SOAP-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 20, 1920.
Application filed March 1, 1919. Serial No. 280,031.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK LEACH, a British subject, residing at Detroit, county of lVayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful; Improvement in Soap-Holders, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to soap holders, shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following specification and claim The object of this invention is to provide a device which may be permanently attached to the faucet or other fixture of a lavatory or bath tub, and which is adapted for ad: justment that it may receive and securely hold cakes of soap of varying size.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed without departing from the spirit of the same.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective View of the device, attached to a faucet,supporting a cake of soap.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view on line 33 of Fig. 2.
Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings A, denotes a faucet. B, indicates a slotted bar having an upstanding arm B at one end preferably serrated or fluted on its inner face.
C, indicates an adjustable clamping member at the opposite end of the slotted bar formed by reducing the end of said bar and providing a freely movable clamping member adjustable toward and from the reduced end for securing the device to a faucet or other suitable fixture.
D, designates a slidable arm, also serrated or fluted on its inner face with a tongue ex tending into the slot of the bar.
E, is a set screw located below the bar B, and engaging the slidable arm D, through the slotted opening in said bar to secure the arm against displacement when properly adusted to receive and hold a cake of soap F,secured between it and the opposing upstanding arm at the end of the bar.
When using the soap it is not necessary to remove it from the holder to obtain a suitable lather, as the hands or a wash cloth may be first moistened and then rubbed upon the soap which is firmly held in the holder against dislodgment.
The cake of soap need not be removed or replaced until consumed, when a cake of similar size may be forced between the serrated 01' fluted arms without changing the adjustment of the slidable arm. The toothed or serrated portion of the arms serves to cut the edges of the soap that it may readily enter between the upstanding arms and when in position the serrated faces of said arms assist in securing the soap against lateral displacement.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is In a device of the class described, a relatively long, narrow, bar having a fixed laterally directed arm at one end, said bar having a longitudinal slot therein, a movable arm parallelizing the aforesaid arm and having working fit in said slot of the bar, the inner end of the second-mentioned arm having a screw-threaded socket therein, a thumb screw projecting through said slot and working in said socket to clamp said movable arm at'various adjusted positions on the bar, theopposed faces of said arms being serrated throughout their entire lengths so as to provide relatively long, narrow spaced teeth to bite into the soap and thereby hold the soap against twisting or displacement laterally of said bar and to maintain the soap clamped between the arms in contact with said serrations until the soap is used down to the plane of the bar, and an attaching means carried by the bar.
In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
FRANK LEACH.
Witnesses J. E. THOMAS, MARIE Pnrnnsnn.
