STATES Specification of Letters Patent. Patented May 28, 1918.

Application filed July 7, 1917. Serial No. 179,240.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, STEPHEN D. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful ceptacles, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a holder for soap and the like having certain features of construction which contribute to the retention of the soap or other article therein, the supporting of such artiof contact so that it may drain perfectly, the draining of the holder of any water deposited therein, and the facile cleaning and drying of the supporting surface of the holder. While my invention may be adapted to any soap or the like holder it is particularly serviceable 1n soap holders built in and forming a cavity in a wall, especially since, being fixtures, such holders cannot be wiped dry and clean with the same convenience as a portable holder.

My invention consists in a one-piece holder for soap or the like articles formed with a forwardly and downwardly sloping draining surface, an upstanding back-abutment, and a plurality of limited-contact article-su porting projections upstanding from sea surface, whereby the water may drain from the article, leaving it substantially wholly dry, and then forward over said surface; my invention further consists in the same construction, with the projections having their tops rearwardl and downwardly inclined and being pre erably front-to-rear extending ribs, whereby the water will drain as aforesaid and the soap or other article will, when placed in the holder, tend to slide toward and rest against the said back-abutment.

In the drawing,

Figure 1 shows in front elevation my soapholder in position in a wall;

Figs. 2 and 3 are vertical front-to-rear secon line 2'-2 of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 showing a modification; and

the soap holder partly making the device a hand-grip, or grabrail, as well as a holder for soap or the like; this bar is arranged at such an elevation as leaves ample clearance above it for the hand and below it for the introduction of the soap.

Upstanding from the bottom wall a are a plurality of projections, here shown as ribs 7, the tops of which downwardly. Thus the soap B or other article placed thereon tends to slide toward the rear and rest against a back abutmenthere consisting of the back-wall a.

The top surface 9 of the bottom wall a slopes forwardly and downwardly. Thus the water draining from the soap down the projections onto said surface drains forward and downward toward the front of the holder. The construction is such, moreover, that the holder may be readily rendered clean and dry by a single forward wipe with a cloth or sponge.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. As an article of manufacture, a onepiece holder for soap or the like article formed with a draining surface slo ing downwardly and forwardly clear to the nt of the holder, an u standing back abutment for the article an a plurality of limitedcontact article-supporting projections upstanding from said surface and having their tops sloping rearwardly and downwardly.

2. As an article of manufacture, a onepiece. holder for soap or the like article formed with a drainig-g surface sloping downwardly and forwar y clear to the front of the holder an upstandin back abutment for the article and a plum 'ty of front-torear extending limited-contact soapporting projections upstanding from said surface and having their tops sloping rearwardly and downwardly.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

STEPHEN D. BAKER.
