  • Apparatus for dispensing flowable products from tube-type containers
    Patent number: 5421486
    Abstract: A dispenser including a rotatable rod with a flexible member attached thereto. The flexible member includes an opening at one end for receiving and retaining the cap end of a tube-type container filled with flowable material. The pinched end of the tube-type container is positioned between the flexible member and the rod. When the rod is rotated, the flexible member, along with the tube-type container, is drawn towards and wrapped around the rod. The force applied by the flexible member and rod on the tube-type container in wrapping the tube around the rod squeezes out a predetermined amount of flowable material for consumer use.
