Articles of manufacture (glue-tubes) are disclosed for dispensing of sticky and/or curable substances. In various embodiments each glue-tube has at least two dispensing ports. Additional ports may be used anytime that a port is obstructed by the dried or cured substance. In some embodiments the dispensing ports may be stacked on top of each other or may be placed side by side or be located at different parts of the glue-tube. In some other embodiments the dispensing ports may be colored differently or may be different in size and/or appearance. In various embodiments the dispensing ports may be opened by unscrewing, turning, pushing, pulling, lifting, or by a combination thereof. In yet other embodiments small pumps may be used to dispense the contained substance. According to the present disclosure, inexpensive multi-port dispensing heads may be manufactured separately for retrofitting any store-bought glue-tubes.

An edible paste dispenser for applying decorative icing to cakes and other foods includes a tip assembly that connects paste containing chambers of a dual-chamber pastry bag and directs edible paste into a common extrusion nozzle. The tip assembly includes a pair of mating tubes secured via a locking nut to the extrusion nozzle. The tubes each have a sidewall portion that is generally S-shaped in cross-section and permits stable assembly and cooperative engagement of one tube with the other tube. After insertion of a tube into each pastry bag chamber, the tubes are attached to a common extrusion nozzle. The resulting extruded paste can include two different colored decorations, which can appear swirled S or other curvilinear shape provided by the two engaged cones. The tips of the cones, and paste containing bags, terminate just above the exit portal of the common nozzle.

A paste squeezing tool that allows a user to apply additional manual pressure to the tool so that all of the contents within the tube are squeezed out. The paste squeezing tool is composed of three parts. The first part is a flat body that has a top and a bottom side. The flat body defines a central aperture that traverses along the length of the longest side of the flat body. The aperture is of a width that allows the sealed end of a tube that holds paste to pass through the central aperture. A second part of the squeezing tool is defined on the top side of the flat body, it is a circular mound that extends from the flat body so that it is centered on the flat body. The circular mound defines a mound aperture that runs parallel to the central aperture, the mound aperture is defined so that it tapers from an apex of the mound aperture toward the flat body. The third part of the squeezing tool is a pair of elongated walls that are parallel to each other and that extend from the bottom side of the flat body at an angle of ninety degrees. The elongated walls are positioned on the bottom side of the flat body so that they are adjacent to the central aperture of the flat body.

The invention relates to a tube with an application tip for liquid or pasty material, in particular pharmaceutical. The tube has a tube body with an end which can be closed or has already been closed and with an outlet end. The outlet end of the tube has a tube neck with an outlet opening. Furthermore, the tube according to the invention has an application tip which is elongated in the longitudinal direction of the tube, is connected to the outlet end of the tube, and has an inner channel which connects an inlet opening and an application opening. A closure which closes the application opening is moulded onto the application opening of the application tip. The application tip has a gripping means.

A fluid container includes a support body having a reservoir for accommodating fluid, and a nozzle body attached to the support body. The support body has a lid for closing the reservoir. The nozzle body includes: a formation unit for forming an opening through the lid; a pipe communicating with the opening for permitting passage of the fluid; and a discharge port communicating with the pipe for discharging the fluid. In a first state, the formation unit and the lid are separated as the nozzle body and the support body are engaged. In a second state, the opening of the lid is formed as the nozzle body moves in a direction to approach the support body from the first state. In a third state, at least a part of the formation unit and the lid are separated as the nozzle body moves in an opposite direction from the second state.
