Application led April 14, 1914, Serial No. 831,725. Renewed .Tune 20, 1916.. Serial No. 104,806.
T o all whom t may concern Be it known that I, MARCUS E. COVINGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and useful Dispensing-Package, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a package adapted for holding products which are contained in collapsible tubes, and the object of the invention is to provide a casing for the collapsible tube, which will protect the tube, and which can stand erect upon a shelf or table. v
A further object is to provide means accessible externally of the casing for collapsing the tube to expel the contents in the amount desired.
The ordinary collapsible tube is unsightly, particularly when partially collapsed, with its sides dented in, and moreover, it cannot be"stood erect, but has to lie fiat, and it must behandled with care or-the tube will become pinched and expel the contents when not needed if the cap is not screwed in position. All of these disadvantages of the collapsible tube are overcome with the present invention, and itmay be handled with impunity even if the cap is unscrewed, and may be carried in traveling packed among other toilet articles without danger of being squeezed and losing the contents. The package is thus adapted for tooth paste, shaving cream, cold cream, ointments, and other toilet preparations. While of especial advantage for such products, the package is also adapted for any product which may be dispensed from a collapsible tube, for example, certain food products, such as mustard, may be prepared of the proper consistency and'packed in the tube, and the package may be placed on the table, and being covered, the mustard .will keep for a much longer time than where it is kept in an open receptacle.
The device is so constructed that the collapsible tube may be removed from the outer package and a fresh tube substituted, which construction enables the outer case to be formed of'silver or other valuable ornamental design, although the outer case may be constructed of very cheap metal and may be thrown away with the collapsible tube when the latter is empty.
Another obj ect is to provide a construction that will prevent twisting of the collapsible tube when the cap is turned, thus insuring against binding of the key against the margins of the'slot of the case through which the vkey extends. l
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device, with the thumb plece folded against the case to enable closely packing the packages. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 1ra-x3, Fig. 2, showing the collapsible tube partly collapsed, and dottedlines showing it nearly entirely collapsed.
The device comprises an external case 1, which may be of any preferred form, with a bottom 2 and a removable top 3, the top 3 being suiciently tight on the case 1 to prevent accidental displacement. The case 1 has a longitudinal slot 4 in one side thereof. Within the case is acollapsible tube 5 of ordinary construction with a key 6 at its lower end with folding thumb piece 7 which projects through the slot 4, and is accessible externally of the case, so that by turning the thumb piece 7, the lower end of the tube 5 may be rolled up to expel the contents'. The nozzle 8 of the tube 5 projects through the cover 3 and screwed thereon is a. hollow nut 9, which serves as an outer nozzle, and alsoas a means of rigidly fastening the tube 5 to the cover so that the tube 5 is firmly held in proper position within the case 1. A screw cap 10.is provided for the nozzle 9. By removing the cap 10 and winding up the thumb piece 7, the collapsible tube may vbe rolled up from its lower end, which will expel the contents through the nozzle 9. In
packing the device the thumb piece 7 may be v folded against the case 1, as shown in Fig. 1.
It is noted that by providing a screwthreaded nozzle 8 projecting through the top 3 and having thetube seat against the inside face of said top, and providing an ex# ternal nozzle 9 screwed to the tube nozzle and seated against the .outside face ofv said top, the collapsible tube will be firmly held against turning when the cap 10 is turned.
It is essential in a device of this character that the tube be held firmly against movement relative to the case. for if the nozzle end of the tube should be twisted relative to the key end, the operation of the key when said key is wound sufficiently to bring it to the nozzle end of the tube would -be diicult and would not express the contents of vthe tube therefrom satisfactorily.
Devices in general of vthis character have been invented heretofore but in them there has been no provision for positively holding the tube against becoming twisted and disarranged, and I have made provision for thus holding the tube lirmly relative to the case so that the tube will not become twisted and cause the key to bind against the case and thus interfere with the turning thereof when rolling up the tube.
What I claim is:
The combination with a case having a removable top formed with the opening eentrally therethrough, of a collapsible tube mounted in the case and .having a screw threaded nozzle thereon extending through the opening in the top, said tube seated against the inner face of the top, means op-
