ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for a collapsible tube, such as a tube of toothpaste, is disclosed. The dispenser comprises a dispenser body which has a base, a pair of opposing sides and a stopper. The stopper extends across one end of the base and has an opening in it which is large enough that the neck of the tube can extend through it, but not large enough for the rest of the tube to pass through. A reversible push block is designed to engage the opposing sides of the dispenser body and to slide along the length of the base to come into contact with the tube and force out its contents. One edge of the push block is thinner than the other. The thinner edge is used when the tube still has much of its original contents. The thicker edge is used by reversing the push block and is used when the tube is nearly empty to force out the last bit of useable product.
