ABSTRACT:
A holder for squeezing a soft tube, includes a main housing having a longitudinal slot and a hollow cylindrical interior, a center tube gripper having a longitudinal slot for receiving a closed end of a soft tube and being received by the main housing, a cover being assembled with the main housing at one end of the housing and having a plurality of fixed teeth, the cover receiving a key section of the center tube gripper, and a rotating device for rotating the center tube gripper so that a soft tube inserted into the longitudinal slot of the center tube gripper is wound up, and thereby flattened. The wound portion of the soft tube is stored inside the main housing. The rotating device further includes a rotation handle for manually rotating the center tube gripper, the rotation handle receiving the key section of said center tube gripper. A one-way-rotation disc is placed inside the cover, having a plurality of flexible teeth, and receiving the key section of the center tube gripper, wherein the plurality of flexible teeth are deflected and slide over the plurality of fixed teeth of the cover to allow the center tube gripper to be rotated in one direction. The flexible teeth are not deflected in the other direction in order to prevent the center tube gripper from unwinding.
