Abstract
A holder is provided for a flexible tubular package of the type used for packaging a consumer product, such as shampoo, liquid soap, cream, lotion, food spread, or a lubricating product. The holder includes a coupling portion with two spaced sidewall portions. Flanges at the lower end of the sidewall portions are in spaced opposed alignment and define therebetween a slot for receiving the neck of the tubular package and the sidewall portions are spaced apart sufficiently to receive the base portion of the tubular package. A web that interconnects the sidewall portions intermediate their ends provides stabilizing support that tends to maintain the flanges in parallel alignment and permits pressure at one end of the sidewall portions that tends to close the slot at the one end to concurrently tend to open the slot at the other end. A support portion that is integral with and an upward extension of the sidewall portions permits the holder to be secured to a support member.
