Abstract
A fixing device for a folded paste tube such as toothpaste, 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, wherein the hook parts are cut along the perforated line, the hook part on one side and the hook part on the other side are unfolded and surround a rolled and folded part of the tube bottom end, and the binding parts come into contact with each other so as to allow hooks to be held by each other.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a fixing device configured to fold and fix a tube bottom end to allow the contents to be squeezed well after using tube-type toothpaste, not to unfold the tube bottom end to be an original shape, and to prevent the contents from being moved downward so as to squeeze residual contents well.


BACKGROUND ART

A technique in which two strands of bands formed to have a hook shape are mounted on a bottom end of a tube (a device accompanying the tube when the tube is produced), surround and hold a folded part of the tube and then are fastened and fixed to each other by hooks so as not to unfold and to prevent the contents from being moved downward.


DISCLOSURE
Technical Problem

After using tubular toothpaste, etc., a user folds the bottom of a tube or squeezes it with the help of another device so as to push the contents of the tube toward an exit region. However, due to the characteristic nature of a tube material, a folded part unfolds again which causes inconvenience, such as re-squeezing or squeezing hard every time the tube is used. In addition, a device for squeezing the tube was needed to prevent such inconvenience. However, the device for squeezing the tube also had to be squeezed every time, thus also causing inconvenience. The present invention is directed to fixing a folded tube bottom end so that the tube does not unfold again or so that the contents do not move to the bottom of the tube even without a separate device.


Technical Solution

One aspect of the present invention provides a fixing device for a paste tube such as toothpaste including 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.


In the fixing device for a folded paste tube such as toothpaste according to the present invention, a bottom end of the tube may be designed to allow two hooks to come out. Here, when necessary, a folded part of the tube may be surrounded and both hook tips may be connected to each other so as not to unfold the folded tube again.


Advantageous Effects

According to the present invention, when a tube is fixed once using both designed hooks so as not to unfold, it is sufficient to squeeze the contents, such as toothpaste or the like, only by hand for a certain period. Also, when it is necessary to additionally fold the tube, the tube may be simply unfolded and folded again and a folded part is surrounded and held by both hooks. Due to toothpaste, family troubles are caused sometimes, a washstand does not look neat and tidy, or a squeezing device looks messy. However, with the present invention, it is possible to expect a neat bathroom.





DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS


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



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

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


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.


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.


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.

Claims
