HOLDING AND DISPENSING DEVICE FOR COLLAPSIBLE TUBES Filed July 25, 1951 INVENTOR WITNESSES fl'wzy Q/ZZedikQ 40 blage,
Patented Apr. 18, 1933 HENBY JAIDIKE, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK normme um msrnnsme mvren non cortarsram TUBES I Application filed July 28,
This invention relates generally to dis pensingdevices, and has particular reference to a device which is especially designed to support a collapsible tube anddispense the contents thereof.
The invention broadly aims to provide a device of the indicated character which is adapted to be attached to a wall. or other support to hold a collapsible tube, and facilitate a proper dispensing of the contents of the tube by compressing the same from its closed end toward its outlet end;
The invention further resides in the provision of a dispensing means, which includes a stationary base and a carriage movable longitudinally of the base in which aroller is journaled to roll over the tube for compressing and collapsing the same to expgess the contents therefrom.
More particularly the invention resides in providing the roller periphery and base with co-operative milled portions for obtaining a traction to effect translatory movement of the roller and carriage with respect to the tube and base'upon turning of the roller.
A further feature of the invention resides in the tensioning of the carriage to urge the roller toward the base to ensure an an intimate engagement of the roller with the tube body, and ensure a proper compression and collapsing of the tube and feeding of its contents toward the outlet end, without permitting the contents to flow rearwardly past the roller.
The invention further resides in the provision of a device of the character set forth which employs but few and simple parts, capable of economic production and assemand which device is highly eflicient in its purpose.
With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had to the following specification and accompanying drawing in which there is illustrated a single embodiment of the invention, while the claims define the actual scope thereof.
In the drawing- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in its active use;
' line indicated at 33 of Figure 2;
wardly directed cars 10 formed with aligned 1881. Serial No. 552,709 V Figure 2 is an end view thereof on an enlarged scale;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view, taken approximately on the Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken approximately on the line indicated at 4-4 in Figure 3. i
Referring to the drawing by characters of reference, A designates generally the base which is preferably constructed from a length of sheet metal cut, bent and formed to provide an intermediate body portion 5, presenting a front surface 6 upon which a collapsible tube B is designed to be supported. The body portion 5 is provided with angularly off-set rearwardly directed ends 7, hav ing outwardly directed terminals 8 which are designed to be arranged in fiat contact with a wall or other support C and which are apertured to receive fastening screws or eleinents D. I
The device further includes a. carriage, designated generally by the reference character E, which is preferably formed of a length of metal or other suitable material fashioned to provide a bight portion 9 which extends transversely in rear of the body 5, and is provided with angularly disposed for- 8O apertures in which a transverse shaft 11 is journaled' for rotation. The shaft 11' has secured thereto between the cars 10 a roller 12, and one extremity of the shaft protrudes laterally and is fashioned to provide a manipulating key or handle 13. The bight portion 9 of the carriage E has secured thereto a bowed leaf-spring 14, which is interposed between the confronting face of the bight and the rear surface of the body 5, to urge the roller inwardly toward the base and to tension the same against movement outwardly from the base.
In order to properly support the tube B, means is provided adjacent one end of the body 5, preferably in practice the lower end, for supporting the breast F of the tube, and for receiving therethrough the threaded outlet neck G. While this means may be variously made, it is preferably in the nature of IE an apertured lug 15 which is cutand upstruck from the lower end portion 7 and protrudes outwardly at substantially a right angle to the plane of the body 5 of the base. The aperture 16, formed in the lug, is preferably of a suflicient diameter to permit the device to be used in connection with collapsible tubes B of various sizes.
In order to obtain a proper traction to effect translatory movement of the roller and carriage with respect to the tube and base upon turnin of the roller, the roller periphery is mille as at 17 and the surface 6 of the base is formed with a co-operative milled portion 18. This, in addition to obtaining struck from one of said opposite end portions defining means at one end of the base for suporting the breast of a collapsible tube and for receiving therethrough the threaded outlet neck portion, a carnage movable longitudinally of the base said carriage having a bight portion extending transversely of and in rear of said body, and having outwardly a proper traction of the roller and the tube, projecting angular ears,andaroller journaled also prevents the relative longitudinal movement of the tube with respect to the body portion 5 of the base.
In practice, the carriage E is arranged adjacent the upper end of the body portion 5 of the base, the neck G of the tube Bis inserted in the aperture 16 of the lug 15, and the carriage is then lowered to a position where the roller engages with the upper closed end of the tube. Initial turning movement of the key or handle 13 in a counterclockwise direction, as illustrated in Figure 1, will exert a' compression upon the upper closed end of the tube for expressing or feeding the contents through the outlet end. Ob-' viously, as the contents are dispensed the carriage and roller will move downwardly, flattening the tube until the entire contents have been d. v
While there has been illustrated and described the preferred form of the invention it is to be understood that no limitation is intended as to precise structural details, and that variations and modifications which properly fall within the scope of the claims may be resorted to when desired.
What is claimed is:
1. A device for holding a collapsible tube and dispensing the contents thereof including a base adapted for attachment to a support, said base having a supporting surface upon which the tube is arranged, means at one end of the base for supporting the breast of a collapsible tube and for receiving therethrough the threaded outlet neck thereof, a carriage embracing the base and guided thereby 'for longitudinal movement with reference thereto, a roller journaled in said carriage to roll over the tube from its closed end toward its outlet end to compress the tube and dispense its contents, and milled portions of the roller periphery and the base functioning to obtain a traction of the roller on the tube to effect translatory movementof the roller and carriage with respect to the tube and base, and for preventing relative movement of the tube with respect to the base.
2. A device for holding a collapsible tube and dispensing the contents thereof, includm said ears to roll over the tube from its closed end to the outlet end to compress the tube and dispense its contents.
