[0017] In referring to the drawings, and in particular FIG. 1, therein is shown a typical cartridge containing caulk or other material 6. Normally, this is a cylinder or tube 1, which holds the supply of caulk, in preparation for usage. The cylinder 1 includes an integrated nozzle 2, onto the top of the standard type of tube, for application to a caulking gun. After the nozzle 2 has been initially cut, and material 6 has been forced from the tube, during usage, as through the nozzle 2, there is normally some remaining amount of material that is left within the upper portion of the tube, and its nozzle, after usage. After prolonged storage, such caulking material can become reasonably hardened, over time, making it impossible to force the remaining material 6 through the nozzle 2, during subsequent usage.

[0018] As can also be seen, the integrated nozzle 2 has a flange 9 that extends out to embrace the upper edge of the tube 1, so as to provide for further sealing at that location, w...

Abstract

Caulking tube nozzle, having a nozzle portion, with an integral base, and having a lip connecting and extending downwardly therefrom, the lip is intended for inserting within the upper end of the caulking tube, and is threadedly engaged, held by a bayonet lock, or other fastener, therein, so that the nozzle can be held in place during usage, or opened for removal of any hardened material, before usage. The base of the nozzle may also under certain circumstances engage externally of the upper end of the caulking tube.
