  • An upwardly opening check valve 26y is disposed within this tube and acts in conjunction with the usual inlet valve of the bulb 19, and it will be observed that none of the soapy liquid from the container 12 canreach the valve 26, due to the fact that the openings 25 are disposed above the liquid level 14. Thus,there -is no danger of any soap collecting uponrthe valve and its seat and causing the former to lodge against the latter.
  • a vertical sleeve 27, surrounds the tube 21, a spaced relation therewith, and is provided at its lower end with an outstanding flange 28 of conical formation.
  • This flange is spaced above theconical formation 22 or 22a and its peripheral edge terminates in spaced relation with the container wall to permit the discharge of gas into the liquid, said gas being received bythe sleeve 27 from the openings 25 and conducted downwardly by this sleeve into the space 30 between the two conical formations ⁇ 28-22 or 28-221, as the case maybe.
  • 'One 1 of the conical formations (28 or 22--22a) is provided with means for whirling thegas'passing through the space 30 and directing such gas circumferentially of the container wall as it discharges, so as to produce effectivewhirling and agitation of the liquid in the container ,12.

  • the soap cake 36 is of such thickness that its upper portion is disposed above the liquid level 14 and its lower portion below said liquid level, until the ,cake has washed away to quite an extent, but as the lower side'of said cake is worn away Vby contact with the agitated liquid, the Ycake gradually lowers byV gravity, so that it is at all times supported by the flangeV 28.

  • This unit is preferably supported directly upon thev soap-calre-positioning-post and is provided with a bos.c 40 resting on the screw head thereof. ,-H'ence, the soap-cake-positioning-post serves to effectively support the unit 41, without any necessity of providing the latter with an outstanding rib or the like to engage the upper edge of the container wall.
  • unit 41 may be supported by ribs, such as 40a' of Fig. 12, instead of being supported by the soap-calre-positioning-post, saidribs being formed on the container wall.
  • the unit 41 is analogous to 'the bubbleconverting unit shown in Fig. 2 of U. S. Fatent 1,554,148, but certain distinct improvements have been made.
  • This unit embodies a central plate 42 provided on cach of its upper and lower sides, with a continuous annular flange 43, the peripheral surfaces of said flanges and plate being preferably flush so to produce a strictly cylindrical formation for the unit 41.

  • the gasis discharged at the Lperiphery of the flange 28 andit is so directed that it tends to ⁇ whirl the liquid around ther soap sho cake 36, and such liquid is effectively agitated in the space 39 to receive the necessary quantity of soap from the lower surface of the soap cake.
  • rPhe soap bubbles generated by this agitation of the liquid in the presence of the soap cake, accumulatf ⁇ in the upper portion of said container, above the liquid level, and are forced by the accumulating ⁇ Vgas pressure through the bubble-converting unit all, said bubbles traveling repeatedly through the screening means, so that by the time they leave the4 outlet openings 52 of said unit, they have reached a thick creamy consistency suitable for shaving p urp es.
