Abstract
Abstract A crimpable, nylon bicomponent filament having a sheath of a selected polyamide on an eccentric core of a random copolymer of hexamethylene dodecanedioamide and ε-caproamide units. The copolymer contains about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A fabric comprising yarn of non-precrimped nylon filament consisting essentially of two, continuous, adherent, eccentric components, one component being a sheath consisting essentially of a homopolymer selected from the group consisting essentially of polyhexamethylene dodecanedioamide, polyhexamethylene adipamide, and poly-ε-caproamide, the other component being a core consisting essentially of a random copolymer of hexamethylene dodecanediomamide and ε-caproamide units, said copolymer consisting about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units, said yarn being made into said fabric without precrimping and is thereafter crimped.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A fabric comprising yarn of non-precrimped nylon filament consisting essentially of two, continuous, adherent, eccentric components, one component being a sheath consisting essentially of a homopolymer selected from the group consisting essentially of polyhexamethylene dodecanedioamide, polyhexamethylene adipamide, and poly-ε-caproamide, the other component being a core consisting essentially of a random copolymer of hexamethylene dodecanediomamide and ε-caproamide units, said copolymer consisting about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units, said yarn being made into said fabric without precrimping and is thereafter crimped.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The fabric of claim 1 wherein said fabric is at least the leg portion of hosiery.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A crimpable non-precrimped nylon filament consisting essentially of two, continuous, adherent, eccentric components, one component being a sheath consisting essentially of polyhexamethylene dodecanedioamide and the other component being a core consisting essentially of a random copolymer of hexamethylene dodecanedioamide and ε-caproamide units, said copolymer containing about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
A crimpable non-precrimped nylon filament consisting essentially of two, continuous, adherent, eccentric components, one component being a sheath consisting essentially of polyhexamethylene dodecanedioamide and the other component being a core consisting essentially of a random copolymer of hexamethylene dodecanedioamide and ε-caproamide units, said copolymer containing about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
79 words
A crimpable non-precrimped nylon filament suitable for yarn for making into fabric without precrimping and for being crimped thereafter, said filament consisting essentially of two, continuous, adherent eccentric components, one component being a sheath consisting essentially of a homopolymer selected from the group consisting of polyhexamethylene dodecanedioamide, polyhexamethylene adipamide and, poly-ε-caproamide, the other component being a core consisting essentially of a random compolymer of hexamethylene dodecanedioamide and ε-caproamide units, said copolymer containing about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
79 words
A crimpable non-precrimped nylon filament suitable for yarn for making into fabric without precrimping and for being crimped thereafter, said filament consisting essentially of two, continuous, adherent eccentric components, one component being a sheath consisting essentially of a homopolymer selected from the group consisting of polyhexamethylene dodecanedioamide, polyhexamethylene adipamide and, poly-ε-caproamide, the other component being a core consisting essentially of a random compolymer of hexamethylene dodecanedioamide and ε-caproamide units, said copolymer containing about 25-45% by weight of ε-caproamide units.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
