Application filed April 7,
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EVERETT H. KNEEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Q-Nnsonia, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Clips for Collapsible Tubes; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,
and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represents, in
Fig. l a side View of the lower part ofa collapsible tube, showing my improved clip applied thereto.

This invention relates to improvements in clips for collapsible tubes, that is, tubes such as are employed for containing tooth pastes, creams, paints, and various other semi-liquid preparations. A common form of clip for collapsible tubes consists of a strip of metal folded longitudinally and formed on one side with a slight projection and on the opposite side with a perforation registering vwith the projection, so that, when the clip is pressed upon the lower end of a collapsible tube, it will be firmly retained in place. But in some cases, and particularly when the tubes are of verythin metal, the forcing of the tube into the perforations cuts the tube and allows the contents to escape. Furthermore, in applying these cli s to collapsible tubes, in the process. of lling, great care must be taken to, see that they are properly located, otherwise one end of the clip will project beyond one side of the tube.
, The object of this invention is to provide a cli which may be firmly secured to a collapsi le tube without injuring the tube, and
1923. Serial No. 630,555.
also to provide a clip which will properly locate itself upon a tube, and the invention consists in the construction as will be hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims. I
In carrying out my invention, I employ a clip 5 formed from metal in substantially the usual way, and comprising sides 6'and 7, between which the closed end of a tube 8 is secured in the usual way. In one side of the clip are a series 'of inwardly-extending lugs 9 and in the opposite side are a series of sockets 10 in line with the lugs and forming seats into which the metal of the tube will be forced by the lugs and which provide a rounded surface for such seating. The clip isformed at opposite ends with inwardly- 0 turned fingers l1 and 12. These fingers form stops at opposite ends, so that, when the clip is placed over the end of a tube, the cars will properly locate the clip and retain it in position until the closing operation is completed.
I claim:
1. A clip for collapsible tubes, formed on one side with a series of inwardly-projecting lugs and on the opposite side with a 7 series of inwardly-extending sockets in line with and facing said lugs.
2. A clip for collapsible tubes, formed on one side with a series of inwardly-projecting lugs and on the opposite side with a series of 7 inwardly-extending sockets in line with and facing said lugs, the said clip formed at opposite ends with inwardly-extending ears.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. A
EVERETT H. KNEEN. Witnesses:
