ABSTRACT:
A toothpaste dispensing apparatus which is designed to enclose a disposable toothpaste tube and sequentially dispense toothpaste from the tube spout by operation of a pair of spring-loaded rollers. The apparatus includes a container having a pair of longitudinal slots, a removable cap and a toothpaste dispensing valve in the cap for registering with the threaded toothpaste tube spout and dispensing toothpaste from the tube spout on demand. A pair of rollers is disposed in the apparatus and the rollers are attached to oppositely-disposed, spring-loaded roller tabs at the container slots, wherein the rollers seat on opposite sides of the toothpaste tube inserted in the apparatus and are biased upwardly against the toothpaste tube by the springs. The springs are sufficiently strong to exert constant pressure on the toothpaste tube and the encapsulated toothpaste and facilitate dispensing of a controlled quantity of toothpaste from the tube spout upon manipulation of the toothpaste dispensing valve.
