  • Dual capillary spinneret for production of homofilament crimp fibers
    Patent number: 6830640
    Abstract: Robust homofilament fibers are meltspun from a differently shaped dual capillary spinneret design to induce differential fiber morphology to produce crimping. Crimping may further be aided by quenching and drawing of the fibers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2004
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.
    Inventors: Jose Enrique Maldonado, Kurtis Lee Brown, Jeffrey D. Shelley, Braulio Polanco
  • Dual capillary spinneret with single outlet for production of homofilament crimp fibers
    Patent number: 6619947
    Abstract: Robust round homofilament fibers are meltspun from a spinneret having two conjoined capillaries of different length to diameter ratio to induce differential shear to produce fiber crimping. Crimping may further be aided by quenching of the fibers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 16, 2003
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.
    Inventors: Jose E. Maldonado, Jeffrey D. Shelley, Richard Daniel Pike, Michael C. Cook
