ABSTRACT:
A combination of a compact, economical, decorative, rigid, one-piece holder and a squeezable collapsible dispensing tube, where the holder has a supporting base with a planar bottom standing surface to which are attached two side walls such that their substantially planar inner surface face each other and form a substantially upright V-shaped notch. The dimension of the V-shaped notch, such as its height, its top opening width, and the width of the inner surfaces of the side walls, are such that a sufficient length of the bottom section of a full collapsible dispensing tube fits into and is firmly grasped by the V-shaped notch and is securely held in an upright position. These same dimensions should also be sufficient that a partially-emptied, collapsible dispensing tube, which has been flattened and folded a plurality of time--generally about four or five times for a toothpaste tube--fits into and is securely held upright by the notch of the holder. The firm grasp of the V-notch of the holder on an inserted partially-emptied, flattened, and folded dispensing tube prevents both the tube from unfolding and the product from re-entering the folded section of the tube during use. Because of this, the use of this holder greatly simplfies the process of emptying a product from a tube.
