Application led September Toa-ZZ whom t may concer/1t:
Be it known that I, HAMMoND B. DOUG- Las, a citizen ot the United States, residing at lilll'orcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Soap Shaker, of which the following is a specication.
This invention relates to a soap holder of the type involving a hinged pair of inembers together constitutinga.V holder and cover formed of wire mesh or the like and having a handle so that thc soap in the holder can be agitated in water to dissolve part of the scap therein without the necessity of handling the soap directly.
This invention relates to animprovement in said type of soap holder whereby the pieces of wire which are employedfor hinging the cover to the body ot' the soap holder will be used tostrengthen the same and to provide a simple spring catch for holdingthe cover to the body or` handle of the holder; and to provide this in` such form that it can be made in a very simple and convenient manner, reduce the expense, and
improve the durability and appearance of the article.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a plan of the soap holder shown closed and held in closed position;
Fig. 2 is an end view of the cover showing the fastening device;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the same;
Fig. i is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the soap holder open; and
F ig. 5 is an enlarged sectional detail.
This invention relates to a well known article of manufacture constituting a holder for soap tor use in washing dishes and similar operations. ris an article oi manufacture7 this soap holder consists ot a bottom 10 and cover 1l usually made of woven wire fabric and hinged together at one side. tt the other side it is provided with a handle 12. It is customary to form the edges cit these two parts or' the soap holder ot piece of wire of larger size than the wire o1 which the fabric is made. These two pieces oi wire 13 are shaped up in rectangular form as a general thing and the handle 12 is formed from two projections from the ends Vof one of these wires.. The strands are twisted together to form the shank of this handle. In a general way I have made use.
18, 1922. Serial No. 589,036.
of the parts so far described in theirusual form but I have formed the handle with one entra strand of wire in the twisted part to give it a large size and increased strength.
F or pivoting the two parts 10 and 11 together I provide a.V single. piece of wire doubled 0n itself and providing a loop 15 at one end at right angles to a pair oi arms 16. The two arms of this-shank are brought close enough to each other so that the space between them is considerably less than the diameter of the twisted part of the handle 12.V They diverge from each other to form arms 17. At the ends of these arms two substantially parallel rods 18 are provided extending across the top of the cover and preferably soldered to it at severa-l points. The arms 17 also extend down the sloping wall of the cover and are soldered to it at any convenient point it desired. These bars 18 are then bent down on opposite sides to forni two arms 19 extending down the opposite-side of the cover and are bent at 2O to torni two hinge loops extending around the two wires 13 of the top and bottom` of the holder.
It will be seen that this wire piece extending over the top of the holder' constitutes the hinges i'or hinging it to the bottom and provides strengthening ars across it for increasing its length of life. This is an important feature because in practice the part that is hinged and swings away is the part that receives the most wear and is likely to give out quickest. This wire also provides a catch in the form of the arms 16 and loop 15 which engages over the enlarged part 12 of the` handle and has suiiicient resiliency to permit of its being slipped over the same and then spring back under it to catch the cover to the handle so that it will not become dislodged accidentally. The end of the loop 15 is used in forcing the parts into this position and can be used for dislodging them when required. This constitutes a very simple and convenient catch, strengthening. and pivotal connection. It also. for the saine reason7 reduces the number of operations necessary to make all the parts and reduces the liability oi' the fastening parts becoming loosened er detached, thus destroying the utility of the device.
In Fig. 5 I have shown more in detail another feature of the invention. The wires of which the fabric is formed extend out around the frame wire 13, over them, and then down' along their .inner surfaces and back into contact with them below the wires 13 and inside the bottom and cover. ln that way they do not have to be finished, but still the ends of the wire are so located that they do not project.
Although l have illustrated and described only a single form of the invention, l am aware of the fact that modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scopeV of the invention as expressed in the claims. Therefore l do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction herein shown and described, but Vwhat l do claim is l. As an article of manufacture, a soap holder comprising two parts constituting a bottom and cover, saidbottom having a handle and the cover having a pair .of wire hinges for connecting it with the bottom,
said hinges extending across the cover and having a pair ofV arms at one side spaced apart a distance less than the diameter of the ravages less than the diameter ofthe shank of the handle and yieldingly connected together, whereby the said arms are adapted. to cooperate with the shank of the handle to hold the cover in place. Y f
3. its an article of manufacture, a soap holder vcomprising bottoni and cover, one having a handle projecting fromY the Vside thereof, a wire bent on itself at one end to provide a loopwhich is bent at right angles to the front of'said loop to furnish Vtwo arms held spaced apart yieldingly by said loop and having two arms extending from the other end thereof and diverging from each other and having two 'bars Vparallel with each other, the ends of said bars being bent down'near their ends in the'form of ,loopsv to constitute hinges to'connect said'bottoni and cover, the diverging arms, barsand ends Y being 1n contact withoneof said parts of the holder and being secured thereto.
Ll. As anV article of manufacture., a soap holder comprising two parts constituting a bottom and cover hinged together at one side, said bottom having a handle and the cover having a pair of wires secured to the top thereof and having a pair of arms extending down the side thereof toward each other and then extending outwardly and spaced aparta distance less than the diameter of the shank of the handle toV form a U-shaped clasp and co-operate with theihandle to hold the cover in place on the bottom'.
ln testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
