appntanbn fiiea septeinter 2,1924: serial no; 73514491 My invention aims to provide asimple and inexpensive, yet a practical and desirabl'e de vice which is designed primarily for holding a ca lre of soap, enablingthe user to conveniently apply such-soap to his back their bathing, although it will be understood that the device may also be used for other. purposes,- for instance, for holding wash cloths, mop cloths, scrubbingbrushes,
brushes of other sorts, etc.
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is a plan view of a soap holder constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Figures 3 and 4 are transverse sectional views as indicated by lines 33 and 4lof Fig. 1
Figure 5 is a side elevation showing a slightly different form of construction.
In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2,
3 and 4, the numeral 1 designates an elongated handle which is preferably curved in a convenientmanner. Carried by the front end of this handle and disposed at any desired angle with respect thereto, is an articleholding frame 2. At least this frame, but preferably the frame and the handle also, may be made from a single strip of spring metal. In the construction shown, this metal strip is bent to provide two parallel handleforming reaches 3, and at the front end of the handle, is further bent to provide front and rear parallel bars 4 and 5 which are adapted to grip a cake of soap 6 or any other article to be held and manipulated by the device, the strip being additionally bent to provide a pair of enlarged spring loop portions 7 which connect the ends .of the bars 4 and 5 and are disposed in a common plane with said bars; These spring loops exert a constant force to move the bars 4: and 5 to- Ward each other, so as to effectively clamp any article which may be placed between them, and as indicated in Fig. 1, the ends of this article may extend into the spring loop ortions. Preferably, the bars 4 and 5 have inwardly stamped projections 8 to engage the article and prevent slippage thereof-1 Forthe purpose of stiffening the handleforniing reaches 3 and providingfarounded handleformation, these reach 'es may well be" transversely ctirved away from each other shown in Fi g, 4., through out the greater part of their lengths. in the construction sho ivii;
this transverse curvature ceases at a point spacedfroi'n the frame 2, and bctweensuch curvature and frame, theterminals 9 and 10 of the spring metal strip are secured together in any suitable manner, for instance,
by spot welding or by rivets 11.
While the construction above described may well be followed, it is to be understood that modifications may be made and that the handle 1 need not extend from the frame 19 2 at the exact point or angle illustrated, it being well within the scope of the invention to locate this handle in the most convenient location, according to the uses to which the device is to be put. It may also be stated at this point, that the handle may be pivot ally and adjustably connected to the articleholding frame. This has been illustrated in Fig. 5, in which a frame 2 has been shown, which may be considered as constructed in the same manner as the frame 2, except that the terminals 9 of the spring metal strip do not assist in forming the handle 1 but merely project from the frame a sufficient distance to provide ears to which said han- 85 dle may be connected by a clamping bolt 11 which is preferably provided with a Wing nut 12*. By loosening the nut, the handle may be swung to any desired position with respect to the frame 2 and it may be held in such position by again tightening the nut. As in the form of the invention previously described, it will be understood that the handle may extend from the frame at any de-. sired angle and point.
The device may be effectively used for holding a cake of soap to soap ones back when bathing, may then be used to hold a bath brush or a wash cloth to complete the washing operation, and it will also be clear that the invention may be constructed in a manner to adapt it for holding numerous other articles, such as mop cloths, wall or floor brushes, etc.
As excellent results may be obtained from the general construction shown, it is preferably followed, but within the scope of the invention as claimed, modifications may be made.
I claim:
1. A soap holder comprising a handle and an article-holding frame carried thereby, said frame consisting of a pair of parallel article clamping bars, and enlarged spring loop portions connecting the ends of said bars in a common plane therewith for moving them toward each other, said spring loop portions being capable of receiving the ends of an article held between said bars.
2. A soap holder comprising a handle, and an article-holding frame carried thereby, said frame being formedof a single spring metal strip bent to provide a pair of parallel articleeclamping bars and enlarged spring 100p portions connecting the ends of said bars for moving them toward each other.
3. A soap holder comprising a single strip of spring metal having parallel reaches forming a handle, the strip being bent at the front end of said handle to provide parallel article-clamping bars, and enlarged spring 525 loop portions connecting the ends of said bars for moving them toward each other.
4. A soap holder comprising a single strip of .spring metal having parallel reaches forming a handle, the strip being bent at the front end of said handle to provide parallel article-clamping bars and enlarged spring loop portions connecting the ends of said bars and disposed in a common plane with the latter for drawing said bars toward each other. i
5. A structure as specified in claim 3; said parallel reaches of the strip being transversely curved away from each other to stiffen them and to provide a rounded handle. I y a In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature. 7
