Paste squeezing tool

Abstract

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.

Description

DRAWINGS

[0014] These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and drawings where:

[0015] FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the present invention;

[0016] FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view of the present invention; and

[0017] FIG. 3 is a side view of the present invention.

DESCRIPTION

[0018] As seen in FIGS. 1-3, the present invention is a paste squeezing tool 100. The paste squeezing tool 100 comprises of three main parts. The first part is a flat body 10 that has a top 10a and a bottom side 10b. The flat body 10 defines a central aperture 24 that traverses along the length of the longest side of the flat body 10. The central aperture 24 is of a width that allows the sealed end of a tube to pass through the central aperture 24. A second part of the squeezing tool 100 is defined on the top side of the flat body 10, it is a circular mound 20 that extends from the flat body 10 so that it is centered on the flat body 10. The circular mound 20 defines a mound aperture 22 that runs parallel to the central aperture 24, the mound aperture 22 is defined so that it tapers from an apex of the mound aperture 20 toward the flat body 10. The third part of the squeezing tool 100 is a pair of elongated walls 30 that are parallel to each other and that extend from the bottom side of the flat body 10 at an angle of ninety degrees. The elongated walls 30 are positioned on the bottom side of the flat body 10 so that they are adjacent to the central aperture 24 of the flat body 10.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the central aperture is approximately 0.028 inch and the length is approximately 2.5 inches. The width of the mound aperture at the apex is approximately 0.080 inches and the diameter 1 inch. The length of the flat structure is approximately 3 inches. The length of the elongated walls is approximately 1.75 inches and the height is approximately 0.5 inches.

[0020] An embodiment of the present invention is made of plastic polymers. Other embodiments of the present invention may be made of stainless steel.

[0021] The present invention is used by inserting sealed end of a flexible paste tube through the central aperture 24, then pulling the sealed end of the tube through the central aperture 24 while applying pressure to the elongated walls 30 of the paste squeezing tool 100.

[0022] An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a paste squeezing tool that maximizes the content that is squeezed out of a flexible tube.

[0023] Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a paste squeezing tool that is reusable and that is designed to be easily held by a user when squeezing the contents out of a flexible tube.

[0024] Yet another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a paste squeezing tool that allows the user to control the pressure that is applied to a flexible tube as the flexible tube is being passed through the apertures of the squeezing tool.

[0025] While the inventor's above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope, but rather as an exemplification of several preferred embodiments thereof.
