SOAP SAVING DEVIGE. No. 594,664. Patented Nov. 30., 1897.

SOAP-SAVING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 594,664, dated November 30, 1897.
I Application filed January 12,1897. $erial No. 618,961. (No model.)
To atZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARY E. VERDIER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soap-Saving Devices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates in general to toilet articles, and more particularly to that class known as soap-saving devices.
The invention has primarily for its object to provide new and novel means wherebyit will be possible to greatly economize in the use of soap. Furthermore, to design a device of the above-referred-to class that will be highly attractive, effectual in its opera-. tion, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.
A further object of my invention is to construct a device that will guard against soap being carried away from public wash-rooms and the like. A still further object to provide means whereby soap will be made to float upon the surface of the water and when sufficiently used suspended by a chainzor cord.
WVith the above and other objects in view the invention finally consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, to be hereinafter more particularly pointed out, and specifically described in the claim.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein like letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved soap-savin g device. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of a piece of soap. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a piece of soap.
In the drawings, A indicates a casing made in two or more sections and removably fastened together having an outwardly and downwardly extending portion 13. The underneath face of said portion 13 is apertured at N. Pulleys C O are suitably journaled within the outwardly-extending portion 1).
The reference-letter D indicates a chain or cord passing through the opening 5 and over the pulleys C O. The end of said chain within the casing is attached to a counterbalanceweight E. The other end of the chain carries a suitable lock F, to which is secured a piece of soap. ter Gr.)
A hollow float H carries on one end a stem h, which terminates in a loop h. The piece of soap is so formed as to cover the float, the loop 71 being the only portion that will protrude, said loop being adapted to engage the lock carried by the chain. Preferably a receptacle or basin J is attached on the outer face of the casing directly in alinement with the chain.
The operation of my improved soap-saving device will be apparent from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the several views of the drawings.
The counterbalance-weight should equal the weight of the soap, in order that the latter may easily return to a suspended position when not in use; furthermore, to relieve the strain that would otherwise be caused in case of a heavy weight to the chain.
Particular attention is called to the fact that the soap will always float on the surface of the water and may be easily returned to a suspended position, the basin serving to receive the drippings.
It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction of my improved soap-savin g device without departing from the general spirit of invention. For example, a spring may be substituted for the weight, and the device will perform the same functions.
Having fully described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a soap-saving device, the combination of a sectional easing provided with an outward (Indicated by reference-letand downward extension, pulleys mountedin said float, substantially as shown and dethe upper part of said extension; over which scribed. 10 a chain is operated, and passing through an In testimony whereof I affix my signature opening in lower part of said extension, the in presence of two witnesses.
5 chain carrying on one end a counterweight, MARY E. VERDIER.
and on the other end a lock connecting a piece Vitnesses: of soap, a float provided with a stem carry- H. O. EVERT,
ing an eye, and a coating of soap covering GEO. B. PARKER.
