US Classification:

428370, 428373, 428374, 428397, 264172

Abstract:

A stretchable synthetic polymer fiber comprising an axial core formed from an elastomeric polymer, and two or more wings attached to the core and formed from a non-elastomeric polymer, wherein preferably at least one of the wings is mechanically locked with the axial core. The fibers can be used to form garments, such as hosiery. A spinneret pack for producing such fibers is also provided.

US Classification:

428 94, 428 95, 428 89, 428 92, 428 93

Abstract:

A pile article having a support strand for attachment to multifilament yarn to form a velour-like pile having loosely entangled filaments in spaced apart monolithic pile rows, a helically wound package of oriented pile articles for shipping and storage, and a pile surface structure comprising pile articles arranged in spaced apart rows on a substrate to form a pile surface that may be flat or moldable, and a method for making a pile surface structure by embedding the pile articles into the backing substrate.

US Classification:

442334, 442335, 442336, 442337, 442352

Abstract:

The invention relates to nonwoven fabrics containing polymeric multiple component fibers which include a core component and a plurality of wing components attached to the core. The polymeric core component has an elasticity that is greater than the elasticity of at least one of the wing polymeric components. The fibers assume a spiral twist configuration in which the plurality of wings substantially spiral about the core. In a preferred embodiment, the nonwoven fabrics have elastic stretch and recovery properties with a textile-like hand.
