Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A spinneret for the production of filaments of essentially round cross-section with at least seven continuous voids along the filaments, one void being centrally located, said spinneret comprising: a plate having upper and lower surfaces connected by a capillary, said capillary being defined at said lower surface by a plurality of segments equispaced a distance from and equispaced angularly about the center of the capillary, each of said segments being defined by an inner arcuate slot, connected to an outer arcuate slot by another elongated slot located between and in communication with said inner and said outer arcuate slots.
