Description

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0007] FIG. 1 is an exemplary view illustrating a shape and a size of a device according to the present invention.

[0008] FIG. 2 is a view illustrating the present invention located on a (tooth) paste tube and how to use the present invention.

MODES OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0010] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a fixing device for a folded paste tube such as toothpaste according to the present invention includes a tube bottom end formed on one end of the tube to have a certain width and length and a pair of hook parts formed on one surface of the tube bottom end to face each other in a tilted direction along a perforated line cut from one side to the other side in a horizontal direction and the tilted direction, and binding parts formed inside the hook parts. Here, the hook parts may be cut along the perforated line, the hook part on one side and the hook part on the other side may be unfolded and surround a rolled and folded part of the tube bottom end, and the binding parts may come into contact with each other so as to allow hooks to be held by each other.

[0011] As an example, while manufacturing, a tube manufacturer manufactures a tube bottom end by cutting shapes of a hook part A and a hook part B as shown in FIG. 1. Here, a user does not need to additionally cut.

[0012] Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the folded tube is fixed using a device according to the present invention in an order of (1) to (5). (1) First, the hook part A and the hook part B are spread out both ways along the perforated line. (2) The hook part A and the hook part B which are spread out both ways are folded once toward a tube side (side A). (3) The contents are lifted upward (toward an outlet) and an inside of the tube to be folded is flattened and folded once more toward the tube side (side A). (4) An opposite tube side (side B) which is being folded is surrounded by a hook. (5) Both hook parts are held by and fixed to each other. While using the tube, when necessary, the hook parts are unfolded and (3) to (5) of FIG. 2 are performed again.
