BAR-SOAP HOLDER.

incense,

- scription.

This invention relates to soap holders, and has particular reference to such holders as are adapted to economize in the use of soap and to enhance the cleanliness of the devices with respect to similar devices commonly in use.

Among the objects of the invention, therefore, 1s to provide a soap dish or holder adapted forattachment to the back of a washstand or the like, said holder comprising two separable parts, one above the other, the lower part being arranged to receive the drip from the wet bar of soap and from which the drip water may readily be wiped or sponged.

With the foregoing and other objects 1n view, the invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed, and while the invention is not restricted to the exact details of construction disclosed herein, still for the purpose of illustrating a practical embodiment thereof reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same; and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. 1

Referring more particularly to the drawings I show a mam part 10 comprising a vertical back 11 and a forwardly projecting horizontal cup-like part 12. The back is provided with a plurality of slots 13 through which T-head screws or bolts 14 are adapted to pass. The screws are adapted to be turned into the wall or other support, and with their heads extending transversely of the slots they will serve to lock Specification of Letters Patent; Patentgdl Sept 12 191% Application filed November 16, 1915. Serial No. 61,769.

the main part firmly but removably to said support. This main part is preferably made from sheet metal stamped and bent into form, the side portions 12 being soldered or otherwise secured, making a watertight cup. The back 11 is struck forwardly forming a pair of open-topped sockets 15 arranged preferably on the same horizontal line and at any desired distance below the top edge of the back.

The other main part of the holder consists of a rack 16, the main portion of which, like the other main part, above described, is made of sheet metal stamped and bent into form approximately saucer-shape and adapted to be supported in a horizontal plane above the cup 12. The bottom of the rack is provided with a plurality of perforations or slots 17 arranged between parallel upwardly formed ribs 18. The front and side edges of the rack are rolled or turned over a metal rib 19, the free ends of which are turned upwardly at the rear edge of the rack forming apair of spaced hooks 20 adapted to be inserted into the open-topped sockets 15, providing therefore a simple, cheap, and yet neat and reliable detachable connection between the rack and the main holder part. A wet bar of soap placed upon the rack is received and supported upon the ribs 18, the drip from the soap passing freely through the holes 17 into the cup 12, where it will be collected and thus prevented from splashing upon and soiling the top of the washstand or the like. This manner of supporting the soap bars insures a free drying thereof without waste, the waste ordinarily being incident to the lying of a bar of soap in a pool of water. Either part of the holder may readily be cleansed while supported in position, or for any other purpose the same may be removed if desired. The soiled water dripping into the cup 12 may be easily sponged therefrom if it is not desired to remove the holder from the wall.
