Abstract

FIELD: personal and household items.

SUBSTANCE: claimed soap box comprises a body consisting of two hollow thin-walled profiled halves interacting with each other by peripheral parts to form a cavity for soap placement. Each half is made of two elements, a peripheral one and a central one, interacting with each other. Central element is made in the form of a diamond with round tops and has an outer and an inner end. On one of the halves, preferably on both, the central element is radially movable to the center of the body by an amount equal to the wear of the soap when it is used. Distance at the initial moment of time between the inner ends of the central elements is equal to the thickness of the unused piece of soap, the distance at the final moment of time equals to the thickness of the used piece of soap. When the soap wears to a predetermined value, the outer end of the movable central member cooperates with the outer surface of the corresponding half of the body. Central elements are designed to interact with each other by their peripheral parts.

EFFECT: ease of use soap.

Description

The invention relates to sanitary-hygienic equipment, in particular to the design of soap dishes, and can be used for industrial production of soap dishes.

Known soap dish containing a soap holder with holes for draining water at its base and ring grips for mounting on a tubular element (see USSR patent No. 1831317, class A47K 5/00, publ. 30.07.93 in bull. No. 28) .

Its disadvantage is the limited ability to use a soap dish, since it is installed only on a tubular element of a certain shape and size.

Known portable container holder for travel with plastic soap dishes containing a housing consisting of two hollow profiled halves in the form of two thin-walled shells interacting with each other in the peripheral parts with the formation of a cavity for placing soap (http://en.aliexpress.com/item/New- Portable-Travel-Plastic-Soap-Dish-Box-Holder-Container-Wash-Shower-Home-Bathroom-3-Colors / 32618402383.html? Spm = 2114.41010208.4.127.Y1n7al - prototype).

The disadvantages of these soap holders is that the soap dish is initially produced for the largest possible piece of soap, which retains its shape and size over a short period of time. As a rule, in everyday life and long trips, pieces of soap are used, which are used by about 25-75%. All this leads to the fact that the volume of the soap box, calculated on the largest possible size and weight of the soap bar and not taking into account its everyday wear, is not used optimally, which leads to an unjustified increase in the volume occupied by the soap box, especially in wearable items, in particular for short-term ones business trips, tourist trips, trips to the country, etc. The use of several soap dishes of different sizes, like nesting dolls, to track the wear of soap, leads to even more cluttering the volume and the inability to use soap dishes of a smaller size on long trips.

The objective of the invention is to remedy these shortcomings and create a combined soap dish, allowing to provide from the same housing elements of the original base soap dish, soap dish of different volumes - for a piece of soap in the initial period of its use, and until about the middle of its wear, and for a piece of soap from the middle its depreciation until its final use, which will significantly reduce the useful volume occupied by the soap box in things, especially during short-term two or three day trips.

The solution to this problem is achieved by the fact that in the proposed soap dish containing a housing consisting of two hollow thin-walled profiled halves interacting with each other with peripheral parts to form a cavity for placing soap, according to the invention, each half is made up of two elements, peripheral and central, interacting between by itself, and the central element is made in the form of a rhombus with rounded peaks and has outer and inner ends, while on one of the halves, it is preferable on both of them, the central element is made with the possibility of radial movement to the center of the body by an amount equal to the wear of the soap when using it, while the distance at the initial time between the inner ends of the central elements is equal to the thickness of the unused bar of soap, in the final - the thickness of the used bar of soap moreover, when soap is worn to a predetermined value, the outer end of the movable central element interacts with the outer surface of the corresponding half of the body, while the central cops are made with the possibility of interaction between each other with their peripheral parts.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the proposed soap dish in its original position; in FIG. 2 - soap dish, top view; in FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of the proposed soap dish formed from the central elements of the halves.

The soap dish contains a housing consisting of two hollow profiled halves 1 and 2, made in the form of two thin-walled shells interacting with each other with peripheral parts to form a cavity for placing soap 3. Each half is made of two elements, a peripheral 4 and a central 5, interacting between by myself. The central element 5 is made in the form of a rhombus with rounded peaks. The central elements 5 are configured to interact with each other with their peripheral parts and with the possibility of radial movement to the center of the body by an amount equal to the wear of the soap when using it

The proposed soap dish is used as follows.

At the initial moment of time, a bar of soap 3, having maximum dimensions and mass, is installed inside the profiled halves 1 and 2. As the bar of soap wears out, its dimensions decrease and the central elements 5 move to the center of the body, showing soap wear, and when a certain wear limit is reached, the outer the end face of the movable central element 5 interacts with the outer surface corresponding to the half of the body, indicating that the soap has reached the specified size. The central elements 5 are removed from the peripheral 4 and with their help a new soap box of a smaller size is formed, corresponding to the size of the obtained bar of soap.

When acquiring a new bar of soap, the central elements 5 are inserted back into the peripheral 4, and the process repeats.

Using the proposed technical solution will significantly reduce the amount occupied by the soap box in things, especially with short-term two or three day trips.

Claims (1)
