Abstract: A device for progressively collapsing large size tubular containers, the device including a handgrip on which is fixedly mounted a frame of a pair of frames with the remaining frame adapted for pivoted opening and closing movement relative the mounted frame. Each frame carries a corrugated roller which mesh with one another and upon rotation collapse a tube passing therebetween. A lever and roller clutch impart unidirectional rotation to the rollers. Cantilever bearings support the rollers and are of a resilient nature to permit displacement of the roller axes while biasing the rollers toward one another and the intermediate tube wall. Roller configuration includes ridges and grooves terminating in surfaces formed on like radii to provide a progressive wedging action on the tube wall. A handgrip is provided which, along with the lever, provides convenient manual control of the tubular container.
