Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tube for a flowable material which is susceptible to flavor loss.
  • collapsible tubes for a flowable material, such as dental cream
  • the tubes normally define a chamber, have a tapered shoulder, and have a neck extending from the shoulder.
  • the tubes are normally constructed from a lami­nate, such as polyethylene, aluminum foil, paper, and polyethy­lene. Although the tubes operate satisfactorily in dispensing the material, it has been found that the material is subject to flavor loss in the region of the shoulder.
  • a principal feature of the present invention is the provision of a tube for a flowable material susceptible to flavor loss.
  • the tube of the present invention comprises, an elon­gated collapsible inner body portion comprising a laminate and defining a chamber to receive the material, with the body por­tion having an outer end.
  • the tube has a top portion comprising a tapered shoulder, and a hollow neck communicating with the chamber.
  • the top portion has an annular body portion extending inwardly from the shoulder and having an inner end.
  • top por­tion is constructed of a material which is resistant to causa­tion of flavor loss in the material.
  • a feature of the present invention is that the tube prevents flavor loss of the material which is dispensed from the tube.
  • Another feature of the invention is the provision of means for securing the inner end of the top portion to the outer end of the body portion.
  • a tube gener­ally designated 10 comprising an elongated collapsible inner body portion 12, and an outer top portion 14 which is secured to the body portion 12.
  • the body portion 12 comprises a laminate 16, such as polyethylene 18, aluminum foil 20, paper 22, and polyethylene 24.
  • the body portion 12 defines a chamber 26 to receive a flowable material 28, such as dental cream, which is susceptible to flavor loss.
  • the body portion 12 has an outer end 30.
  • the top portion 14 is constructed of a material which is resistant to causation of flavor loss in the material 28, such as aluminum.
  • the top portion 14 has a tapered shoulder 32, and a hollow neck 34 for dispensing the material 28 through the neck 34 when the body portion 12 is squeezed or collapsed.
  • the top portion 14 has an annular body portion 36 extending inwardly from the shoulder 32 and having an inner end 38 which is tapered. The tapered inner end 38 of the top portion 14 is received in the outer end 30 of the body portion 12, and the inner end 38 of the top portion 14 is secured to the outer end 30 of the body portion 12 by suitable means, such as crimping.
  • the neck 34 of the top portion 14 has outer threads 40.
  • the tube 10 has a cap 42 with inner threads 44 which cooperate with the threads 40 of the neck 34 in order to secure the cap 42 onto the neck 34 and close the neck 34.
  • the cap, 42 may also be of the captive or flip-top variety.
  • the tube 10 has a top portion 14 constructed of a material which is resistant to causation of flavor loss of the material 28 to prevent dispensing of material 28 through the neck 34 with flavor loss.
  • the top portion 14 has the appearance of the laminate 16 for a pleasing appearance of the tube 10.
