Patent number: 5227142Abstract: Production apparatus for vapor-grown fine fibers, comprising a vertical furnace and a horizontal furnace intersecting each other in an L-shaped configuration. Raw material and catalyst and carrier gas are injected into the top of the vertical furnace to form fine fibers that fall freely through the vertical furnace and land and rest on a conveyor in the horizontal furnace for conveying the fibers through the second furnace while the fibers grow in size.

Patent number: 4925604Abstract: A carbon fiber of high strength is disclosed, each filament of which is substantially circular in its cross-section but which has circumferential ruggedness which extends in parallel to an axis of the filament to form pleats. The ruggedness has a depth of more than 0.1 .mu.m.The carbon fiber is prepared by extruding a spinning solution of an aqueous polyacrylonitrile/pure zinc chloride solution of a specified polymer content into a coagulating bath at a specified draft ratio, followed by washing, drying and stretching at a total stretching ratio of 10-20 folds to form a precursor which is then subjected to conventional stabilizing and carbonizing steps.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1985Date of Patent: May 15, 1990Assignee: Nikkiso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Ohsaki, Koichi Imai, Naomasa Miyahara

Patent number: 4814129Abstract: A process for producing a stabilized yarn for producing a carbon fiber is disclosed. It includes a step for thermally stabilizing a yarn by travelling a continuous fiber through the heated inside of a thermal stabilization furnace. The yarn stabilizing step is characterized in that a tension applied to the continuous fiber at a final stage of stabilizing process is higher than that applied to the continuous fiber at an initial stage of stabilizing process. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed. According to the present invention, a thermal stabilization fiber having a higher strength and a finer radius can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1986Date of Patent: March 21, 1989Assignee: Nikkiso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koichi Imai, Hideo Izumichi
