Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for automatically dispensing the paste-like content of a collapsible tube. The apparatus includes a housing having an outer door and an inner door hinged at the bottom to close a bottom opening and two pairs of vertical racks. A collapsible paste tube, installed inside the housing to hold a paste-like content. A dispensing unit consisting of two rollers, moved along the vertical racks to squeeze a fixed amount of the paste-like content out of the collapsible paste tube. A transmission gear unit driven to turn the rollers causes them to be moved along the vertical racks, and an induction type actuator controlled to detect the presence of a pick-up device for picking up the dispensed paste-like content from the collapsible paste tube by an electric eye and to turn the dispensing unit through the transmission gear unit by a first motor and to open the outer door by a second motor upon the detection of the presence of the pick-up device.
