Abstract:
A device for moving contents of a tube by acting on the exterior of the tube is provided. The device includes a housing having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion including a tube passageway extending along a length thereof for holding a tube therein. A roller housed within a roller chassis contacts the tube and is configured to move between a first position in which the tube is disengaged and a second position in which the tube is engaged. A second roller is rotatably coupled to an actuator for rotatably energizing the second roller and is moveable between a first position in which the tube is disengaged and a second position in which the tube is engaged. A lever is operably coupled to the housing and configured to actuate a motor to move the second roller to the second position. The first roller and the second roller are configured to compress the tube to move contents within the tube.
