SANITARY SOAP-HOLDER.
Application filed December 19, 1916.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN G. BAnER, a citizen of the United States reslding at East- Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in sanitary Soap-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to sanitary soap holders and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
An object of the invention is to provide a soap holder of the character indlcated adapted to be used adjacent a wash basin or a bath tub for the purpose of holding a cake of soap whereby the liquid or water may drain away from the same and whereby the cake of soap is protected against the accumulation of dust or other foreign substances.
lVith this object in View the holder comprises a bracket having a tray attached to the same the said tray being provided at its bottom with perforations. A spring pressed cover is hingedly connected with the tray and catches are provided for holding the cover in aclosed position upon the tray. The cover is imperforate and a buffer is mounted at the upper side of the cover and is adapted to cooperate with a buffer mounted upon the bracket whereby the cover may swing to an open position under the infiuence of the spring when the cover is re leased and without noise due to the force of impact when the said buffers come together.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 a front elevation of the soap holder showing the cover in closed position;
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the cover in an open position;
Fig. is a top plan view of the soap holder;
Fig. 4; is atop plan view of the bracket and tray with the cover removed;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view of the same.
The soap holder comprises a bracket 1 which is formed from sheet metal and which may be secured to a wall or any other suitable support by means of securing devices of any pattern. The bracket 1 is provided at its lower portion with a forwardly disposed ledge 2 and a tray 3 is provided at the forward edge of the ledge 2. The tray 3,

material. The tray 3 is provided at its bottom with a number of perforations a. A
cover 5 is hingedly connected with the for- I ward edge of the ledge 2 and at the rear edge of the tray 3 and the said cover 5 is imperforate. The tray 3 is provided at its forward edge with a catch 6 which is adapted to cooperate with a catch 7 provided at the free edge of the cover 5 whereby the said cover is held in a closed position. A spring 8 passes around the hinged pin of the cover 5 and bears at one end against the said cover and at its other end against the inner surface of the tray 3. The spring 8 is under tension with a tendency to swing the cover to an open position when the catch 7 is disengaged from the catch 6. The cover 5 carries at its upper side a bufler 9 of rubber or any other suitable material adapted to move into contact with a similar buffer 10 mounted upon the bracket 1 when the cover 5 is swung to an open position.
In operation the tray 3 is adapted to receive a cake of soap and the water or moisture from the soap may drain from the same through the opening or perforations 4 provided in the bottom of the said tray. lVhen the cover 5 is swung down to a closed posi tion over the tray 3 and the catch 7 is engaged with the catch 6 the said cover 5 is held in a closed position over the soap where by the soap is protected against the accumulation of dust or any other foreign substances. hen it is desired to have access to the soap, a gentle pressure is exerted against the forward side of the tray 3 whereby the catch is moved out of engagement with the catch 7 and the tension of the spring 8 comes into play whereby the cover 5 is swung from a closed position to an open position and the buffers 9 and 10 are moved into engagement with each other. By reason of the fact that the said buffers are composed of relatively soft material they deaden the noise and break the force of impact between the cover 5 and the bracket 1 when the cover assumes an open position.
From the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that a soap holder of simple and durable structure is provided and the same will effectually retain a cake of soap and protects the same against the aconniulation of dust or other foreign substance.
Having described the invention What is claimed is V A soap holder comprising a bracket provided at its lower edge With a forwardly disposed ledge, a tray provided at the forward edge of the ledge and having its bottom provided with perforations, a, cover 0 hingedly connected with the ledge at the for- Ward edge thereof and at the rear edge of the tray, said cover being imperiorate, and catch devices mounted one upon the tray and the other upon the cover and adapted to engage each other, there being a spring pro.- vided between the cover and the tray, said spring bearing at one end against the cover and at its other end against the tray.
In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature.
JOHN GEORGE BAKER.
