A wall mounted inner housing in which a pair squeeze rollers are mounted in fixed side wall bearings. The front roller shaft can be selectively engaged by the outer housing, a three sided closure that hinges on the roller's shaft, where it serves two functions. Following a succession of direct finger squeezing/ dispensing actions the squeeze rollers are rotated, pulling the tube upwards, thereby compressing the tube, scavenging, consolidating and reconstituting the finger indented tube. The closure is then disengaged from the roller shaft wherein it again functions as a closure. A wall mounted device includes a two part housing, a pair of squeeze rolls set in fixed side wall bearings of inner housing. The outer housing, a three sided enclosure hinges on shaft of front roller, to which it can be locked, so as to rotate the squeeze rolls. An inverted collapsible tube is supported by the squeeze rolls its contents being dispensed by direct finger squeezing the neck of the tube. Periodically the closure is used to rotate the squeeze rolls thereby consolidating the remains and reconstituting the finger indented tube.

[ I claim:] [11.] An apparatus for aiding dispensing of material from a collapsible tube, said apparatus comprising:a support structure, said support structure being securable to a vertical surface;a closure structure rotatably mounted on said support structure, said closure structure and said support structure together defining a hollow space for housing said collapsible tube;a first roller, said first roller being engageable with an end of said collapsible tube, said first roller comprising:(a) a hollow shaft, said hollow shaft comprising gears on an inner surface, said hollow shaft being engageable with an end of said collapsible tube;(b) a second shaft, said second shaft being movable relative to said hollow shaft, said movable shaft comprising gears on an outer surface, said gears on said hollow shaft being selectively engageable with said gears on said second shaft;said closure structure further comprising a bearing fixedly secured to said closure structure, said bearing being engageable with said second shaft to rotate said second shaft upon rotation of said closure structure, whereby movement of said closure structure in a first direction causes said first roller to move in a direction away from said hollow space to thereby move said end of said container away from said hollow space, and whereby movement of said closure structure in a second direction opposite to said first direction, upon disengagement of said at least one roller from said closure structure, does not cause movement of said at least one roller; anda second roller, said second roller being engageable with said end of said container, movement of said first roller in a direction away from said hollow space causing movement of said second roller in a direction away from said hollow space, to thereby move said end of said container away from said hollow space.
