Abstract:
1. A substantially planar partition-forming member suitable for insertion into a dispensing tube having a dispensing end with affixed thereto a shoulder and a neck terminating as a dispensing orifice and adapted to receive a closing cap and an open filling end into which the partition-forming member is inserted prior to filling to form a partition and two separate and discrete compartments within the tube; said partition-forming member having a configuration comprising: (i) an end portion having a neck, (ii) an adjacent portion to said neck sloping downward from each side of said neck so as to conform to the shape of the tube shoulder, (iii) a mid-portion for extending within the tube, (iv) a terminal end, said partition-forming member being first folded along each longitudinal side below said adjacent portion (ii) at a distance from respective outer edges thereof thereby providing a spine between the first folds and two sealing flaps adjacent thereto; said partition-forming member being further folded along each longitudinal side below said adjacent portion (ii) at a distance between the first folds and respective outer edges to form two spaced outer flaps; said partition-forming member being comprised of a material sufficiently resilient that such member tends to revert to its original planar configuration thereby causing pressure of the flaps against the inner surface of the tube.
