Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A process for preparing an oriented amorphous polyethylene terephthalate feed yarn for false-twist texturing comprising spinning polyethylene terephthalate at a windup speed of at least 5,000 m./min. and quenching by means of a liquid located at a distance from the spinneret such that the quenched filaments have a boil-off shrinkage of at least 45%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A process for preparing an oriented amorphous polyethylene terephthalate feed yarn for false-twist texturing comprising spinning polyethylene terephthalate at a windup speed of at least 5,000 m./min. and quenching by means of a liquid located at a distance from the spinneret such that the quenched filaments have a boil-off shrinkage of at least 45%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to Claim 1 wherein the spun polyethylene terephthalate filaments are quenched in a water bath.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to Claim 1 or Claim 2 wherein the polyethylene terephthalate is spun at a windup speed of at least 5,500 m./min.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
74 words
A texturing process for producing textured yarns from feed yarn composed of polyethylene terephthalate yarns, wherein the feed yarn passes continuously to a false-twisting device and a heater is used for setting twist backed up in the yarn by the false-twisting device characterised by providing higher bulk textured yarn by texturing at 1.01 to 1.2X draw ratio a highly oriented, amorphous feed yarn produced by the process _of any one of the preceding claims.
