<p>An apparatus for erecting a carton from a blank comprises a base contacting member for contacting the base of the blank, side wall panel contacting members, end wall panel contacting members, and gusset guide members, wherein the base contacting member is movable to cause the base to move and to bring the side wall panels and the end wall panels of the blank into contact with respective of the side wall panel contacting members and end wall panel contacting members to cause the side wall panels and the end wall panels to fold relative to the base and to cause the gusset panels to fold such that the gusset panels are located exteriorly of the side wall panels and end wall panels. Continued movement of the base contacting member causes the gusset panels to come into contact with the gusset guide members, the gusset guide members moving the gusset panels into proximity with respective end wall panels or side wall panels and further movement of the base contacting member results in the gusset panels coming into contact with respective end wall panels or side wall panels to thereby cause the gusset panels to be adhered to the respective end wall panels or side wall panels by an adhesive located therebetween. -----------</p> |
