Abstract
An elongated tubular housing adapted to receive an adjustable external compression device introduced on one end of the tubular housing distal from the opening releasing the contents, and retained in position by a member engaging a grooved strip that is integrated with and/or retained on the housing surface material with a strip surface of like material, providing a reliable, economic and functional outer compression member retention apparatus and method. Further embodiments according to the present invention include a dispenser having regions provided for ease and comfort of gripping, grooved strip end-stop to retain compression device, and grooved strip dimensional and placement details to provide functional, manufacturable and economic material dispenser.
Claims17
A dispensing container, comprising:
- a housing enclosing a volume and comprising
- a length with a first end and a second end, and
- an outer layer;
- a strip of a single material attached to said housing outer layer by a permanent weld therebetween and disposed in position on said housing in a region along said housing length;
- and
- a compression member engaging the housing and the strip and movable along the housing length to provide a compressive force to selectively reduce said housing volume.
The dispensing container, comprising:
- a housing enclosing a volume and comprising
- a length with a first end and a second end, and
- an outer layer;
- a strip attached to said housing outer layer with a permanent weld therebetween and disposed on said housing along said housing length;
- and
- a compression member engaging the housing and the strip and movable along the housing length to provide a compressive force to selectively reduce said housing volume, wherein said strip comprises a thickness dimension extending away from said housing,
- said compression member includes an aperture dimensioned to receive a compressed housing there through and an elongated strip aperture dimensioned to further receive said elongated strip therethrough, and wherein
- said strip further comprises a stop element that comprises a dimension, together with said elongated strip thickness, greater than said compression member elongated strip aperture.
A dispensing container, comprising:
- a tubular housing enclosing a volume and having a length with a first end and a second end, and having an outer layer comprising a first material;
- an elongated strip having a length between a first end and a second end and a single material type having a weld disposed thereon to permanently secure said elongated strip to said housing outer layer and disposed on said housing along said housing length;
- and
- a compression member disposed to engage housing first end and movable along said tubular housing length, and provide compression to opposing outer surfaces of said housing along said length with advancement thereon to selectively reduce said tubular housing volume.
