Holding device for dispensing tube

Abstract

This device is a thin, single piece, plastic item formed to be compliant to the radial surface of an aerosol spray can. It is adaptable for application in the manufacturing/distribution process or as a retrofit item applied by an aftermarket user. It has a resilient spring-clip embodiment that provides easy, repeatable slide-motion removal and replacement of a dispensing tube. The stowage position coupled with the user-friendly, single-handed, quick removal and replacement of the dispensing tube eliminates frustrating time lost when time may be critical. The device has an additional embodiment. The area surrounding the spring-clip is ideal advertising space.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A unique single piece holding device for dispensing tubes consisting of: 
 a single piece, formed plastic appliance;    an integral spring-clip with a V-formed retainer groove;    an outward projecting radius lip at the distal end of the spring-clip;    an abundant surface for backside adherence consideration and resulting front side advertising space.
