Composite filament yarn and process and spinneret for manufacturing the same |
(57) A polyamide/polyurethane composite filament yarn, which filament comprises a polyamide
sheath component and a polyurethane eccentric core component exposed with a neck portion
of uniform width on the surface of the filament, is manufactured by a process comprising
inserting, immediately before extruding from a spinneret orifice, a molten polyurethane
flow obliquely from upwards and incorporating said polyurethane flow eccentrically
into a molten polyamide flow flowing down in said conduit, while a small part of said
polyurethane flow radially projected in a restricted width penetrating through the
thinnest portion of said polyamide flow flows down along the inner wall of said conduit.
For this process, an employable spinneret comprises a leading duct for polyamide connecting
to an orifice via a vertical conduit, another leading duct for polyurethane connecting
to an injection pipe obliquely extending therefrom, protruding into said conduit,
opening immediately before said orifice and having a slit extending longitudinally
at the under side along the entire protruded length.
