Abstract: A dispenser designed to be used in conjunction with a compressible tube of fluent material. The dispenser includes a pair of flexible bands between which the tube is inserted. A compressing mechanism is employed to press the bands together and thereby cause a localized area of the tube to be compressed. Movement of the compressing mechanism is achieved by turning a bottom-located handle. The handle is connected to an inner housing having a helical thread to which the compressing mechanism is engaged. Rotation of the handle causes the helical thread to rotate and thereby forces the compressing mechanism to move along the bands and thereby compress adjacent portions of the contained tube.
