GOI'BINID RAG AND SDAP HOLDER application ma omheias. im. lei-u1 n. mms.
My present invention relates to an im, proved t'oilet article com rising a combined wash-rag and soa hol er made from an ordinary rectangu ar wash-rag and stitched l or otherwise shaped in such a way as to suitable for use as a soap holder, and also to serve as an attractive novelty, especially asa toy for children, and yet which may be `reconverted into a fiat wash-rag when m desired.
M invention will be more fully understood after reference to the accompanying drawings in which: l
Figure 1 'shows a lan view of an ordi l nary rectangular was -rag with, the picture of an animal such as a cat applied to the up r central portion of the same.
Figure 2 shows the wash-rag of Figure 1 folded along the line 2 2, and stitched au before a central pocket in which the soap 1s to be placed.
Figure 3 shows the folded and stitched wash-ra of Figure 2 with the pocltet turned. inside out, and with the soap 1n- Figure 4 shows the finished article with rings or bands attached to form ears for the animal, and,
Figure 5 shows rings or bands adapted to serve the double purpose of shaping the ears of, the animal and of constricting the opening in the soap pocket to prevent the soap from accidently falling out of same.
In constructing the device, I take an ordinary rectangular wash-rag A made o f Turkish toweling or other suitable material, and I apply thereto, preferably to the upper central portion thereof the representation of a cat, or any arbitrary or fanciful device.
This may be done by stamping on with indelible ink, or by sketchin it on with suitable ink or pi ent, eit er black or colored, as preferre The device may also be embroidered in black or colors if preferred, as it is immaterial, so far as the construction is concerned, in what manner the design be aplied to the fabric. After the fabric has geen rovided with the design referred to,
it is olded along the longitudinal center as at 2 2 in Figure 1, and a pocket is formed as by stitching at 3 3 shown in Figure 2. This stitching is preferably made with one of the sewin machines, which ermit the entire line o stitching to b e pu led out or unraveled at a singleoperatio l After the stitching 3 3 has been completed, the pocket of the wash-rag is turned inside out, so that the design which was shown as hidden in Figure 2 once more bebel comes visible as in Figure 3, and the upper corners 4 4 of the wash-rag are ready to be manipulated to form the ears 5 5 of Figure 4. It may be done by slipping over each upper corner of the wash-rag a ring B shown in Figure 5, which ma be made of bone, gutta-percha, eelluloi porcelain, glass, casein, or other suitable material.
I prefer to use a rigid ring, since this ma' be conveniently slipped on or off, but wi be held in lace b frictional engagement with the abric, ut obviously small bands of rubber may be used instead of rings, or the ears may be tied around with strings. Before the ears are formed, and the parts are in the position shown in Figure 3, a cake of soap C shown 'in dotted lines is inserted in the pocket and the operation of forming the ears automatically constricts the opening in the pocket, and will prevent the cake of soap from falling out.
Obviously the soap will be normally held in frictional engagement with the pocket, and will be held in place as the cake of soap `Wears down in use.
The finished article, as shown in Figure 4, presents an attractive appearance and has been found in practice to be especially amusing to children for whose use the Wash-rag is primarily intended.
After the Wash-rag has become soiled from use or Whenever it is desired to restore it to normal condition, the rings B ma be taken od the seam 3 3 and ripped, an the Wash-rag is restored t0 the initial condition of a fiat rectangular wash-rag shown in Figure l.
Thus it will be seen that I provide a convenient wash-rag adapted to attract the eye, and at the saine time to be useful to the bather, especially a child, and yet which can' Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is l. As an article of manufacture, a toy comprising a combined wash-rag and soap holder, having a body portion formed oi a rectangular strip of fabric provided with the simulation of the face of an animal applied thereto near the upper central portion thereof, said strip being folded along its longitudinal center and the two flaps stitched together between the ends to form a pocket said pocket being formed on the inside of the folded cloth, this pocket being then turned inside out to reverse the flaps and to expose said design, the two upper corners being gathered in to simulate the ears of the animal, and simultaneously to constrict the open end of said pocket.
2. As an article of manufacture, a toy comprising a combined wash-rag and soap holder, having a body portion formed of a rectangular strip of fabric provided with the simulation of the face of an animal applied thereto near the upper central portion thereof, said strip being folded along its longitudinal center and the two flaps stitched together between the ends to form a pocket, said pocket being formf 'l on the inside of the folded cloth, this pocket being then turned inside out to reverse the flaps and to expose said design, with rings forced over the two upper corners, whereby said corners are gathered in to simulate the ears of the animal, and simultaneously to constrict the open end of said pocket.
