ABSTRACT:
A gas displacement device and method for substituting inert gas for ambient air in a gable-top paperboard carton prior to closing of an open top of the carton. The open top has first and second predetermined dimensions in mutually perpendicular directions. The device includes a source of inert gas, a channel for outputting a blanket of inert gas through an outlet and a conveyor for moving cartons in the first direction so that each open top passes under the outlet. The outlet has maximum dimensions in first and second mutually perpendicular directions which are respectively greater than the first predetermined dimension and less than the second predetermined dimension. The open top of the carton passes underneath the outlet with the directions of the first and second predetermined dimensions being oriented substantially parallel to the first and second directions respectively. The outlet has the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. The length in the first direction of the portion of the outlet which overlies the open top varies continuously from zero to the first predetermined dimension, is constant and equal to the first predetermined dimension, and varies continuously from the first predetermined dimension to zero respectively during first, second and third portions of the passage of the carton underneath the outlet. The width in the second direction of the portion of the outlet which overlies the open top is constant and equal to the width of the rectangle during the second portion of the passage of the container underneath the outlet.
