Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
18 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein H is equal to or greater than about 300 microns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein one of the fiber-forming components is an acrylonitrile copolymer dyeable with an acidic dye while the other is an acrylonitrile copolymer dyeable with a basic dye.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
155 words
An apparatus for producing multi-laminated fibers comprising independent flow passages through which at least two different kinds of acrylic polymers and copolymers are made to flow down in the form of laminar flows alternately arranged and isolated from each other, a dispersing region filled with a dispersion aid, provided below the said independent flow passages, and a spinnerette provided below the dispersion region, said apparatus having dimensional characteristics defined by the formula PDT 1 < or = H < or = 125PDT 1 wherein P is the center distance in mm. between adjacent independent flow passages through which different kinds of fiber-forming components are made to flow down in the form of laminar flows, D is the typical dimension in mm. of the dispersion aid, T is the thickness in mm. along the fiber spinning direction of the dispersion region and H is the center distance in mm. between adjacent spinning orifices in the spinnerette.
