Abstract:
Apparatus for making dual-component fibers (76) is provided and includes a spinner (60) having a peripheral wall (64). The spinner (60) includes orifices (90) located on the exterior of the peripheral wall (64) for centrifuging dual-component fibers (76), with the spinner (60) being divided into at least two compartments (88). The first and second molten thermoplastic materials are supplied to the spinner (60) and directed into alternate ones of the compartments (88) so that adjacent compartments (88) contain different thermoplastic materials. Passages (92, 93) are located in each of the compartments (88) through which the molten thermoplastic materials flow to the orifices (90) on the peripheral wall (64) of the spinner (60). At least some of the passages (92, 93) have branches (92a, 92b, 92c, 93a, 93b, 93c) which form a common inlet adjacent to the interior of the peripheral wall (64) and which communicate with at least two different orifices (90) on the peripheral wall (64) of the spinner (60).
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for making dual-component fibers (100a). The apparatus comprises a distributor (40), equipment for providing first and second thermoplastic materials (A, B) to the distributor (40), a rotatable spinner (90) and a rotation mechanism. The distributor (40) has an outer casing (50) and a divider cup (60) fixedly positioned within the outer casing (50). The outer casing (50) has first and second orifices (56, 58) extending through its peripheral wall (54). The divider cup (60) defines with the outer casing (50) first and second chambers (70, 72) for receiving first and second molten thermoplastic materials (A, B). The first orifices (56) communicate with the first chamber (70), and the second orifices (58) communicate with the second chamber (72). The rotatable spinner (90) includes first and second passages (94a, 94b) in its peripheral wall (54). The rotation mechanism rotates the distributor (40) and the spinner (90) to centrifuge layers of the first and second thermoplastic materials (A, B) through the first and second orifices (56, 58) and to centrifuge dual-component fibers (100a) through the first and second passages (94a, 94b) in the peripheral wall (54) of the spinner (90).
Abstract:
A method of packaging compressible insulation material (10) includes feeding insulation material (10) into contact with a mandrel (14), rolling up the insulation material (10) on the mandrel (14) to form an insulation roll (50), applying pressure on the insulation material (10), during the rolling of the insulation material (10), with a pair of opposed belts (16, 18) which are adapted to contact the roll (50) being formed with an increasing area of contacts as the diameter of the roll (50) increases, and increasing tension on the belts (16, 18) as the diameter of the roll (50) increases in order to maintain a substantially constant pressure on the insulation material (10).
Abstract:
An apparatus (10) is provided for producing a glass fiber package (60). The apparatus (10) comprises a heated bushing (12) for supplying streams of molten glass to be drawn into continuous fibers (14), a rotatable member (20) adapted to draw the streams into fibers and to wind the fibers into a package (60), an applicator (30) for applying a size to the fibers (14), and a drying device (41) for contacting and transferring energy in the form of heat to the sized fibers (14) to dry the fibers (14) before they are wound into the package (60).

Abstract:
An apparatus for making dual-component fibers is provided and includes a spinner having peripheral and bottom walls. The spinner includes orifices located on the peripheral wall thereof for centrifuging the dual-component fibers, with the spinner being divided into a series of generally vertically aligned compartments by baffles positioned circumferentially around the interior of the peripheral wall. A first divider is provided in the spinner for directing the first molten thermoplastic material into alternate ones of the compartments, and a second divider is provided for directing the second molten thermoplastic material into the remaining ones of the compartments so that adjacent compartments contain different thermoplastic materials. Passages are located in each of the compartments through which the respective molten thermoplastic materials flow to the orifices on the peripheral wall of the spinner.
Abstract:
A method for making dual-glass fibers includes supplying first and second molten glass to a rotating spinner having an orificed peripheral wall, where the first glass has a higher viscosity than that of the second glass, centrifuging the first and second glasses through the orifices as molten dual-glass streams, maintaining the dual-glass streams at a temperature sufficient to enable the second glass to flow around the first glass, and cooling the dual-glass streams to make dual-glass fibers.

A polyester resin composition comprises an unsaturated polyester, a monomer, and a thickening system comprising a low molecular weight trimellitic anhydride-modified polyester and a chemical thickener.
Abstract:
A glass fiber insulation product comprises irregularly shaped glass fibers of two different glasses having differing coefficients of thermal expansion, with the irregularly shaped dual-glass fibers exhibiting a substantially uniform volume filling nature, and providing improved recovery and thermal conductivity abilities even in the absence of a binder material.
