(57) A packaging tube for dispensing liquid materials, particularly cyanoacrylate adhesives,
comprises:-
(a) an outer hollow cylinder (1) having a crimp (4) at one end and a nozzle (2) at
the other end to dispense material from the tube, the outer hollow cylinder (1) being
made of a ductile material; and
(b) an inner hollow cylinder (3) located within the outer cylinder (1), the inner
cylinder (3) being made of an elastic material such as plastics or stainless steel,
the inner cylinder (3) being located adjacent the outer cylinder (1) and containing
the material to be dispensed, such that upon compression of the outer cylinder (1)
the inner cylinder (3) is compressed from its original shape, thereby dispensing material
out of the nozzle (2) and upon release of compression of the outer cylinder (1) the
elastic material of the inner cylinder (3) resumes its original shape and concurrently
reforms and retracts nondispensed material contained in the nozzle.
