Striped soap forming method wherein a column of a first soap being forced through a plodder cone has a plurality of spaced streams of a dif-ferent soap having the same beta phase content imbedded in and along its peripheral surface within the cone and prior to extrusion.
Description
~o497Z5 This invention relates to methods for the --manufacture of striped soap, and the resultant product, and is particularly directed to the manufacture of composite soap bars wherein a body of a first or main soap has a plurality of surface imbedded bodies of a different soap or -soaps presenting a distinct striped appearanceO
Apparatus and method for the manufacture of striped soap have been proposed, as for example in the patents to W.Ao Kelley et al, Nos. 3,268,970; 3,294,692; and 3,398,2190 The present invention distinguishes over known prior art in that incorporation of different soaps into a composite mass embodying the desired surface striping takes place in a region wherein the mass is undergoing uniform radial compres- :
sion, and this has been found to be advantageous in the production of soap bars of superior appearance and resistance to separation of the different soaps during useful life. The patent to Garvey 1 et al No. 2,296,842 discloses the extrusion of indicia forming soap streams within a main body of soap being forced through a I plodder cone, but this does not produce striped soapO
., 20 The invention further includes the advantage that ~; the plastic soaps being incorporated into the composite mass ~ being radially compressed are of substantially the same beta ` phase contentO
Other advantages of the invention are concerned with novel structure for carrying out the foregoing, particularly a novel manifold arrangement mounted on the plodder cone and hav-i ing internal pro~ections extending into the cone for discharging a second soap or soaps into a first soap column being forced , :~ :

According to one aspect; the invention is a method for the contin-uous production of striped soap which comprises the steps of providing an axially moving solid column of a first soap, imbedding a plurality of circum-ferentially spaced longitudinally extending solid streams of a different soap or soaps within and along the surface of said column to provide a moving composite soap mass, subjecting said soap mass to substantially uniform radial compression and subsequently extruding said composite soap mass in substantiallyuniform cross section.
The method can be carried out in an apparatus for the continuous production of striped soap comprising means for providing an axially moving column of a first soap, means for providing and imbedding a plurality of ; circumferentially spaced longitudinally extending streams of a different soap - or soaps within and along the surface of said column to provide a moving com-posite soap mass, means subjecting said moving soap mass to substantially uni-form radial compression and means subsequently extruding said mass in substan-tially uniform cross section.

Figure 1 shows mainly diagrammatically a conventional type soap plodder 11 wherein milled soap is compressed and compacted by a rotating worm 12 and forced through a terminal converging cone 13 from which it is discharged - -through extrusion nozzle 14 as a continuous bar. The extrusion nozzle imparts the -2a-..
desired shape and cross section to the extruding bar, usually rectangular or circular. Except as will appear this plodder construction may be for example similar to that disclosed in Compa et al. Patent NoO 3,485,905.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cone 13 inter-mediate its ends is surrounded by a hollow annular manifold member 15 that is fixed to the cone. Member 15 is formed with a circumferentially spaced plurality of radially inwardly extending closed rear and side projections 16 that extend fluid tight through apertures 17 in the wall of cone 13 and are formed with front discharge openings 18 that open toward extrusion nozzle 14. As shown in Figure 3 the radially outer edges of ~ -openings 18 are preferably flush with the smooth inner surface 24 of the coneO Member 15 may be made in two semi-circular parts secured together along a diametral plane.
A second source of soap is indicated at 21 in Figure 1. This may comprise another plodder assembly or any device w~erein soap is worked under controlled pressure and moisture content conditions and discharged as a continuous column through a conduit 22 which ~Figure 2) is connected to discharge into the annular space 23 within manifold 15.
In operation a continuous solid column of the first or main soap in plastic condition is forced by the worm 12 through cone 13. This column flows around the closed rear and side walls of projections 16, thereby effectively forming out- -wardly open relatively deep longitudinal furrows open outwardly at the periphery of the first soap column. At the same time a plurality of streams of the second soap in plastic condition -

being incorporated with the first soap column, the entire composite mass is slidably supported by the smooth conical inner surface 24 of cone 13 and is uniformly radially compressed up to the point it is extruded at 14.

Since the radially outer surface of each second soap stream is in sliding contact with cone surface 24 the reducing cone diameter results in the second soap streams being positively forced radial].y deeper into their respective furrows. At the same time the second soap streams are being laterally compressed within the furrow sides or for a time within converging lateral extensions of the manifold openings as will appear in Figures 8 ` and 9O As a result extremely good surface engagement is ensured between the main soap column and the sides and inner ends of ' each second soap stream while the outer surface of each second --~ soap stream remains in contact with the smooth cone surface at the same level as the adjacent first soap column peripheryO - .

