JOHN J. MILLER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SOAP AND SUDS CONTAINER.
Application filed August 1, 1922.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN J. 'llLtILLER, a citizen of the United States residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soap and Suds Containers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in soap and suds containers, and one of its principal objects is the provision of a small, convenient apparatus which may easily be fastened to a water faucet, especially as applied to a kitchen sink, and which will sufficiently utilize small portions or scraps of soap which are ordinarily accumulated in households and usually allowed to go to waste.
One of the important objects of this invention is the provision of an apparatus for utilizing small scraps of soap wherein a solution of soap is automatically provided and is ready for use at all times in connection with a faucet for kitchen sinks or the like.
Another and further important object of this invention is the provision of a convenient receptacle which is adapted to be connected to a faucet or stop-cock for kitchen sinks and in which scraps of soap may be conveniently inserted as accumulated and wherein such scraps of soap are automatically converted into a soap solution which can he delivered directly to the faucet as desired, so that a suds of suiiicient strength for any particular purpose is obtained by simply starting the water.
Still another object of this invention is the provision of a receptacle for use in saving scraps of soap which shall be so constructed that the amount of both soap particles and soap solution is automatically indicated at all times.
Another object of this invention is the provision of an apparatus for utilizing scraps of soap wherein said scraps are maintained entirely independent of the clear water from a faucet and forming no imnediate contact therewith but are utilized with the same only as desired, and after the Serial No. 578,973.
Other and further in'iportant objects of the invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the accompanying drawings and following specification.
The invention, in a preferred form, is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation partly in section showing the improved device of this invention as applied to an ordinary faucet for kitchen sinks;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the container showing its interior construction;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same.
As shown in the drawings, the reference numeral 10 indicates the container of this device which may be of any desired form but may be constructed preferably as shown in the drawings so that the liquid material contained therein will be cilectively drained without regard to the quantity present. A cover or lid 12 is provided for the receptacle 10, said cover being provided with two openings therein, one in the center thereof and adapted to permit of the insertion into the container of a perforated cage or basket 14: into which scraps of soap 16, or the like are inserted.
Removably mounted upon the cage or basket 14 and over the central opening in the lid 12 is a cover member 18, or cap, as shown in the drawings, having a downwardly extending annular flange or skirt portion which extends in a suitable recess provided therefor in the top of the cage 11-. Slidably mounted in the cap 18 and at preferably the central portion thereof is an indicating stem 22 having a tag or the like 24 at the top thereof with the legend Soap in scribed thereon. The lower end of the stem 22 is provided with a downwardly extending concave plate 26 adapted to rest and bear upon the top of the soap particles in the basket or cage 14:, thereby indicating the amount of soap present in said basket. If desired, a weight 28 may be positioned upon the stem 22 so as to maintain the same at all times in close relation with the soap particles and thereby correctly indicate the amount of soap present, besides positively preventing any floating of the son scraps.
Through a second and smaller opening in the cap or top 12 extends a stem similar to the stem 22 as designated "by the reference numeral 30, and having a tag or label therelUU ill)
on with the inscription Water as shown at 32. The lower end of this stemhas attached thereto a hollow fioat or the like at adapted to rest upon the surface of the water or soap solution in the container 10 thereby indicating the level of the liquid in the said container.
A pipe or tube .36 leads out from the bottom of the container 10 and is provided with a stop-cock or the like 38 at a point intermediate the ends thereof. The outer end of the pipe 36 is screw-threaded as shown at 40 and adapted to be connected to a nipple 4:2
wvhich itself is screW-threadedly mounted or otherwise attached to a faucet Ma,
The operation is as follows: Small scraps of soap which ordinarily accumulate in a kitchen, or full bars may be put into. the basket or cage 1a which is mounted in the receptacle 10 in an obvious manner. The stop-cock 38 being closed, water is added to the container 10 by pouring over the soap 16, as needed or desired. soap solution is always available for instant use when wanted, and may be delivered to the nipple 4-2 on the end of the faucet 44: by merely opening the stop-cock 38. The soap solution in the container 10 will flow naturally by gravity through the pipe 36 into the nipple 42, but the flow of the soap solution will be materially aided on account of the rush of water from the faucet 44:, which In this way a tends to create a vacuum or aspirating action in the nipple 42 whereby the quantity of soap solution drawn from the container 10 will be sufiicient for all ordinary purposes in order to make a good suds, as desired.
The indicating means will at all times, operate to show to the user the amount of both soap and soap solution present in the container 10 and water may be added as desired or needed.
I am aware that many changes maybe made and numerous details of construction varied throughout a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore, do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than as necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention: 7
A soap attachment for faucets comprising a liquid container, a tubular member extending from the bottom of the container provided with a control valve and terminating in connection with the leg of a T connection adapted to be secured to the faucet outlet by one end of the head, and means within the container for holding soap in submerged relation to and in contact with the liquid.
In testimony whereof l afiix my signa ture.
' JOHN J. MILLER.
