Device for securing a spray can dispensing tube

A device for securing a dispensing tube to a spray can, comprising:

• a retention tab having an aperture configured to receive a dispensing tube;
• means for mounting the retention tab on a spray can, the means for mounting including an elastic band to which the retention tab is attached;
• wherein, when the retention tab is mounted on a spray can, the retention tab is resiliently flexible from a first position, substantially parallel to the side of the can, to a second position in which the retention tab extends radially outward from the side of the can, and the aperture in the retention tab is oriented substantially parallel to the side of the can, thereby permitting the dispensing tube to be inserted through the aperture in an orientation substantially parallel to the axis of the can, and wherein, when the retention tab is released, it resiliently returns to the first position;
• and
• a pull tab attached to the elastic band located adjacent the retention tab so as to facilitate the movement of the retention tab from the first position to the second position.

A device for securing a dispensing tube to a spray can, comprising:

• a retention tab formed as an integral part of a flexible plastic body and having an aperture configured to receive a dispensing tube;
• and
• means for mounting the retention tab on a spray can, the means for mounting including a substantially planar mounting portion of the plastic body;
• wherein, when the retention tab is mounted on a spray can, the retention tab is resiliently flexible from a first position, substantially parallel to the side of the can, to a second position in which the retention tab extends radially outward from the side of the can, and the aperture in the retention tab is oriented substantially parallel to the side of the can, thereby permitting the dispensing tube to be inserted through the aperture in an orientation substantially parallel to the axis of the can;
• and
• wherein, when the retention tab is released, it resiliently returns to the first position.

A device for securing a dispensing tube to a spray can, comprising:

• an elastic band dimensioned to fit elastically around a spray can;
• and
• a retention tab having an aperture dimensioned to receive a dispensing tube, the retention tab being attached to the elastic band so that, when the elastic band is fitted around the can, the retention tab is resiliently flexible from a first position, substantially parallel to the side of the can, to a second position in which the retention tab extends radially outward from the side of the can, and the aperture in the retention tab is oriented substantially parallel to the side of the can, thereby permitting the dispensing tube to be inserted through the aperture in an orientation substantially parallel to the axis of the can, and wherein, when the retention tab is released, it resiliently returns to the first position;
• and
• a pull tab attached to the elastic band located adjacent the retention tab so as to facilitate the movement of the retention tab from the first position to the second position.
