DISPENSING CONTAINER MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND METHODS

摘要

Collapsible toothpaste and like dispensing containers having flexible body walls and externally threaded discharge necks are formed by wrapping a sheet of flexible material about a mandrel and fastening overlapping side edges together to provide a tubular body shell having a longitudinal seam, and then inserting and clamping one end of the formed body shell between nested mechanically interengaged inner and outer head structure elements, the inner head element being longitudinally recessed for accepting the longitudinal body seam.
