Abstract
A roller apparatus for dispensing the contents of a flexible tube may include a housing, a shaft and a cap. The shaft being positioned in the housing and mounted to thereto by rotation in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The shaft may then be enclosed in the housing by placement of a cap on the housing that also functions to engage an end of the shaft. Following insertion of the sealed end of a flexible tube though openings in the housing and the shaft, the tube is taken up into the housing by further rotation of the cap, and thus the shaft. To remove the tube, the cap may be counter rotated to release the shaft (and the tube now wrapped around the shaft) from the housing.
