Container closure assembly

Abstract

A container closure assembly for closing a tube of calk thereby preventing the calk from drying includes a container that may contain a calk. The container is structured to have a dispensing tube. A cover is structured to be positioned on the dispensing tube. The cover completely covers the dispensing tube. A clamp is coupled to the cover. The clamp closes the cover on the tube. The calk in the container is prevented from drying.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A container closure assembly comprising:
 a container configured to contain a calk, said container being structured to have a dispensing tube;   a cover structured to be positioned on said dispensing tube such that said cover completely covers said dispensing tube; and   a clamp coupled to said cover, said clamp closing said cover on said tube such that the calk in said container is prevented from drying.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said cover having an outer wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of said cover, said bottom end of said cover being open, said cover being substantially hollow. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising an outer surface of said outer wall of said cover having a groove extending inwardly toward an inner surface of said outer wall of said cover, said groove being positioned proximate said bottom end of said cover. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , further comprising said groove extending around an entire circumference of said cover. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , further comprising said cover being removably coupled to said dispensing tube such that said bottom end of said cover insertably receives said dispensing tube. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , further comprising said dispensing tube engaging said inner surface of said outer wall of said cover such that an air tight seal is formed between said cover and said dispensing tube. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said clamp being structured to form a closed loop. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 6 , further comprising said clamp being positioned within a groove in said cover such that said clamp extends around an entire circumference of said cover. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 7 , further comprising a tightener coupled to said clamp. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly according to  claim 8 , further comprising said tightener being engaged by a user such that said tightener selectively increases or decreases a diameter of said clamp wherein said clamp selectively tightens or loosens said cover on said dispensing tube. 
     
     
         10 . A container closure assembly comprising:
 a container configured to contain a calk, said container being structured to have a dispensing tube;   a cover, said cover having an outer wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of said cover, said bottom end of said cover being open, said cover being substantially hollow;   an outer surface of said outer wall of said cover having a groove extending inwardly toward an inner surface of said outer wall of said cover, said groove being positioned proximate said bottom end of said cover, said groove extending around an entire circumference of said cover;   said cover being removably coupled to said dispensing tube such that said bottom end of said cover insertably receives said dispensing tube, said dispensing tube engaging said inner surface of said outer wall of said cover such that an air tight seal is formed between said cover and said dispensing tube wherein the calk in said container is prevented from drying;   a clamp structured to form a closed loop, said clamp being positioned within said groove in said cover such that said clamp extends around an entire circumference of said cover; and   a tightener coupled to said clamp, said tightener being engaged by a user such that said tightener selectively increases or decreases a diameter of said clamp, said clamp selectively tightening or loosening said cover on said dispensing tube.
