Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new container for paste products and more particularly a new collapsible container, such as a tube, for containing and easily dispensing semi-solid substances such as toothpaste.
  • the semi-solid substances like toothpaste, have been packaged in collapsible containers such as the well know tubes that make possible to dispense the paste out of the tube by manually pressing the tube in order to expel the contained paste.
  • collapsible containers such as the well know tubes that make possible to dispense the paste out of the tube by manually pressing the tube in order to expel the contained paste.
  • the tubes have been made from a variety of materials such as metal and plastics, however, in all the cases the paste can not be entirely squeezed out of the tube and an important part of the paste remains within the container which is disposed with this part of the paste therein.
  • US Patent No. 4,565,303 to Gilberston discloses a device for dispensing paste from a squeeze-type tube wherein the device comprises a stationary member and a movable member both members connected to each other in a hinged manner in order to place the tube with paste between the two members and move the movable member against the stationary member to collapse the tube progressively from the rearward end to the forward end thereof so as to expel the paste out from the tube.
  • US Patent No. 5,105,984 to Kazimir discloses a dispenser for extruding paste from a tube wherein the dispenser comprises a support portion hinged to a cover portion with the paste tube being placed between both portions such that when the cover portion is pressed the paste is extruded from the tube.
  • the hinge is adjustable and the support and cover portions have respective resilient liners for providing a spring rate and for snugly holding the tube.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross sectional view of a paste tube with paste dispensing means according to the present invention, with the tube being full of paste and the dispensing means being at a starting position;
  • Figure 2 shows a cross sectional view of the tube of Figure 1 with the dispensing means at a middle position along the paste tube;
  • Figure 3 shows a cross sectional view of the tube of Figures 1 and 2 with the dispensing means being close to the open end of the tube and the paste almost entirely squeezed out of the tube;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a paste dispensing means according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 5 is a cross sectional view of the dispensing means of Figure 4, taken along line V-V, and
  • Figure 6 is a cross sectional view of the dispensing means of Figure 4, taken along line VI-VI. Description of the preferred embodiments
  • the container is of the type comprising a collapsible tube 1, made of any suitable material such as aluminium, other malleable metals, plastics and the like.
  • Tube 1 has a rearward closed end 2 that may be closed by any known technique along a seal 3 by a crimp seal, if the tube is of metal, or a heat welding seal, if the tube is of plastics.
  • the tube has also a forward open end 4 having a neck portion 5, generally of a conical shape, and a cap 6 that can be threaded onto neck 5 for closing an opening therein.
  • the cap as it is well known, may be removed to have the opening clear for supplying the paste when desired.
  • tube 1 is provided with at least one paste delivering means 7 that is freely placed into the tube and has a periphery 8 sealing against an inner surface 9 of tube 1, whereby the paste, indicated by reference number 10, is contained between end 4 of the tube and delivering means 7. Since delivering means 7 is designed to perfectly, or at least almost perfectly, seal against the inner surface of the wall of tube 1, it may be seen that almost all the paste is restricted to remain contained between means 7 and the forward end of the tube without any substantial part of the paste passing towards the rearward potion of the tube.
  • paste delivering means 7 comprises one piece freely arranged within the tube.
  • means 7 has no connection to any outer member but it only remains free within the tube in order to move forward upon the action of the fingers of the user when squeezing the tube at a portion behind means 7 or onto means 7 in direction towards forward end 4. Since a seal is formed between means 7 and tube 1 at the periphery 8 no paste is permitted to pass rearward of means 7 and, therefore, the rearward portion of the tube will remain almost entirely free of paste as illustrated by reference 11.
  • the dispensing means comprises a spherical piece, as shown in Figures 1-3, however dispensing means 7 may comprise other appropriate forms and shapes such as the one shown in Figures 4-6.
  • dispensing means comprises a piece 12 having at least a partial cylinder shape. More particularly, piece 12 has a forward cylindrical portion 13 and a rearward conical portion 14 accommodated to the shape that usually has the conventional tube rearward ends. In addition, cylindrical portion 13 may have also a conical leading shape 15 that accommodates to neck portion 5 of tube 1.
  • Sphere or ball 7 and piece 12 may have a size and diameter appropriate to force all the paste towards open end 4 without permitting part of the paste to pass back ball 7 or piece 12 into rearward portion 11. However, this may cause the user to make an uncomfortable force to move means 7, 12 ahead and it may be convenient to define an outer diameter for sphere 7 and piece 12 a little bit smaller than the inner diameter of tube 1.
  • this ball and piece 12 may be manufactured from a low friction material or may have a low friction coating applied to the outer surface thereof.
  • a low friction material such materials and/or coatings may be selected from any kind of low friction ceramics, plastics, glass, resins and the like, as it is well know in the art. Of course, these materials and coatings should be accepted for food and edible applications.
  • the paste delivering piece may be a solid piece or a hollow piece as well as it may include an item such as a prize, a gift or a voucher for a prize.
  • paste dispensing piece may be made of a transparent plastic and it may be a promotion article or an advertising article.
