v This invention relates to a soft soap dispenser and has for its primary object to separate from a mass of soft soap, a charge of soap and to extrude said charge of soap through a discharge 1 opening.
Another object is to feed the mass of soft soap under pressure toward the soap severing and extruding means. v
Still another object is to assure uniform separation of the charges'from the mass of soap. 2 The above and other objects may be attained by employing this invention which embodies among its features a container for a plastic mass 1 of soap, a bottom closing the lower end of said container, said bottom having an eccentric soap discharge opening therethrough, a, rotor mounted in the container near the bottom thereof for rotation in one direction about the vertical axis of the container, said rotor having an annular row of spaced openings extending therethrough each having .a leading edge and a trailing edge, an upwardly inclined soapsevering blade carried by the rotor at the trailing edge of each opening for severing soap from a mass of soap contained in the container and moving soap so severed toa ward the bottom of the container, a downwardly extending flange carried by the rotor at the lead- 1 ing edge of each opening and engaging the bottom of the container for directing severed soapltoward the soap discharge opening, and
means extending through the bottom of the container and connected to the rotor for positively moving said rotor in a direction to sever soap from the mass of soap and to extrude the severed soaplthrough the discharge opening.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side view partially in section of a ,soft soap dispenser embodying the features of this invention,
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the soap dispenser illustrated in Figure 1, certain portions being broken away more clearly to illustrate certain details of construction,

1 Claim. (1146- 61) secured to its underside a compression spring to which a follower is connected, so that'the follower will be yieldingly advanced toward the bottom [4 of the container III. The bottom of the container is provided with an axial opening 22, and formed in the container bottom adiacent its periphery is a soap discharge opening 24 through which soap is extruded during the dispensing operation. The container l0 may be provided with a, suitable wall bracket 26 by which it may be connected to a suitable vertical support. Extending axially through the opening 22 in the bottom 14 is an externally screw threaded bushing 23 onto the upper end of which is threaded a suitable nut 30, and interposed'between the lower end of the nut 30 and the bottom I4 is a suitable sealing gasket 32. A shaft 34 extends axially through the bushing 28 and carries adjacent its lower end a ratchet wheel 36. The upper end of the shaft is provided with a rectangularextension 38 which is'pierced to receive a cotter pin 40' by means of which the rotor to be more fully hereinafter described is removably held on the rectangular extension 38. Clamped to the underside of the bottom by 'the head of the bushing 28 is one leg'of a channel shaped frame member 42 through which the shaft 34 extends, and rockably supported on the" shaft 34 is a hand lever 44 to which is pivoted a 'pawl 46 which engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 as will be readily understood upon'reference to Figure 2. A-compression spring 48 yieldingly holds'the pawl in engagement with the ratchet wheel so that when the hand lever 44 is moved in one direction the pawl will be free to ratchet over the teeth of the wheel 36 in a conventional manner. Obviously when the lever 44 is moved in the opposite direction, the pawl will engage the teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 and cause the shaft 34 to be rotated. A suitable tongue 50 is carried by the Web portion of the channel member 42 and is bent inwardly so' as to extend into the path of movement'of the teeth of the wheel 36 and arrest movement of the wheelduring the period that therlever 44 is being moved in a direction to'cause the paw1 46 to ratchet over the teeth of the wheel36'. It will thus. be seen that the shaftv 34 will-be 'drivjenin but one direction with the oscillation of the hand lever 44.
A rotor designated generally 50 is-mounted on the squared portion 38 of the shaft 34 and comprises a disk 52 which is provided near and around its periphery with a plurality of radially offset slots 54, said slots being spaced equidistant from one another with their inner ends equidisrotor 50 of the dispenser.
in position on the container I it will be evident that the follower 20 will be yieldingly urged into contact with the topof the mass of soap 'S'so in the bottom M of the container l0.
tant from the center of the rotor, each having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The trailing edge of each opening 54 is provided with an upturned blade 56 which serves to sever soap from the underside of a mass of soap S contained within the container l0, and to extrude the severed soap downwardly toward the bottom [4 of the container. Depending from the disk 52 adjacent the leading edge of each opening 54 is a flange 58, the lower edge of each of which scrapes the bottom I4, and cooperates with the blade of the next adjacent opening 54 in extruding the soap severed from the mass S through the discharge opening 24. Formed axially in the disk 52 is a rectangular opening 69 which receives the rectangular extension 38 of the shaft 34 so that the disk '52 will be moved in unison with the motion of the shaft 34.
Formed in the disk 53 and entering through the periphery thereof is a radial elongated open- Ling 62 carrying adjacent its trailing edge an upturned blade 64 which'serves to sever soap from -'the body of soap S adjacent the-periphery thereof Land direct the severed soap into th'e' space between the rotor 50 and the bottom M of the container II].
An elongated slot 66 is formed in the disk-52 near the center thereof and carried by thedisk adjacent the leading edge of the slot 66 is a-downwardly extending flange 68 which cooperates with the bottom I4 of the container [0 in deflecting soap which may find its way toward the center of the disk outwardly, toward the periphery of thedisk, and secured to the underside'of the disk .52 adjacent the trailing edge of the opening 66 is a curved deflector blade 1'9 which is connected to one of the flanges 58, and
' "extends downwardly from the disk 52 for engagement with the bottom 14. This deflector plate 'lfl'cooperates with the flange 68 in directing a soap collected in thedispenser adjacent the axis thereof toward the periphery of the dispenser.
-In the preferred form of the invention a suit- --able inwardly extending 'arm' 12 may be secured to the side wall of the container ID for engaging a mass of soap S contained in the container,
and 'holdingit against rotation relative to said container.
"In use, a mass of soap S is introduced into the container through-its upper end to rest on'the With the cover I6 that the mass willbe'forced under yielding pres- .sure against the :rotor 50. Upon oscillating the hand lever 44, the pawl 46 will engage the teeth of the ratchet wheel 36 to cause the shaft 34 -to rotate in a direction to advance the 'blades '56 against the underside of the mass of soap S,
- so as to scrape soap therefrom and move it into the space between the rotor 50 and the bottom l4. As the rotor moves, the soap removed from the mass of soaps will be engaged by the flanges 58 and moved toward the discharge opening 24 The flange 68 and the deflector will cooperate in moving any soap which may find its way toward the axis of the container outwardly toward the periphery of the rotor 50, and theblade 64 will engage the underside of the mass of soap S so as to scrape the mass of soap adjacent its periphery. In this way the soap will be removed from the mass of soap S in a substantially uniform manner so that the bottom of the mass of soap S will remain substantially level at all times. Obviously the extruded soap moving through the discharge opening 24 may be caught in the palm of the hand as suggested in Figure 6, and the quantity dispensed may be regulated by the number of oscillations of the hand lever 44.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having described the claimed as new is:
