摘要:
A spinneret plate for producing a thermoplastic synthetic polymer filament having an exterior configuration with three sides and a generally delta-shaped void extending centrally and axially therethrough, each side of the filament defining a smoothly curved contour extending between a first with a second tip with an inwardly extending depressed region being disposed adjacent to each tip, the void having a geometric center and three major apices, each side of the void being convex in shape and having a first and a second end, each side of the void being formed from two facets that meet to define a minor apex intermediate the first and second end of each side. The spinneret is characterized by a cluster of three Y-shaped orifices centered about a central point. Each Y-shaped orifice has three linear legs joined at a junction point. A connection point of the edges of the two legs located in the straight line connecting to the junction point and the central point corresponds to the minor apex of the void. Each leg has an axis therethrough. One leg of each orifice extends radially outwardly from the junction point with the axis of the outwardly extending leg aligning with a radius extending outwardly from the central point. The axes of each of the other two legs of each orifice project toward a point disposed intermediate adjacent orifices, each intermediate point corresponding to the major apex of the void. Each radially outwardly extending leg is wider than the other legs of the Y-shaped orifice.
摘要:
A bulked continuous filament with a three-sided exterior configuration is characterized in that each side has a smoothly curved contour extending between a first and a second rounded tip with an inwardly extending depressed region being disposed adjacent to each tip. Generally, the filament has an exterior modification ratio in the range from about 1.4 to about 2.5, and a tip ratio in the range from about 2.0 to about 10.0. The filament generally delta-shaped void with three major apices extending centrally and axially therethrough. Each side of the void is convexly shaped and formed from a pair of facets that meet to define minor apices. The void is oriented such that each major apex extends toward the approximate midpoint of one side of the exterior of the filament and each minor apex extends toward a tip of an exterior side. The distance (RM) from the geometric center of the void to each major apex and the distance (Rm) from the geometric center of the void to each minor apex defines an apex ratio (RM/Rm) in the range from about 1.0 to about 1.55. The void occupies from about one percent (1%) to about twenty-five percent (25%) of the cross sectional area of the filament.

摘要:
This invention relates to a new cable-twisting process for making yarns suitable for use in carpets. The process involves cable-twisting together two component yarns. At least one of the component yarns comprises two singles yarns co-twisted but not cabled together. The singles yarns may be differentially colored to provide the resulting multi-colored cable-twisted yarn with good color separation and vividness.

Polyester carpets of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) are disclosed which have excellent stain-resistance, texture retention and resistance to crushing. The bulked continuous filament yarn used to make the carpets and the process for making the yarns are also disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed are processes for application of dyes and topical chemistries to single yarns during a yarn rewind process. The process foregoes the need for downstream environmentally unfavorable dyeing and low PH chemical treatment processes on the finished carpet. Further, neutral pH dye solutions can be used instead of the prior art low pH dye solutions. The single, treated yarn can then be twisted, weaved and tufted, twisted yarn under dry conditions, and the twisted yarn subsequently weaved or weaved and tufted, into a finished fabric or carpet. Also disclosed are systems, BCF yarns, and carpets made from the BCF yarn treated by the disclosed processes.
摘要:
Intermittently colored yarns having an intermittent and random dye spacing pattern, and systems and methods of making the same, are disclosed. Such intermittently colored yarns exhibit higher quality and lower manufacturing costs over the known intermittently colored yarns. The intermittent coloring takes place while the yarn is in caterpillar form. Carpets made from such intermittently colored yarns exhibit enhanced aesthetics over carpets made from known intermittently colored yarns. Alternatively, a stain resist, colorless base dye, or bleaching agent can be applied in the same intermittent and random spacing pattern to the intermittently colored yarns prior to subsequent dyeing. This creates a mirror image like color effect to the resulting yarn.

摘要:
Bulked continuous filament carpet yarns having high levels of bulk are disclosed. When ply-twisted together at unusually high twist levels and tufted into carpets, such yarns produce cut-pile carpets having a superior balance of carpet bulk and newness retention when compared to carpets of identical construction made with yarns having conventional levels of yarn bulk and/or twist.
