Abstract
A collapsible tube squeezing device comprises a pair of matching jaws pivotally connected at one end with matching handles at the other end, and a resilient spring for retaining the jaws in a closed position. A collapsible tube zone defined by contact faces of the jaws which are provided with a roughened surface to frictionally engage a collapsible tube. The pivotal end of one of the jaws is bevelled to permit opening and closing of the tube squeezer device and for gripping the crimped end of a collapsible tube to retain it between the jaws.
