Tube squeezing device

Abstract

A tube squeezing device for squeezing a tube of toothpaste. The device comprises of a body that houses a tubular structure. The tubular structure holds the bottom end of a collapsible tube of toothpaste. When the tubular structure is turned, the toothpaste within the tube of toothpaste is expelled.

1 . A tube squeezing device for squeezing a tube of toothpaste, comprising:
 a body, wherein the body defines a first, a second, a third, and a fourth section, the first section is the base of the body, the second section of the body attaches to the base of the body and has two sides, each side has an upper and a lower part, the sides are arched and equally sized and are directly opposed to each other so that a tubular area is defined between the two sides of the second section, the lower parts of the sides of the second section are attached to each other, the upper parts of the second section must not attach to each other, the third section of the body attaches to the upper parts of the second section of the body, the third section has two sides, each side has an upper and a lower part, the sides of the third section are obtusely angled at a center point, are equally sized and are directly opposed to each other so that a substantially diamond shaped area is defined between the two sides of the third section, the lower part of each third section side is fixedly attached to each upper part of each second section side, the lower part of the third section sides do not attach to each other and have at least a two millimeter space between the lower parts of the third section sides, the upper part of the third section sides lie adjacently to each other and are pressured so that if no object is inserted within the diamond shaped area both upper parts of the third section sides would rest on each other, and the fourth section has two arms, each arm is fixedly attached to each upper part of the third section sides of the body, the arms are linear and are positioned so that a V-shape is formed between the arms; and   a tubular structure, the tubular structure has a first and a second end, the first end defines a handle fixedly attached to the first end of the tubular structure, the tubular structure further defines a slit that runs down the length of the tubular structure beginning at the second end of the tubular structure and ending near the first end of the tubular structure, the tubular structure is housed within the third section of the body.   
   
   
       2 . The tube squeezing device of  claim 1 , wherein the base is a pair of legs, each leg attaches to the second section of the body. 
   
   
       3 . The tube squeezing device of  claim 2 , wherein the device is made of ABS plastic. 
   
   
       4 . A method of using the device of  claim 1 , comprising the steps of:
 obtaining a collapsible tube of toothpaste;   lining the slit of the tubular structure with the midpoint of the V-shaped legs of the body;   inserting the bottom edge of the tube of tooth paste within the slit of the tubular structure: and   turning the handle of the tubular structure so that paste is squeezed out of the tube.
