Abstract:
A method for dispensing viscous pastes from conventional squeezable tubes having a threaded cap member, said threaded cap member further comprising a threaded cap top and a threaded neck forming a conduit, utilizing a paste dispensing device comprised of:a cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame, employing a plurality of dispensing cap members having dispensing cap tops attached to dispensing cap necks forming dispensing conduits, positioned along the longitudinal axis and lateral axis with respect to the length of said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame;said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame further comprising a threaded connecting conduit centrally positioned on said longitudinal axis of said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame, and opposite said plurality of dispensing cap members; anda threaded connecting cap member forming a conduit, said connecting cap member having inner and outer threads, wherein said paste is dispensed by use of a method comprising the following steps:unscrewing said conventional squeezable tube's threaded cap top, from said conventional squeezable tube's threaded neck, for exposing said squeezable tube neck's conduit;threadedly connecting said threaded connecting cap member's outer threads to said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame's threaded connecting conduit;threadedly connecting said treaded connecting cap member's inner threads to said conventional squeezable tube's threaded neck;opening a desired number of dispensing cap members by removing a desired number of said plurality of dispensing cap tops from said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame; for exposing a corresponding desired number of said dispensing cap necks forming dispensing conduits; andsqueezing said squeezable tube wherein said paste flows:through said squeezable tube's neck's conduit,through said threaded connecting cap's conduit,through said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame's threaded connecting conduit,through said cylindrically shaped hollow tubular frame, past said plurality of attached dispensing cap members, towards said desired number of detached dispensing cap members and, out of sad desired number of dispensing cap necks' conduits; whereby said paste is dispensed from said dispensing device.
