  • Patent number: 5048725
    Abstract: A tube-packaged-product dispenser is provided with a tube-winder knob 2 at each end of a slotted tube-winder rod 1 that is extended through channels 3 at opposite sides of a container 5 into which a tube 9 is inserted. A magnetic ring 22 with magnetic attraction to surfaces 23 of the channels 3 hold the knobs 2 with sufficient rigidity to prevent unwinding of the tube 9 after it has been wound onto the rod 1. Bondable strips 24, 26, 14, 36, 38 with magnetic or other attraction to each other positioned at opposite sides of the tube are brought into binding contact with each other with the effect of squeezing sides of the tube together and further preventing unwinding of the tube. A spout anchor nut 20 or 43 is threaded onto the exit spout 10 of the tube 9 at the opposite side of the container bottom 11 with an anchor orifice 40 into which the spout is positioned for use.
