DISPENSING DEVICE.
To all whom it may concern: e
Be it known that 1, JAMES H. Born, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State '5 of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dispensing Devices, of which the following is a.'specification'. This invention relates to the general art of dispensing devices, and has reference more particularly to a novel device for dispensing such toilet articles as tooth pastes, shaving creams, and the like, which are commonly packaged for the tradein comnozzles closed by caps. In the common use of such tubes, the paste or cream is disof Fig. 1',
charged-by removing the cap, and squeezing the tube progressively fr to its discharge end,-.the e the'tube being frequently rolled up on itself. But however the tube may be manipulated to get'at the contents, the presentmanual method is crude, unsanitary and'unsatisfactory for a number of reasons." Inthe first place, the sides of the tube frequently crack, permitting the paste toexude and .wasteand smear the fingers of the user. A further source of waste arises from the fact that it is practically impossible to manually squeeze out the entire contents of the tube. Frequently, also, the user forces out of t e tube more of the paste or creamthan is e sired or necessary, and since it cannot be re placed, this meansstill further waste; And again, the partly used tubes are easily'mislaid or lost, unless alwayskept in a par ticular place.- r I The general object of the present invenprogressive squeezing action on the tube from itsclosed end; to its discharge end. Preferably there is, combined with th s holder a convenient tooth 'brushmack also a receptacle to support a drinking-"cup orglass although these latter features may, bf course, be omitted without impairing the s ta ipgimary function of the invention as soon: f
pressibfle tubes having threaded discharge its closed end tied portion of tion is to remedy the faults above enumer- Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept, 14, 1920 Application filed April 10, 1919. serial No. 288,929.
venient and s nitary dispenser of tooth paste and the e from the tube in which it is commonly packaged.
y lnventlon, its mode of use, and the advantages inhering'therein will all be readapproved'embodimentof the invention, and p in which- I v Figure '1 is a vertical "section of the de vice on the line 11 of Fig; 2; I
, Fig, 2 is a vertical section on the line Qk-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3-3 Fig. 4' is a top planview; and Fig. 5- is a vertical section on the line 55 'of Fig. 1. I
Referring to the drawings,- the holder or container consists of a rectangular box-like structure comprising a rear wall 6, parallel side walls 7 having vertical slots 8, a fiat top wall 9, a flat bottom wall 10 having a substantially central aperture 1.1, and a hinged front door 12. The bottom wall 10 forms the immediate support of the compressible tube 13 containing the material to be dispensed, the delivery end of the tube resting on the bottom projecting throu the aperture 11 and normally covered by the usual screw-threaded cap 15 which, when applied, locksthe tube within the holder.
$11 10 with the nozzle 14' ...,Within the .holder and extending twee versely thereof is a roller 16' preferably mesh with vertical racksl9 on the back wall 6 of the" holder. These racks may be sepaformed with a'roughened or corrugated, cylindrical surface. The spindle 16 of the rollerextendsthrough-the guide-slots 8 of the holder, and on one end of the spindle is I a knob '17 for manually turning the same. 'j I--, Fast on the spindle atopposite ends respecratestrips soldered or otherwise secured to I the. rear.- wall of the holder; or, in their simplest and most economical form they may be struck up from themetal of the rear wall. It will be observed that the upper portion of the rear wall, designated b ,6, isslightly I, V [countersunk The purpose 0 this is to provide space between the roller and the rear wall for the folded metal clamping strip that is commonly employed to bind the sides of thetube at the closed end of the latter.
To the rear wall of-the holder is soldered or otherwise secured a U-shaped fastening bracket 21 by which the holder may be secured to the wall 22 through fastening screws 23.
- The mode of use will be readily understood from the foregoing description ofvthe structure. The door 12 isopened, the 'rol'lerjlfi run to the upper end of the box, the loaded tube inserted with its nozzle 14 resting in the aperture 11, and the rollerthen i brought down over the clamping strip 20 of the tube. When some of the tooth paste,- is required for use, the cap 15 is unscrewed,".the"toeth brush held beneath the nozzle 14,?an'd the roller .16 turned down suff ciently to forcev .out the required amount of paste, after which the cap 15 is re-applied and the door 12 shut.
. The distance between the surface of the roller and the back wall of the holder is just. equal to the combined thickness of the two sides of the tube, so that by the use of this device practically all of the paste is squeezed out of the tube by the time-the roller has reached the lower or nozzle end of'the latter,
1 and hence all waste is avoided. The sides of the tube do not crack and break,' because the ironingaction ofthe' roller is uniform and,
does not involve repeated. bending in'the same point-which is the principal cause of the crackin of the tubeswhen'squeezed by the hand. he tube is always in place and cannot become lost or mislaid, and it is largely protected by the holder or casing from dust or dirt. I
Preferably, and 'in'order to adapt th device as completely as ossible to all the/oper ations involved in the cleaning of the teeth, I form on theholder and preferably integral with the top wall 9, an arcuate tooth brush rack 24, and also on the top wall-9 an upstanding flange 25 which forms a receptacle for, a drinking cup or glass.
. slotted side wal iienei zas From the foregoing the structure, functions, mode of operation and sanitary char: acter of the device of my present invention will be readily understood. Manifestly modifications and variations in the structure ,may be made without involving any change in the essential character of the device or sacrificing any of the advantages thereofv Hence I reserve all such variations'and modifications as fall within" the spirit andpurview of the appended claims. I claim q 1. In a dispensing device of the character described, the combination of a holder for a loadedtuhe, said holder having vertically slottedsid? walls and an" aperture support to receive the nozzle of the tube, a roller within said, holder having its spindle extending through the slots of said side walls, a knob on said spindle, and rack and pinion mechanism for causing said roller to travel over and spueeze the-tube as it rotates.
n a dispensing device of the character "described, the combination ofa holder for a loaded tube, sagl holder having vertically s and an apertured support to receive the nozzle of the tube. a rack on the rear wall of said holder, a roller within said holder having its spindle extending through,
the slots of said side walls, a pinion on sa d spindle meshing withsaid rack, and a knob on theprojecting end of saidspindle.
3. In a dispensing device of the'character described, the comblnatior'fof a holder for a loaded tube, said holder having vertically slotted side walls, an apertu'red support to receive the nozzle of the tube, and'also hav- ,ing the upper portion of its rear wall coun- JAMES H. BOYE.
