Abstract
Abstract A hollow fiber package body for separation of fluid comprising a core and layers of hollow fibers having a selective permeability to fluid arranged around said core, said hollow fiber layers being formed by tape-like bundles of hollow fibers and composed of the arrangement of hollow fibers in nearly parallel relations one another and in a flat state, and said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in multi-layers by intersecting at least at a spot between one end and the other end of said package body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A hollow fiber package body for separation of fluid comprising a core and layers of hollow fibers having a selective permeability arranged around said core, said hollow fiber, layers being formed by tape-like bundles of hollow fibers said bundles composed of an arrangement of hollow fibers in nearly parallel relations to one another and in a flat state, said bundles having been turned back near the end of said package body while being held by at least one string or band, the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 15 to 50,000 d (where d is the outer diameter of a hollow fiber) and the ratio of the thickness to the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 1/20,000 to 1/5, said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in multi-layers by intersecting at least at one spot between one end and the other end of said package body, and said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in mutually and up- and downwardly intersecting relationships crossing two or more adjacent layers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
A hollow fiber package body for separation of fluid comprising a core and layers of hollow fibers having a selective permeability arranged around said core, said hollow fiber, layers being formed by tape-like bundles of hollow fibers said bundles composed of an arrangement of hollow fibers in nearly parallel relations to one another and in a flat state, said bundles having been turned back near the end of said package body while being held by at least one string or band, the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 15 to 50,000 d (where d is the outer diameter of a hollow fiber) and the ratio of the thickness to the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 1/20,000 to 1/5, said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in multi-layers by intersecting at least at one spot between one end and the other end of said package body, and said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in mutually and up- and downwardly intersecting relationships crossing two or more adjacent layers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The hollow fiber package body according to claim 1 wherein the hollow fiber bundles are arranged around thecore in multi-layers with intersections at an angle of intersection of 10° to 90° taken in the axial direction of said core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The hollow fiber package body according to claim 1, which has a resin wall at least at one end with the hollow fibers thrusting through at least one resin wall.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
147 words
A hollow fiber package body for separation of fluid comprising a core and layers of hollow fibers having a selective permeability arranged around said core, said hollow fiber layers being formed by tape-like bundles of hollow fibers, said bundles composed of an arrangement of hollow fibers in nearly parallel relations to one another and in a flat state, the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 15 to 50,000d (where d is the outer diameter of a hollow fiber) and the ratio of the thickness to the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 1/20,000 to 1/5, said bundles having been turned back near the end of said package body while being held by at least one string and said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in multilayers by intersecting at least at one spot between one end and the other end of said package body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
147 words
A hollow fiber package body for separation of fluid comprising a core and layers of hollow fibers having a selective permeability arranged around said core, said hollow fiber layers being formed by tape-like bundles of hollow fibers, said bundles composed of an arrangement of hollow fibers in nearly parallel relations to one another and in a flat state, the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 15 to 50,000d (where d is the outer diameter of a hollow fiber) and the ratio of the thickness to the width of each hollow fiber bundle being from 1/20,000 to 1/5, said bundles having been turned back near the end of said package body while being held by at least one string and said hollow fiber bundles being arranged in multilayers by intersecting at least at one spot between one end and the other end of said package body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
The hollow fiber package body according to claim 4, wherein the hollow fiber bundles are arranged around the core in multi-layers with intersections at an angle of intersection of 10° to 90° taken in the axial direction of said core.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The hollow fiber package body according to claim 4, wherein the hollow fiber bundles are arranged in mutually and up- and downwardly intersecting relations and are crossed two or more adjacent layers.
