Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing viscose filaments from a cellulosic starting material wherein a viscose is prepared from the cellulosic starting material, the viscose is extruded by passing it through a spinneret to form continuous thin strands, the extruded strands are passed continuously through a gaseous medium which contains at least one volatile agent of such a nature, and under such conditions, that a coagulating action on the said strands results, the strands which have thus been coagulated are then brought into contact with an acid medium which causes a pre-regeneration of the initial cellulose, so that the strands are converted to continuous filaments, and the filaments are passed through at least one other acid liquid medium which causes ultimate regeneration of the cellulose.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of manufacturing viscose cellulose regenerated filaments from a cellulosic starting material wherein a viscose is prepared from said starting material until a state of ripening close to its gelling point, the viscose in such a state is extruded by passing it through a spinneret to form continuous thin strands, the extruded thin strands are passed in a continuous way at first through an inert gaseous medium, but through a coagulating gaseous medium, then again the strands having thus been coagulated are brought into contact with an acid medium which causes a preregeneration of the initial cellulose converting the strands into continuous filaments, and said filaments are passed through at least one acid liquid medium which causes ultimate regeneration of the initial cellulose.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of manufacturing viscose cellulose regenerated filaments from a cellulosic starting material wherein a viscose is prepared from said starting material until a state of ripening close to its gelling point, the viscose in such a state is extruded by passing it through a spinneret to form continuous thin strands, the extruded thin strands are passed in a continuous way at first through an inert gaseous medium, but through a coagulating gaseous medium, then again the strands having thus been coagulated are brought into contact with an acid medium which causes a preregeneration of the initial cellulose converting the strands into continuous filaments, and said filaments are passed through at least one acid liquid medium which causes ultimate regeneration of the initial cellulose.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the coagulating gaseous medium contains a volatile agent of acid character reacting with the cellulose xanthate of the fresly extruded strands to produce a third substance which coagulates said strands, whilst gradually initiating a cellulose preregenerating effect on the strands.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the volatile agent is hydrochloric acid and the third substance is sodium chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the time during which the freshly extruded strands pass through the gaseous media is between 0.1 and 1 second.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extrusion and the uninterrupted travel through the gaseous media and the preregeneration acid medium takes place substantially vertically downwards.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the strands having passed through the gaseous media and before having been brought into contact with the ultimate regeneration acid liquid medium are subjected to at least one working treatment.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a working treatment is applied on the strands having passed only through the gaseous media.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a working treatment is applied on the filaments having passed through the gaseous media and been brought into contact with the preregeneration acid liquid medium.
