates an example of a means that can be used in the present process to vary the force that the contact roll exerts against the elastomeric fiber package.
- “Elastomeric fiber” means a filament which has a break elongation in excess of 100% independent of any crimp and which when stretched and released, retracts quickly and forcibly to substantially its original length.
- Such fibers include rubber fiber, spandex or elastane, polyetherester fiber, polyetheramide fiber, certain polypropylenes, and elastoester.
- "Spandex” and “elastane” mean a manufactured fiber in which the fiber- forming substance is a long chain synthetic elastomer comprised of at least 85% by weight of a segmented polyurethane .
- “Inflected force profile” means a plot of the package diameter vs the force of the contact roll against the tubecore and winding package, the plot having a change of curvature, with respect to a fixed line, from concave to convex, or conversely, depending on the point from which the plot is viewed.
- Synthetic elastomeric fibers such as elastane, polyetheramide fibers, and polyetherester fibers can be prepared from polymeric glycols; copolymeric glycols can also be used.
- the polymeric glycol can be a (co) polyether glycol , (co) polyester glycol, and/or (co) polycarbonate glycol.
- the polymeric glycol is typically reacted with a diisocyanate and at least one diamine, alkanolamine, and/or diol to form the polymer.
- polyetheresters a polyether glycol can be reacted with a diacid and at least one low- molecular weight diol to form the polymer.
- Polyether diamines, diacids, and low-molecular weight diamines can be used to make polyetheramides .
- Monofunctional chain terminators such as alcohols and amines can be used to control the molecular weight of the polymers.
- solution- or melt-polymerization can be used.
- dry-, wet-, or melt-spinning can be used to prepare the fiber, depending on the type of polymer.
- Additives and stabilizers can be added to the fiber, provided they do not adversely affect the process of the invention.
- the fiber After the fiber has been spun, it is typically reciprocated transversely to the direction of its travel by a traverse means and wound up on a tubecore.
- the tubecore is customarily mounted on a spindle assembly, and the fiber is wound onto the tubecore with the aid of a contact roll.
- the spindle assembly can be driven and the contact roll can be undriven (freely rotating) .
- the spindle assembly can be undriven, and the contact roll can be driven, thus providing the rotational drive needed to rotate the spindle assembly.
- the force exerted by the contact roll on the tube core is reduced during winding according to a specific profile.
- the force reductions are described herein by reference to the force used at the beginning of winding (the "initial force”).
- the maximum initial force can be lOKg, and the minimum force can be 1 Kg.
- the force is gradually reduced a first time, to about 25-60% of the initial force.
- the contact roll force is then held substantially constant until the final 30%, preferably about 20%, of the winding time, at which point the force is reduced a second time to no less than about 10%, preferably about 10-35%, of the initial force.
- Winding time corresponds approximately to package diameter, and plotting the contact roll force against the diameter of the winding package gives an inflected force profile as illustrated in Figure 2.
- the method of this invention provides an elastomeric fiber package which has a substantially uniform wound width, thereby providing excellent unwinding and shape retention properties. That is, the present invention produces a package as illustrated in Figure 1, which has a small difference ⁇ ⁇ between the maximum value ⁇ raax and the minimum value ⁇ m i n of the wound package width.
- a small ⁇ ⁇ indicates sidewalls that are desirably substantially flat and perpendicular to the axis of the tubecore; such packages have good unwinding characteristics .
- the process of the invention is especially useful for elastomeric fiber packages weighing 3kg or more and even exceeding 4kg.
- any suitable method can be used in this invention as a means to control and vary the force that the contact roll exerts against the package.
- an apparatus as illustrated in Figure 5 can be used in which compressed air cylinder 5 operates on signals from a control device (not shown) to adjust the weight of arm 4 that supports contact roll 3 which rotates in contact with tubecore and package 1 as elastomeric fiber 2 is wound up.
- a control device not shown
- a hydraulic cylinder can be used in place of the air cylinder.
- Other geometries can also be used to obtain the inflected force profile of the invention.
- a 560 denier (622 dtex) Lycra® spandex (Type 127; a registered trademark of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company) was dry-spun by conventional means and wound up on a 175-mm long tubecore to reach a wound package weight of 4.5kg. No finish was applied to the fiber.
- the force that the contact roll exerted against the package during winding followed the inflected force profile shown in Figure 2, in which package diameter (in mm) is plotted on the abscissa and the force that the contact roll exerts against the package (in Kg) is plotted on the ordinate .
- the total winding diameter was about 282 mm.
- the contact roll force was held substantially constant until the end of winding, at which point it was reduced further to about 31% of the initial force, in other words to about 1.8Kg. As shown in Table 1, the difference in wound width was small and the product had excellent sidewall shape and unwinding characteristics. Comparative Example 1
- Elastomeric fiber was spun and wound up exactly as in Example 1 except that the force that the contact roll exerted against the package was increased as during conventional winding and as shown in Figure 4.
- the resulting package had a wound width greater than that of the package of Example 1, showed inferior unwinding characteristics, and had an S- shape (substantial bulge) in the sidewall as illustrated in Figure 3.
