Abstract
Abstract A spinneret assembly is disclosed that comprises thin individual spinnerets simultaneously exhibiting a great mechanical resistance to pressure and a great number of orifices, in which: the relation between the total piercing area and the total surface of the assembly is between 35% and 90%; the relation between the total number of orifices and the total surface of the assembly is between 0.2 and 25 orifices per mm 2 ; and the relation between the total surface of orifices and the surface of the assembly is between 0.5% and 40%; the spinneret assembly comprising a rigid supporting plate pierced with holes designed for the passage of the spinning material, every hole being coaxially associated with an individual spinneret and having at least one portion the cross sectional area of which is less than that of the surface of the respective spinneret.

A spinneret assembly comprising thin individual spinnerets simultaneously exhibiting a great mechanical resistance to pressure and a great number of orifices, in which: the relation between the total pierced area and the total surface of the assembly is between 35% and 90%; the relation between the total number of orifices and the total surface of the assembly is between 0.2 and 25 orifices per mm 2 ; and the relation between the total surface of orifices and the surface of the assembly is between 0.5% and 40%; the spinneret assembly comprising a rigid supporting plate pierced with holes designed for the passage of the spinning material, every hole being coaxially associated with an individual spinneret, each hole having at least one portion of its length in which its cross sectional area is smaller than that of the respective spinneret.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
125 words
A spinneret assembly according to claim 1, in which: the relation between the total piercing area and the total surface of the assembly varies between 55% and 75%; the relation between the total number of orifices and the total surface of the assembly is between 8 and 15 holes/mm 2 for orifices having a diameter less than or equal to 0.12 mm and between 1.5 and 6 holes/mm 2 for orifices having a diameter greater than 0.12 mm; the relation between the total surface of the orifices and the total surface of the assembly varies between 2% and 4% for orifices having a diameter less than or equal to 0.12 mm and between 8% and 16% for orifices having a diameter greater than 0.12 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A spinneret assembly according to claim 1, wherein said holes in said rigid supporting plate are each defined by an intermediate hollow holder which supports the respective individual spinneret, said supports being fixed in the holes of the rigid supporting plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A spinneret assembly according to claim 1, wherein the intermediate holders are fixed in the holes of the rigid supporting plate by screwing, riveting, sticking, brazing, or joining by forcing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A spinneret assembly according to claim 1, wherein the intermediate holders are fixed in the holes of the rigid supporting plate by screwing on the inner face of the rigid supporting plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A spinneret assembly according to claim 1, wherein the intermediate holders are fixed in the holes of the rigid supporting plate by screwing by means of an intermediate piece.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
