Description

  The present invention relates to a tube squeezing tool that can easily squeeze out the contents contained in a tube such as toothpaste and cosmetics and use up the contents to the end.

  Conventionally, a tube container is composed of a tube main body, a mouth-and-neck portion, and a cap, and after removing the cap, the contents are extruded and used from the extrusion port. When the content in the container is reduced, the container is turned upside down, the content is moved to the mouth and neck, and the moved content is usually taken out from the extrusion port. However, with such a structure, even if the contents of the tube body can be taken out, it is difficult to take out the contents remaining in the mouth and neck.

  As means commonly used at home, cutting near the mouth and neck of the tube body is performed. Although such a cutting means can take out the contents almost certainly and can be used up to the end, it is troublesome to cut the tube one by one, and the cut tube is not preferable in terms of aesthetics.

Various types of tube squeezers and tube squeezers have been proposed.
The device according to Patent Document 1 proposes a compact tube squeezer using two rollers with a constant gap. That is, the contents are squeezed out by passing a tube container using the contents to some extent between the two rollers from the bottom and tightening the tube between the rollers.
The tube squeezer according to Patent Document 2 is a tube squeezer that is applied to a tube filled with paste-like contents and used to squeeze the contents, and is at least a tube mouth of the tube. The upper member and the lower member are arranged opposite to each other with a slit that can be inserted through the tip opposite to the upper end, and the upper member and the lower member are arranged in parallel to each other and from the penetration direction of the slit. When viewed, the positions avoiding the slits are connected to each other by the connecting members, and the connecting members elastically regulate the relative displacement in the slit width direction of the upper and lower members, There has been proposed a structure in which the interval of the lower member in the slit width direction is kept constant.

  Further, in the tube squeezing tool according to Patent Document 3, the upper roll and the lower roll of the holder are arranged in a required contact state, and the tube is directed from the front opening (passage) to the rear opening (passage) between both rolls. Is inserted from the tail, a handle is connected to one shaft end of the upper roll, a support plate is swingably provided in front of the lower roll of the holder, and the support plate is slidable back and forth and vertically. There is provided a device in which a pressing shaft is inserted so as to freely advance and retract, a pressing element is bonded to the upper end of the pressing shaft, and a pressing head is bonded to the lower end.

However, the squeezing tool according to Patent Document 1 is different in thickness in the case of a tube container containing toothpaste or a tube container containing cosmetics, and therefore the gap between the rollers cannot be squeezed if it is wider than the thickness of the tube. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is necessary to manufacture a narrowing tool having various gaps.
In the squeezing tool according to Patent Document 2, it is possible to easily squeeze out the contents of the tube without taking a place, and to prevent air from entering the tube when the contents are squeezed out. Although it is possible, it is difficult to discharge the last remaining contents.
In addition, although the squeezing tool according to Patent Document 3 can squeeze the contents remaining in the immediate vicinity of the mouth, the structure is a little complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.

  In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to produce a simple structure at low cost, easily discharge the contents of a tube containing toothpaste and cosmetics, etc. It is to provide a tube squeezing tool that can be used up.

  A tube squeezer according to the present invention is a tube squeezer used for squeezing the contents of a tube filled with paste-like contents therein, with two shafts and a squeezing bar at a predetermined interval. The rollers are connected to the connecting member in parallel, and the rollers are rotatably provided on the two shafts. The squeezing bar and the two rollers each have a gap through which the closed end of the tube can be inserted. The gap between the ironing bar and each roller and the gap between the two rollers have different distances. It should be noted that the gap between the ironing bar and the roller is preferably narrower than the gap between the two rollers. With such a configuration, the last remaining contents can be taken out.

  Further, the gap between the ironing bar and the roller may be variable by bending the both ends of the ironing bar into an L shape and connecting the ironing bar to a connecting member so as to be rotatable.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily discharge the contents of a tube containing toothpaste, cosmetics, etc., and use up the contents to the end. Furthermore, the structure of the present invention is simple and has the effect of reducing manufacturing costs.
