Collapsible tube squeezing devices for dispensing the contents of tubes containing toothpaste, hair creme, hand lotion, shoe polishing creme, glue, and the like are well known in the art. A review of the prior art devices shows that while such devices exist they have not received substantial user acceptance due to their expense, size, lack of universality, difficulties with operation and the necessity to use both of the operator's hands in emptying the contents of collapsible tubes.
The advent of collapsible tubes formed of plastic, rather than the well known metallic type collapsible tubes, has also presented additional problems which have rendered many pre-plastic tube squeezing devices unsuitable for their intended purposes particularly in regard to removal of the contents of the crown portion of such tubes. Crown portions of plastic collapsible tubes have a tendency to be substantially more rigid than metallic tubes which factor coupled with the resiliency of plastics often employed in the manufacture of plastic collapsible tubes necessitates that special measures be undertaken in order to completely empty such tubes.
