<p>The present disclosure relates to a stuffing cone apparatus, method for making a gas treatment device, and the device made therefrom. In one embodiment, the stuffing cone apparatus comprises: a funnel having a first end and a second end, with the second end having a smaller diameter than the first end, a pusher detail comprising a pusher disc perpendicularly disposed on an end of a pusher arm, wherein the pusher detail is slideable within the funnel, and a retainer detail comprising a retainer disc perpendicularly disposed to an end of a retainer arm, wherein the retainer detail is slideable within the funnel. The retainer disc and the pusher disc are capable of physically contacting opposite sides of a substrate within the funnel.The method for forming a gas treatment device comprises: disposing the housing at a locating cavity positioned near a second end of a funnel, wrapping a substrate with a mat support material to form a subassembly, disposing a pusher disc in physical contact with a subassembly first side, and disposing a retainer disc of a retainer detail in physical contact with a subassembly second side, wherein the retainer detail extends through the second end of the funnel toward a first end of the funnel to engage the subassembly second side. Sufficient force is applied on the subassembly with the pusher detail to slidably move the subassembly toward the second end, and an opposite and lesser force is applied on the subassembly with the retainer detail. The subassembly is moved from the funnel into the housing to form the gas treatment device.</p> |
