| 20090120957 | Tube squeezer and method of squeezing a flexible tube - A tube squeezer operable to force matter from a flexible tube includes a frame biased in a first position and movable to a second position, a first member supported by the frame for rotation about a first longitudinal axis, and a second member supported by the frame for rotation about a second longitudinal axis. A lock member is coupled to the frame to selectively lock the frame in the second position. The first member and the second member cooperate to compress the flexible tube when the frame is in the second position. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090302057 | DISPENSER - A dispenser, which is in particular suitable for pasty media, comprises an elastic receiving container for receiving the medium. The receiving container comprises a dispensing chamber and a storage chamber. Further, a dosing member is provided which acts upon the dispensing chamber. In particular with a view to cost reduction, the receiving container is of one-piece configuration and comprises both the dispensing chamber and the storage chamber. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100127016 | Hand-Held Toothpaste Squeezer - A hand-held toothpaste squeezer is disclosed. The squeezer comprises: a housing; a squeezing mechanism provided in the housing, the squeezing mechanism comprising a drive shaft and a driven shaft engaged with the drive shaft via gear at one end, the drive shaft being parallel to the driven shaft and having a gap in a range of 0.5-1 mm with respect to the driven shaft; the drive shaft being further provided with a stepping gear; the inlet of the housing, the gap between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, and the outlet of the housing being aligned with each other; an actuating mechanism comprising an elastic button and an actuating element. The plastic or metal toothpaste tube is squeezed from the bottom up, which prevents the air from entering and reduces the deposit of the toothpaste. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110089193 | SQUEEZING DEVICE AND PACKAGING BAG FOR VISCOUS LIQUID - A squeezing device capable of squeezing a viscous liquid in a packaging bag includes a pair of bag body support parts for stretching and supporting the bag bodies by fixing the front end and the rear end of a bag body and performing fixing of the rear end by applying a tension thereto rearwards; a squeezing mechanism part which is so provided as to be capable of sliding in the direction towards the front end in such a state the rear end of the bag supported by the bag body support parts is held from the upper and lower sides; and a drive mechanism part for slidingly driving the squeezing mechanism part in the direction towards the front end.
