ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a strap dispenser formed from a tubular container with a product outlet. Within a chamber defined by the container is a piston intregally formed with a strap which advances the piston toward the outlet to dispense material in the chamber. The strap extends toward the outlet within the chamber but passes through an opening outside of the chamber and into a slot formed in the container's periphery. It is the portion of the strap extending outside the chamber that enables actuation of the piston. The opening is defined by a guide around which the strap bends as it moves toward the opening and a wiper which with the guide removes material from the strap. The piston may be formed from a plurality of ribs each having a cutout to pass around the container surface which defines the slot. The smooth surface of the slot and the strap enables the entire contents of the chamber to be quickly dispensed at one time. In addition, the outlet can be provided with a tube to permit dispensing of a striped product formed from two separate materials within the chamber.
