Abstract: The multiple button closure-fastener is a separable strip closure-fastener made from a suitable plastic material comprising a multiple conical male button strip and a multiple conical female button strip. All male and female buttons are coaxial at point of engagement and when pressed together the male buttons snap into the female buttons engaging a like curve causing a pulling together of the male and female surfaces, thus making a mechanical closure with a liquid and hermetic seal. This closure-fastener can also be used in numerous instances where there is no need for a liquid or hermetic seal.

Abstract: The locking tube squeezer device is a simple hand held reusable tube squeezer having the appearance of a large key with a slot in which the end of any tube containing a semi-liquid material is inserted. To empty the tube of its contents, the tube is wound about the body of the device and to prevent the tube from unwinding, the device has a slotted handle into which the tube is pushed to lock it in position. The other alternate locking elements are a fork that is positioned around the tube or a folding key handle that folds behind the tube, all accomplishing the intended purpose of locking the tube in place and thus preventing the unwinding of the tube.
