ABSTRACT:
A clip for controlling a toothpaste tube when the end of the tube is folded into flattened coil. The clip is made of a resilient material and comprises an integrally attached front and back member. The front member terminates in an inwardly depending lip which, when engaging the edge of a fold made in the emptied part of the tube, prevents the coil from unfolding and the tube from slipping from the clip. The short lip near the open end of the clip holds the tube in the clip without having the clip clamp onto the tube. Thus the clip opening can be large enough to enable the tube to be easily inserted. The back member flares outwardly, allowing the contents of the tube to be easily expressed therefrom.
