this discharge portion has an elongated slit and is attached to a tubular neck the elongated slit may be configured in the shape of an 34 i 34 to form two displaceable tongues application_number US 18656194 A description the present invention is a discharge nozzle 1 for a flexible dispensing tube 10 containing paste like or semi liquid substance 12 such as toothpaste ketchup or adhesives it allows flow of substance 12 from the nozzle 1 to be cut off without having to contact the nozzle 1 against the surface upon which the substance is dispensed this is advantageous for example when dispensing toothpaste onto a toothbrush as the flow of toothpaste is effectively terminated without having to rub the nozzle 1 against the toothbrush the transfer of germs between the toothbrush and the nozzle 1 is minimized another advantage of this invention is the elimination of undesired accumulation of substances 12 at the nozzle discharge 14 even after multiple uses of the dispensing tube 10 as seen in fig1 the discharge nozzle 1 includes a cylindrical throat 16 attached to first and second walls 18 and 20 respectively these walls 18 and 20 converge to form an elongated slit 22 the interiors 42 and 44 of these walls 18 and 20 are fabricated from a material having a low coefficient of friction of approximately 0 2 as most if not all of these low coefficient of friction materials are highly expensive one advantage of the present invention is that it minimizes the amount of this material utilized in the nozzle 1 apart.
