Definitions
- This invention relates to a refillable tube structure, particularly for products of the dentifrice type and the like. specifically, the invention concerns a tube structure of the miniaturized type arranged to contain dentifrice in the paste and/or liquid form , for use in association with a tooth brush. :
- a refillable tube structure particularly for products of the dentifrice type and the like, characterized in comprising a tubular body having dispensing outlet means at one location thereof and refilling inlet means at another location thereof at a distance from said one location and means for association with a pocket tooth brush.
- the tube of this invention is generally designated with the reference numeral 1 and is associated with a brush element 2 similar to a per se known ordinary pocket tooth brush type.
- the association of the tube 1 with the brash element 20 is accomplished by providing an enlarged bottom end portion 21 of the brush handle 22 and a base hole 23 formed in the bottom end portion 21, and by inserting the end portion of the tube 1 into said hole.
- the hole 23 may be a dead hole, acting as a seat receiving with frictional engagement the end portion of the tube 1.
- the inventive tube comprises a tubular body 1', for example, formed from a flexible plastics material and having an outside threaded neck-like open end 2, which open end defines a dispensing outlet which can be closed by a first stopper element 3, adapted for sealed closure engagement with said outside threaded open end 2, e.g. also made from a preferably rigid, plastics material and having an internally threaded nut formation 3' for screwing engagement with said neck-like open end 2.
- a tubular body 1' for example, formed from a flexible plastics material and having an outside threaded neck-like open end 2, which open end defines a dispensing outlet which can be closed by a first stopper element 3, adapted for sealed closure engagement with said outside threaded open end 2, e.g. also made from a preferably rigid, plastics material and having an internally threaded nut formation 3' for screwing engagement with said neck-like open end 2.
- the other end4a of the tubular body 1' is also open and may be closed tight, but removably, by means of a further cover element 4 associable, such as by threading, with said other open end.
- a further cover element 4 associable, such as by threading, with said other open end.
- the tube structure of this invention has, differently from known structures, both its ends open and adapted to be closed by respective stopper elements 3 and 4.
- the bottom end, or tooth paste filling end has an opening of a much larger size, in relation to the opening of the tubular body, than the end whereat the dispensing outlet 2 is defined.
- the miniaturized tube of this invention can be filled, during the manufacturing stage, through the bottom end 4a, and the tooth paste or liquid dentifrice can be dispensed from the orifice 2, e.g. by simply squeezing the tubular element 1.
- the user can easily refill the tube by just screwing out the stopper 4 and introducing a fresh amount of dentifrice, of a desired type, as picked up from an ordinary conventional dentifrice tube of standard size.
- a refillable, miniature-type tube structure has been provided, in particular for products of the type of dentifrice and the like, intended for association with a pocket tooth brush, which additionally to being readily fillable at the manufacturing stage, can be refilled by the user with any desired types of dentifrice.
- the specific materials and dimensions, although the preferred materisl is a flexible plastics, may vary conttngent on requirements.
