ABSTRACT:
A combination tube-winder and dispenser for emptying the contents of a collapsible tube, flattening the empty portion of the tube and winding the empty flattened portion of the tube upon a portion of the device. The device is formed, from a single length of wire in which the base is a clasp portion having substantially parallel spaced apart members for holding, flattening, winding, and dispensing the contents of the tube and the upright portion is a lever disposed at an interior angle of less that 90 degrees relative to the clasp, which uses mechanical advantage to facilitate the winding function. The less-than-90-degrees interior angle permits the upper portion of the lever of the device to be positioned behind the tube and thus passively restrain the tube from unwinding. The device may be disengaged from and reattached to a partially wound tube without completely unwinding the tube.
