1 Claim. Y 1
This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in soap dishes, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a device of the character herein described, in which the moisture draining from the soap is collected in a suitable receptacle,
wherefrom it may be conveniently reclaimed.
A further object of the invention is to provide a soap dish which is highly sanitary in character, and in which there are no crevices and the like, such as would normally catch and retain dirt.
Another object of the invention is to provide a soap dish in which the soap may be conveniently applied or removed and which may be easily kept clean.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a soap dish which may be readily transferred from one location to another, such as from a bath tub to a wall, and the like.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a soap dish which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, and which will readily blend with modern styling of domestic appliances.
With the above more important objects in view, and such other objects as may become apparent as this specication proceeds, the invention consists essentially of the arrangement andl construction of parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention;
Figure 2 is a transverse, cross sectional view` of the same;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary rear view thereof;
Figure 4 is a top plan view of the invention, and
Figure 5 is a perspective view, showing the invention in use.
Like characters of reference are used to designate like parts in the specification and throughout the several views.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the invention embodies in its construction a substantially rectangular boxlike receptacle I0, the same being open at the top thereof and configurated substantially as shown. One longitudinal wall of the receptacle is extended above the remaining walls and constitutes an upstanding back II, the same being depressed forwardly from its marginal edge portions to form a shallow recess I2.
The upper ends of the end walls of the receptacle I are formed with rounded, inturned edges I3 and a similar edge I4 is provided at the upper (Cl. i-28) end of the remaining longitudinal wall of the receptacle, as will be clearly apparent from the accompanying drawings. The edge I4, in effect, is suitably secured to the rear upper edge portion of the adjacent wall of the receptacle, so as to provide a step, so to speak I5.
A soapreceiving plate I6 is removably positioned on the open top of the receptacle, more specifically, on the inturned edges I3, the plate I6 being formed with a downwardly arcuated forward edge I'I, as is best shown in Figures 1 and 2. This edge coacts with the aforementioned edge portion I4 and the step I5 to removably retain the plate I6 in position on the receptacle, and a suitable nger piece I8 is provided in the edge I'I, whereby the plate may be conveniently removed.
It will be noted that the plate I6 is depressed in a dish like manner and that it is formed with a plurality of drain openings I9. The plate I6 is also provided with a plurality of spaced ridges 20, on which the soap (not shown) may be conveniently supported in an elevated position, so to speak, so as to facilitate unrestricted circulation of air around the same.
The rear surface of the back II is provided with suitable bearing blocks 2 I, and the vertically extending hooks 22 are pivotally, that is, rotatably secured in said blocks, as is best shown in Figures 2 and 3. The back II is also equipped with a plurality of brackets 23, the mid portion of which is spaced from the back and provided with an open ended slot 24.
When the invention is placed in use, the same may be conveniently suspended from a bath tub, or the like, by simply rotating the hooks 22 into their extended positions as shown in Figures 2 and 5, whereby the same are placed in readiness to engage the upper edge of the bath tub 25.
'When it is desired to attach the invention to a wall, or the like, the hooks are rotated to a position indicated by the phantom lines y26, whereby they are disposed dat against the back Il and do not protrude from the rec1ss I2. The dish may then be suspended by means of suitable nails or screws, the heads of which are engageable with the slots 24 in the aforementioned brackets 23. The position of such nails or screws is indicated at 21 in the accompanying Figures 2 and 3.
The soap, of course, is supported on the ridges 20 of the plate I6, and the moisture therefrom will drain through the apertures I9 into the receptacle I0. The moisture may be easily reclaimed therefrom by simply removing the plate 3 i6 and thus gaining immediate access to the receptacle.
It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be clearly understood from invention it is to be understood that minor 10 changes in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What I claim as my invention is:
In a soap dish, an upstanding wall having a rearwardly turned marginal edge to provide a space between said wall and a surface to which the dish is attached, a pair of vertically spaced bearing blocks provided on the rear surface of saidwall, a foldable suspension hook positioned in said space and including a bill portion and a stem portion extending downwardly therefrom, Said stem portion being rotatably journalled in said blocks whereby said bill portion may be swung to project rearwardly beyond said mar'- ginal edge, and a collar secured to said stem portion and disposed between said blocks.
VERNIE G. PADGETT.
