Patents by Inventor Raymond L. Boles

Raymond L. Boles has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5419964
    Abstract: Flat continuous multifilament nylon apparel yarns suitable for critical dye applications and a process for making such yarns are provided. The process for making the yarns includes spinning nylon polymer with a relative viscosity between about 35 and about 80 and stabilizing to make a feed yarn. The withdrawal speed in spinning is sufficiently high that highly uniform feed yarns are provided. In the process, feed yarn is drawn and subsequently relaxed, preferably in the form of a warp of yarns, so that the resulting drawn yarns have properties suitable for use as flat yarns and have excellent dye uniformity with large molecule acid dyes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 1994
    Date of Patent: May 30, 1995
    Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Raymond L. Boles, Jr., Lee W. Keene, Benjamin H. Knox, Ralph W. Nugent
  • Patent number: 5364701
    Abstract: Drawing, especially cold-drawing, or hot-drawing, or other heat-treatments, of spin-oriented crystalline polyester filaments, and particularly polyester feed yarns, that have been prepared by spinning at speeds of, e.g., 4 km/min, and have low shrinkage and no natural draw ratio in the conventional sense, provides useful technique for obtaining uniform filaments of desired denier and thereby provides improved flexibility to obtain filaments and yarns mixed with nylon filaments.

  • Patent number: 5223197
    Abstract: A process of making mixed filament yarns, involving drawing, especially cold-drawing, or hot-drawing, or other heat-treatments, of spin-oriented crystalline polyester filaments, and particularly polyester feed yarns, that have been prepared by spinning at speeds of, e.g., 4 km/min, and have low shrinkage and no natural draw ratio in the conventional sense, that provides useful technique for obtaining uniform filaments of desired denier and thereby provides improved flexibility to obtain filaments and yarns mixed with nylon filaments.
