  • Patent number: 6719169
    Abstract: A toothpaste dispensing and tube-storing unit that can neatly store multiple tubes of toothpaste in separate compartments and easily and efficiently be used to dispense toothpaste from the tubes. The unit can hold one or more toothpaste tubes, as well as several toothbrushes. Each compartment is open at the top and bottom ends and has a spring-loaded pressure squeeze-bar assembly mounted inside and near the bottom of the compartment. The front of each compartment has an open slot extending from the top opening to near the bottom of the unit for accessing a tube of toothpaste. The unit can be mounted on the wall for easy access. The toothpaste tube is inserted, cap end up, from the top of the compartment with the bottom end of the tube being inserted between two spring-loaded pressure squeeze-bars. When the bottom end of a tube is pulled downward, toothpaste is dispensed from the open top of the tube by means of pressure applied by the squeeze-bars.
