Patent ID: 8685311

Claim:
A melt spinning method for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric with fibers made of resin, the method comprising: extruding melted resin from a nozzle; and blowing hot air toward a periphery of the nozzle in a direction in which the melted resin is extruded during the extruding, thereby forming fibers made of the melted resin, wherein the blowing the hot air includes: blowing a primary hot air from around the nozzle and along the extrusion direction of the melted resin; and blowing a secondary hot air onto the outer periphery of the primary hot air such that the secondary hot air is blown in a direction parallel to the blown primary hot air, wherein a discharge angle of the secondary hot air is set in a range of 0Â° to 50Â° with respect to the extrusion direction of the melted resin extruded from the nozzle, the secondary hot air forming an air curtain for shielding the primary hot air from the atmospheric air.