It has therefore been found that by locating the region of incorporation of the stripe forming streams into the main soap column so that both during incorporation and for an appreciable period thereafter the composite mass is subjected to uniform radial compression a better surface bond is attained between the first soap column and the stripe forming streams of the second soapO
The compression brings the stream and furrow sur-faces into full surface contact so that there are no voids, and the contacting surfaces are better adhesively bondedO
Preferably the streams of second soap entering the furrows of the first soap move at about the same linear velocity as the first soap column, and the two soaps have about the same plasticity.
It has been found particularly advantageous if the first and second soaps have the same beta phase content, as this combination results in better surface bonding of the stripes with the central soap column.
The radial depth of the longitudinal stripes and their spacing width and shape may be determined by the n~mber, shape and size of projections 16 and openings 180 It has been noted that where space 23 is of uniform size all around the cone and there is only one second soap inlet as shown in Figure 1, there may be sufficient drop in pressure in the second soap that the second soap streams exiting from the openings 18 that are moEe remote from the connection from the space 23 to conduit 2~ may not contain

the same amount of soap as those closer to conduit 22, thus resulting in some non-uniformity in the striping appearanceO -This may be advantageous for certain purposes, but for better uniformity asecond conduit from source 21 may be connected to :
space 23, for example about 180 from the point shown in Figure 1, with the result that there will be a more equal pressure distribution along the second soap in space 23.
Figures 7 and 8 illustrate another mode of combining the soaps at the manifold. Here the manifold 31 is integrally lo formed upon an intermediate part of cone 13 and, as shown in Figure 7 has a tubular second soap intake conduit 32 connected : ~-to one side thereof while the opposite closed side 33 is eccen-tric to the cone axis and defines an enlarged manifold space 34 at 180~ from the intake. At its juncture with the manifold wall conduit 32 is faired to provide smooth transition surfaces 35 and, between the transition surfaces and at the inner end of conduit 32 is centrally disposed a soap divider plate 36 of tear-drop or like streamline contour to oppositely divert opposite sides of the soap colum of conduit 32 to flow around opposite 2a sides of the manifold toward space 34. As in the other embodi-ments conduit 32 is connected to provide a continuous supply of the second, usually colored, soapO
Manifold 31 is formed similarly to the earlier embodiment, with circumferentially spaced hollow projections 36 radially outwardly open to the interior of the manifold as indicated at 37 in Figure 7 and projecting as noz~les into the cone in the path of the column of the first soap where they are open downstream as indicated at 38 to discharge into the first soap which is passing centrally of the cone .~, .

and between the nozzles. The combination of the divider plate and the eccentric space 34 aids in providing substantially equal supply of second soap to all nozzles.
Also as shown in Fig. 8 wherein flow of the first soap is indicated in solid line arrows and the second soap flow in dotted line arrows there is preferably provided at the end of cone 13 prior to extrusion an annular internal surface 39 that is concave in the upstream direction and effects a smooth progressive change in the reduction of the composite soap column prior to extrusion. Preferably surface 39 is surrounded by water jackets 41 for cooling the extruding soap surfaces.
Also shown in Fig. 8 the side walls of each of the pro~ections 36 are longitudinally extended interiorl~ of the cone to form lateral guides and retainers 42 and 43 for the soap streams issuing from openings 38. These guides are disposed on opposit~ sides of the furrows in the main soap column and may extend almost to surface 39 if desired. Thus each second soap stream emerging from the manifold is for a ~0 time positively contained and guided by the lateral extensions 42 and 43 while being free at their upper and lower sur~aces to engage the cone wall and the bottom of a furrow in the main soap column respectively.
Following extrusion the soap column 40 issuing from nozzle ma~ be cut into bar sizes and compressed in the direction of the grain of extrusion to flnal condition.
The manifold through which the second soap streams ` are lntroduced into the main æoap at the cone may be a separate surrounding member as illustra~ed in Figs. 1-3, it may be formed _7_ ,' , .
integral with the cone wall as illustrated in Figure 8, or it may be an intermediate separate part secured between the end of the plodder barrel and the cone as illustrated in Figure 9.
Referring to Figure 9 the manifold 15 which is preferably internally similar in structure to the manifold 15 shown in Figures 2 and 3, is an annular hollow member having opposite side walls removably attached by suitable fastening devices to flanges 44 ~ -and 45 on the plodder barrel and cone 13 respectively. The mode of operation in the apparatus of Figure lA is essentially the same as described for Figures 1-8.
In this embodiment the converging side wall extensions of the projections 16, indicated at 46 and 47 are relatively long, extending substantially the interior length of the cone but terminating sufficiently short of surface 39 to permit the sides of the second soap streams to be compressed tightly in full surface engagement within the main soap column furrows.
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without depart mg from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

Referring to Figure 9 the manifold 15 which is preferably internally similar in structure to the manifold 15 shown in Figures 2 and 3, is an annular hollow member having opposite side walls removably attached by suitable fastening devices to flanges 44 ~ -and 45 on the plodder barrel and cone 13 respectively. The mode of operation in the apparatus of Figure lA is essentially the same as described for Figures 1-8.
In this embodiment the converging side wall extensions of the projections 16, indicated at 46 and 47 are relatively long, extending substantially the interior length of the cone but terminating sufficiently short of surface 39 to permit the sides of the second soap streams to be compressed tightly in full surface engagement within the main soap column furrows.
