To all whom it ma concern 7 Be it known that DANIEL L. CHANDLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fitchbur in the county of Worcester and State of assachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Soap Tablets, of which the following is a specification.

Thisinvention relates to an improved soap tablet and is particularly adapted to be used by workmen, automobihsts and others who are accustomed to use two kinds of soap in order to thoroughly cleansethelr hands.

v The object of the invention is to pr0v1de a small, neat tablet of two kinds of soap, one kind of soap being known as a paste soap which is partially inclosed within a covering open at its opposite ends and comprising a difierent kind of soap,'namely, an ordinary toilet soap.

Another object of this invention is to by machinery and fed easily and practically in a coin-slot machine.

The paste soap is comparatively strong and is also soft and plastic-as compared with the toilet soap.

- Preferably, although not necessarily, the soap is inclosed in a covering of some waterproof material, such as paraflin.

The invention consists in a soap tablet made of two difierent kinds of soap, theinner soap being a soft paste, the outer soap being comparatively hard and open atits opposite ends, in a water-proof covering. The invention further consists in a soap tablet as-hereinafter set forth in the specification and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a erspectlve view of my improved soap tab et.

Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2-2,

iike numerals refer to like parts in the two views of the drawings.

In the drawings, 5 is-a core of softor paste soap. 6 is a layer of comparatively hard toilet soap, and 7 is a water-proof covering for both kinds of soap. This covering consists covering 7 is slitted at 8 for a portion of its length, so that it may be easily oved when it is desired-to get at the soap inclosed therein.

tablet which can be madev the'whole' preferably inclosed preferably of parafin. The

In order that the soap tablet may be easily and practically manufactured by machinery, the toilet soap 6 incloses the paste soap 5 in the form of an endless band open at its opposlte ends, and this practical construction also makes the soap tablet easy to separate into its different parts to that the user can readily obtain access to the paste soap and can easily separate it from its covering of toilet soap.

The manner in which the article is used is as follows:

. The .user first-removes the parafiin waterproof covering 7 by lifting the same adjacent to the split portion 8 and then peeling the cover off of the soap. He then breaks the hard soap 6 apart and removes the paste soap 5 from the interior thereof. He then gives his hands a first washing with the paste soap, and after thoroughly washing them with the paste soap he washes them again with the toilet soap, and finally rinses them.

. I claim:

1. A cleansing tablet comprising a core of paste soap and a relatively thin frangible layer ofcomparatively hard soap consisting of an endless imperforate band entirely surrounding said core except at the opposite ends thereof.

2. A cleansing tablet comprising a core of paste soap and a relatively thin frangible layer of comparatively hard soap consisting of an endless imperforate band entirely surrounding said core except at the opposite ends thereof, and a waterproof covering DANIEL L. CHANDLER.
