A device for squeezing successive portions of a collapsible tube containing a dischargeable material, such as toothpaste, and for winding the emptied tube portion includes a longitudinally split tubular body portion which flexibly and resiliently supports a pair of jaws on opposite sides of the longitudinal slit for extending over opposite sides of a collapsible tube portion from which the contents are to be squeezed. The jaws are squeezed together manually by the user and the emptied portion of the collapsible tube is wound on a key extending into a cylindrical cavity within the tubular portion.

A device for squeezing and winding a collapsible tube, the device comprising: a body including a tubular portion and a pair of jaw portions which are integrally supported on the tubular portion wherein the tubular portion defines a cavity for receiving an empty collapsible tube portion and wherein the jaw portions define an axially extending opening into the cavity and the jaw portions extend outward from the tubular portion on respective opposite sides of the opening, a slotted elongated key for extending axially in the cavity and having a handle portion for winding and pulling an empty portion of the collapsible tube through the opening into the cavity, said tubular portion also having a thickness defining a flexible and resilient wall portion spaced from the opening which permits the jaw portions at the opening to separate and admit a content containing tube portion of the collapsible tube therebetween, said jaw portions having a thickness substantially greater than the flexible wall portion thickness to render the jaw portions more rigid than the flexible wall portion, said jaw portions having inner planar surfaces which extend in parallel planes when the jaw portions are squeezed against the collapsible tube portions to express the contents from the content containing tube portion admitted between the jaw portions, and said jaw portions having outer surfaces for being readily engaged and squeezed by fingers of a user to squeeze the inner surface against the content containing tube portion between the jaws. A device for squeezing and winding a collapsible tube, the device comprising: a body including a tubular portion and a pair of jaw portions which are integrally supported on the tubular portion wherein the tubular portion has an axially extending opening and the jaw portions extend outward from the tubular portion on respective opposite sides of the opening for expressing contents from a content containing portion of the collapsible tube, said tubular portion defining a cavity for receiving an empty portion of the collapsible tube, a slotted elongated key for extending axially in the cavity and having a handle portion for winding and pulling an empty portion of the collapsible tube through the opening into the cavity, said key including a tubular shank with a longitudinal slot therein for receiving the closed end of the collapsible tube, a pin for insertion into and for withdrawal from the tubular shank to secure and to release, respectively, the closed end of the collaspsible tube therein, and said pin including a shaft with a point on one end and a head on the opposite end wherein the shaft has a diameter sufficiently large so that, upon insertion of the shaft into the tubular shank, the closed end of the collapsible tube is clamped between the shaft and the tubular shank, the point on the shaft is designed to bend the closed end of the collapsible tube during insertion of the pin into the tubular shank, and the head is designed to facilitate grasping and withdrawal of the pin from the tubular shank.
