Description

Tube content squeezer

Technical field

The technical solution concerns tube extractors - a device designed to facilitate emptying and more efficient use of tube contents of all kinds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, a number of squeezers are known for the contents of tubes of various designs. The principle of their operation is to gradually compress the surface of the tubes into a flat shape, during which their contents are pushed out.

Compressing the surface of the tubes can be accomplished, for example, by successively winding the tube into a spiral. For this purpose, there are a number of differently designed spanner and winding devices. These devices can easily be used with tubes made of metallic materials. Conversely, tubes made of less or more resilient materials experience complications due to the tendency of the tube to return to its original shape.

Despite various fixation solutions in a coiled form {e.g. rings with notches, etc.) the whole process of the tube bottling is more demanding, requiring greater force and even the squeezing of the tube contents may not always be effective enough.

Another solution for gradually compressing the tube surface into a flat shape is to grip the tube with the jaws, which gradually move away from the closed end of the tube to the discharge opening during emptying. Here, however, the problem of the prior art devices is the problem of sufficiently effective closure of the jaws. and their optimum design eliminating or eliminating undesirable deformation of the jaws when the tube is compressed.

The essence of the technical solution

The tubular squeezer according to the present invention largely contributes to the elimination of the above-mentioned problems of known devices. This squeezer is similar to the known devices consisting of a pair of opposing jaws for clamping and squeezing the tube package. The essence of the invention consists in that the jaw bodies are provided on their inner surfaces with a set of at least two edges of each of the jaws arranged along the length of the jaws, the two sets of blades being oppositely oriented.

The jaw bodies are further provided with at least one means for releasably fixating the jaws in the closed state.

Advantageously, the jaw bodies may be configured as oppositely oriented shape-identical parts, each carrying one of the interlocking lock elements at the edge.

In another variant of the design, the jaw bodies are connected on one of their shorter sides by a hinge in the form of a flexible bridge, with each of the jaw bodies carrying one of the lock elements on the opposite side.

The blades on the inner surfaces of the jaws have an asymmetric triangle profile with a longer leading edge in the direction of displacement of the clamped jaws along the tube surface from its end to the mouth and are preferably made in a slightly convex design to compensate for bending deformation in the closed state.

Flat squeezing wings may be attached to the jaws at their edges lying along the edge systems.

The design of the tube content extractor according to the present invention removes to a large extent the above-mentioned drawbacks of similar known devices. Permanently locks ensure sufficient effective clamping of the jaws permanently.

- 1 C7. 19127 U1 is further highlighted by (at least two) blades on their inner surfaces, preferably still made in a slightly convex design to compensate for bending deformation.

• The squeezer wings can then suitably complement the basic effect of the tube content squeezer.

Examples

Example 1

The tube content squeezer of the exemplary embodiment (see Figures 1 to 3) is formed by a pair of opposing jaws 1a, b for clamping and squeezing the tube wrapper. The jaw bodies 1a, b are designed as oppositely oriented shaped identical parts, provided at the edges with interlocking elements 3a, b of non-detachable locks (see Fig. 2).

On their inner surfaces, the jaw bodies 1a, b are provided with a set of three blades arranged along each of the jaws 2. The blades 2 have an asymmetric triangle profile with a longer leading edge in the displacement direction of the clamped jaws fa, b. they are made in a slightly convex design to compensate for the bending deformation when the jaws are closed, J, b. The two blade systems 2 are oppositely oriented, z? Flat squeezing wings 5 are attached to the jaws f a, b at its edges lying along the edge systems 2.

Example 2

The tube content squeezer in another variant of the exemplary embodiment (see Figs. 4-6) is formed by a pair of opposing jaws 1a, b for clamping and squeezing the tube wrapper. The jaw bodies fa, b are connected on one of their shorter sides by a hinge in the form of a flexible bridge 4. On the opposite side, each of these jaw bodies fa, b carries one of the elements 3a, b of the permanent lock.

On their inner surfaces, the jaw bodies fa, b are again provided with a system tri. along each of the cutting jaws are arranged two second blades have an asymmetrical triangular profile with an extended leading edge in the direction of displacement of the jaws J_a _T B _of the surface of the tube from its end toward the mouth and are made slightly convex in design to compensate bending deformation upon closing of the jaws fa b. Both sets of cutting edges 2 are oppositely oriented.

Flat squeezing wings 5 are attached to the jaws f a, b at their edges lying along the edge systems 2.

Industrial, Applicability The squeezer of tube contents according to the present technical solution can be used for all types of tubes with various contents (food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical etc.). The procedure of practical application of the squeezer is evident from Fig. 7.
