A novel filament composed of at least one thermoplastic synthetic polymer, said filament being characterized by having (1) an irregular variation in the size of its cross section along its longitudinal direction, and (2) a coefficient of intrafilament cross-sectional area variation [CV(F)] of 0.05 to 1.0; and a novel bundle of said filament. The bundle of filament-like fibers can be produced by extruding a melt of a thermoplastic synthetic polymer through a spinneret having numerous small openings, which comprises extruding said melt from said spinneret, said spinneret having such a structure that discontinuous elevations are provided between adjacent small openings on the extruding side of the spinneret, and the melt extruded from one opening can move to and from the melt extruded from another opening adjacent thereto or vice versa through a depression existing between said elevation; and taking up the extrudates from the small openings while cooling them by supplying a cooling fluid to the extrusion surface of said spinneret or its neighborhood, whereby said extrudates are converted into numerous separated fine fibrous streams and solidified. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A bundle of numerous melt-spun filaments, said bundle of filaments being composed of at least one thermoplastic synthetic polymer and being characterized in that (1) each of said filaments constituting said bundle has (a) a non-circular cross-section varying irregularly in both the size and shape of the cross-section at irregular intervals along its longitudinal direction, and (b) a coefficient of intrafilament cross-sectional area variation [CV(F)] of 0.
08-0.
7, and (2) said bundle of filaments has an intrabundle filament cross-sectional area variation coefficient [CV(B)] of 0.
1-1.
5.
2.
The bundle of claim 1 wherein the cross-sections of the individual filaments taken at an arbitrary position of said bundle in a direction at right angles to the filament axis differ in size and shape from each other substantially at random.
3.
The bundle of claim 1 wherein the cross sections of the individual filaments taken at an arbitrary position of said bundle in a direction at right angles to the filament axis differ in size from each other substantially at random, and wherein the individual cross sections have a non-circular shape substantially to such an extent that when such cross sections are sampled at random, the irregular shape factor (D/d), expressed by the ratio of the maximum distance (D) between two parallel lines circumscribing a given cross section to the minimum distance (d) between such parallel lines, is at least 1.
10 on an average.
4.
The bundle of claim 1 wherein the individual filaments constituting said bundle have an average denier size in the bundle of 0.
01 to 100 denier.
5.
The bundle of claim 1 wherein said filaments are as-spun filaments.
6.
The bundle of claim 1 wherein said filaments are drawn filaments.
Description:
This invention relates to novel filament-like fibers composed of a thermoplastic synthetic polymer, a novel bundle of such filament-like fibers, a novel process for production thereof, and to a novel apparatus for production thereof
