Description
SOAP CAKE HOLDER Filed March 30, 1962 INVENTOR.
L a aye/fe Car/26H BY RNEI/ ATTO United States Patent 3,104,490 SGAP CAKE HOLDER Lafayette Cornell, 3349 32nd St. SE, Grand Rapids, Mich. Filed Mar. 30, 1962, Ser. No. 183,857 6 Claims. (til. 45-28) This invention relates to a holder for bars or cakes of soap or the like. The main objects of this invention are,
First, to provide a holder for a cake of soap or the like which may be quickly and easily engaged with the cake of soap and is eifectively retained in engaged position.
Second, to provide a support for a bar of soap or the like which constitutes an efl'ective support for the cake of soap on the top of a lavatory or the like, and which supports the soap in a soap dish so that the cake of soap is effectively drained after use.
Third, :to provide a soap cake support having these advantages which is highly attractive in appearance and may be economically produced as an integral stamping from light metal stock, the parts being arranged so that the projecting parts are eifectively braced.
Fourth, to provide a support element having these several advantages which may be formed of relatively light stock and constitute 'a strong and rigid unit.
Objects relating to details and economies of the invention will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a cake of soap with a holder, the support of my invention, aflixed thereto.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view on a line corresponding to line 2-2. of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the support of my invention substantially enlarged as compared to commercial sizes.
KG. 4 is a top plan view.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view on a line corre sponding to line 5-5 of FIG. 3.
It will be understood that a cake of soap, designated by the numeral 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2, is conventionally illustrated and that soap cakes or bars greatly vary in shape and size. However, the supports embodying my invention are adapted to be afiixed to soap cakes of types commonly on the market, and the support may be repeatedly attached to soap bars or cakes as the cakes are used up.
The embodiment of my invention illustrated comprises the cross shaped body member 2 having a continuous upwardly projecting flange 3. The arm portions 4 are of substantial length and are of uniform length and width. The portions 5 of the flange at the ends of the arms are fluted and they project downwardly substantially below the portions of the flange between the arms. The fluted portions 5, in this embodiment, project outwardly and constitute soap-engaging teeth which may be embededly engaged in the bar of soap, as is illustrated in FIG. 2. The body member has a centrally disposed recess 6 therein of substantial diameter, and in the preferred form this is concave in shape.
It will be noted that in this embodiment illustrated, the flat portions of the body member entirely surround ice the recess and extend into the arms. This provides a substantially planar portion" adapted to rest upon a surface conventionally illustrated at 7 in FIG. 2. The recess 6 greatly reduces or minimizes the tendency of the support to slide on a surface and also serves as a thumb or finger hold in applying the support to a cake of soap. With the soap-engaging prongs spaced, and uniformly spaced, the support is not only effectively engaged with soap bars of varying shapes, but the tendency to split or fracture the cake of soap when the support is applied thereto, is minimized. As stated, another advantage is that the holder of my invention is attractive in appearance.
I have illustrated and described a highly practical embodiment of my invention. It will be understood that sizes and shapes may be considerably modified, however, the general cross shape is a highly desirable feature.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A support of the class described comprising a cross shaped body member the arms of which are of substantial length, the body member having a continuous upwardly projecting peripheral flange, portions of the flange at the ends of the arms being fluted and projecting upwardly and outwardly relative to the portion of the flange between the arms, the body member having a centrally disposed concave recess of substantial diameter therein, the portion of the body member surrounding the recess and extending into said arms being substantially planar.
2. A support of the class described comprising a cross shaped body member the arms of which are of substantial length, the body member having a continuous upwardly projecting peripheral flange, portions of the flange at the ends of the arms being fluted, the body member having a centrally disposed concave recess of substantial diameter therein, the portion of the body member surrounding the recess and extending into said arms being substantially planar.
3. A support of the class described comprising a cross shaped body member the arms of which are of substantial length, the body member having a continuous upwardly projecting peripheral flange, portions of the flange at the ends of the arms being fluted and projecting upwardly and outwardly relative to the portion of the flange between the arms, the body member having a centrally disposed recess of substantial diameter therein, the portion of the body member surrounding the recess being substantially planar.
4. A support of the class described comprising a cross shaped body member the arms of which are of substantial length, the body member having a continuous upwardly projecting peripheral flange, portions of the flange at the ends of the arms being fluted, the body member having a centrally disposed recess of substantial diameter therein, the portion of the body member surrounding the recess being substantially planar.
5. A support for a cake of soap or the like comprising a body member having a plurality of laterally projecting arms of substantial length and of substantial width at their outer ends, the arms having upwardly projecting fluted tooth-like portions at their outer ends, the body member having a centrally disposed concave recess therein, the portion of the body member surrounding the recess and extending into said arms being substantially planar.
6. A support for a cake of soap or the like comprising a body member having laterally projecting arms of substantial Width :at their their outer ends and terminating in upwardly projecting fluted prongs, the body member having a central recess therein, said prongs projecting above the plane of the top of said recess, said recess being surrounded by a planar surface.
