Abstract
Abstract A material dispenser tube in which the closure cap is attached by a flexible fastening member to the body of the tube to thereby prevent the separation of the cap from the tube when the cap is removed from the tube. The securing of the cap to the fastening member permits relative rotation between the cap and the fastening member to thereby allow the cap to be screwed onto the tube body.
