Abstract
A user friendly dispensing device for viscous materials has an applicator nozzle designed to dispense a bead of material from a squeeze-tube into cracks and corners by being dragged along a surface rather than being pushed. The device has a unique ergonomic shape allowing for ease of application and extrusion of viscous materials such as sealants and caulks squeezed out of the tube. The applicator nozzle is made of plastic; while plastic, a plastic laminate, or metal, is used to make the squeeze-tube.
