Abstract
This invention relates to spinnerets having orifices of unique cross-sections, the spinnerets being useful for extruding therethrough filaments having 'U' and 'E' shaped cross-sections with stabilizing legs. The use of strategically placed stabilizing legs allow the filaments to maintain the desired shape. The 'U' shaped filament cross-section provides improved drainage over previous filament cross-sections.
