Abstract
A housing carries an anvil having an upper surface for supporting the deformable body of a collapsible tube. The header wall of the tube bears against the forward end wall of the housing which is spaced from the forward end of the anvil. An elongate presser element having a rearward end pivotally connected to the housing includes a surface which is arcuately movable relative the surface of the anvil. The presser element is moved toward the anvil to squeeze fluent material from the tube in response to pressure exerted upon an elongate actuating element bearing upon the presser element and having a pivotally connected end proximate the forward end of the housing. An article storage compartment located below the anvil is accessible through a door carried at the rear of the housing.
