Abstract: Textile stock, natural or synthetic, is taken from a carding machine or garnett and delivered to a sloping web infeed pan. Jets of air from air nozzles direct and boost the textile web into a trumpet immediately in advance of pressurized web compressing and feed rolls. Such rolls deliver the web directly into the mouth of a steam injected one piece crimping or stuffing box having a pressurized hinged cover plate to regulate the crimp in the material. The crimped web, after discharging from the stuffing box, is elevated by a slatted conveyor for delivery to a slowly turning crimped stock receptacle into which the stock is coiled without stretching it.
