Note: Mechanized devices consisting of a confined box chamber, which may be heated, cooled, or exposed to a steam injection, designed to crimp, fold, bulk, and bend the individual fibers of a tow, converted tow, sliver, or similar assemblage of filaments. To facilitate this method of texturing, these devices are attached to a series of either feed rollers or fluid jets onto which textile fibers are packed or compressed; these rollers then force the fibers into the stuffer box chamber where they are exposed temperature changes while being pressed into a zig-zag pattern. Though this device was originally created for crimping carpets, it was eventually adapted to the textile industry by Joseph Bancroft & Sons.
