  • Publication number: 20220018044
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a drawn composite fiber having a low thermal shrinkage, and a high single yarn strength, a non-woven fabric using the same, and a method of producing the same. The drawn composite fiber has a fineness of 0.6 dtex or less, a ratio between the cross-sectional areas of a sheath material and a core material (sheath material/core material) of 50/50 to 10/90, and a single yarn elastic modulus of 70 cN/dtex or more. The drawn composite is obtained by melt-spinning and a drawing treatment of an undrawn fiber having a sheath-core structure, in which the core material includes a resin containing a crystalline propylene-based polymer and having a melt flow rate of 10 to 30 g/10 min at a load of 21.18 N at 230° C., and the sheath material includes a resin containing an olefinic polymer where the melting point is lower than that of the core material.

  • Patent number: 10373737
    Abstract: There is provided a grommet with water-blocking performance improved by suppression of deformation of a rear end caused by deformation of a fastening fixing portion. The grommet includes: a rear band mounting portion 415 which fastens and fixes a portion displaced from the rear end and overlapping a corrugated tube 5 fitted in the grommet by using a band-shaped binding band 8; and a plurality of rear end-side annular protruding portion 411, first fixed-side annular protruding portion 412, and second fixed-side annular protruding portion 413 protruding from an inner peripheral face and extending in a circumferential direction and disposed along a front-rear direction X so as to be fitted with the corrugated tube 5 by use of protruding and recessed shapes.
