JOHN B. RIEHL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE SANITARY SOAP OUP AND NOVELTY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF
PENNSYLVANIA.
SOAP CUP OR HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,689, dated May 18, 1897.
Application filed December 9, 1896. Serial No. 614,999. (No model.)
To all wwnt t 77mm/ concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN B. RIEHL, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Soap Cups or Holders,which improvement is fully set forth in the following specication and accompanying drawings.
My invention consists of a novel construction of soap cups or holders in which the soap is positively prevented from turning or shifting during the action of the cutting device, and provision is further made for enabling the soap to be always positively supported by the blade or cutting device thereunder under all conditions.
It further consists of novel details of construction, all as will be hereinafter set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
Figure l represents a side elevation of a soap cup or holder embodying my invention and a support to which the same is applicable. Fig. 2 represents an inverted plan view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a section on line fr, Fig. 2. Fig. 4L represents a section on line 'y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 represents a section on line z z, Fig. 2, the upper portion of the holder being broken away.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a holder, the same consisting of the body or barrel B, the latter being provided with the base O, which is sustained upon anysuitable support D near the washbowl.
E designates an inwardly longitudinallyextending ridge located in the barrel B and adapted to engage a similarly longitudinallyextending recess E in the soap F, as will be understood from Fig. 4.
G designates a weight which is adapted to rest upon the top of the soap F and has one end of the chain H attached thereto, the other end of said chain being secured to the cap J, which is screwed or otherwise secured to the top of the barrel B.
K designates a boss depending from the base C, said boss being adapted to serve as a journal or bearing for the blade L, through which it passes, said blade being held in position by means of a washer M and plate N, which latter is secured in place by the screw P or other fastening device, whereby said blade is enabled to have an oscillatory movement about its bearing.
Especial attention is called to the contour of the blade L, the same having the extensions L and N', whereby it will be apparent that the cake of soap F will always have a positive support thereunder, no matter in what position said blade L may be. Thus, as will be evident from Fig. 2, before actuating said plate the portion L will support the cake F, and after the cutting device, to be hereinafter referred to, has c-ut a slice from the soap the portion N of the blade will continue to support the same.
Q, designates a pin or projection extending from said blade L, said pin having secured thereto the member R of the spring S, said spring being mounted upon a suitable fixed point T, attached to the base O of the holder, while the other memberU of the spring contacts with the rim U' of said base.
V designates a recess or slot in the blade L, the same being in the present instance rectangular or other shape and having secured therein in any suitable manner the cutter W, the same having its cutting edge projecting slightly above that face of the blade L with which the soap contacts, as will be evident from Fig. 3, whereby the space X is formed for the thin shavings of soap after being severed to drop and be received in the hand of the user.
In the preferred form of my invention I provide a portion of the base C with the inwardly-projecting flange or rim C', whereby the blade L is held in position, said blade being actuated by means of the nger-piece Y, which projects laterally through the slot A in said base C, the extent of said slot being indicated at the points Z, Figs. 2 and 3.
The operation is as follows: The parts initially appear as seen in Figs. 2 and 3, and it will be apparent that if the finger-piece Y is movedY in the direction of its arrow (seen in Fig. 2) a thin shaving of soap will be severed and will drop through the opening X, the resiliency of the spring R restoring the blade IOO L again to the position seen in Fig. 0, and especial attention is called to the fact that by the provision of the extensions L' and N' of the plate or blade L the soap will always be supported, no matter in what position said blade may be, said soap being, further, kept from turning or shifting by means of the longitudinal ridge E, which engages a similarlylocated recess E' in the soap, as will be understood from Fig. 4.
In a contemporaneously-pending application filed by me on the 10th day of September, 1896, Serial No. 605,375, I have shown a soap cup or holder in which the cutting device is provided with a laterally-dellected member adapted to bridge the open bottoni of the soapcasing; but the present invention is designed to protect more especially the device for preventing the soap from turning or shifting during the act of cutting and is an improved means for supporting the soap in every position it may assume, for attaching the cutting device to the base of the holder, and for restoringA said cutting device to its initial position; and to none of the constructions shown in my hereinbefore-referred-to application do I herein make my claim.
It will of course be evident that changes maybe made by those skilled in the art which will come within the scope of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exact construction I have herein shown and described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. In a soap cup or holder, the barrel I3 havingalon gitudinally-extending depression E therein, the base C upon which said barrel is supported, a bearing K depending from said base, the blade L mounted on said bearing and having the extensions N', L', the latter being adapted to always support the soap in position, fastening devices for supporting said blade, the cutter IV attached to the latter, a spring S for restoring said blade to normal position, said spring being mounted on a pin T, and being provided with the inembers U and R, said member R engaging the pin or projection Q attached to said blade.
2. In a soap cup or holder, the barrel B adapted to receive a cake of soap, and provided with means for preventing rotation or shifting of said cake, the base C upon which said barrel is sustained, an oscillatory blade L mounted on a bearing projecting from said base, a plate N adapted to support said blade, a screw P engaging said bearings and holding said plate in position, said plate being provided with extensions L', N', the inwardlyextending rim or flange C adapted to assist in sustaining said blade, a finger-piece Y attached to the latter, a slot in said base through which said iin ger-piece projects, and a spring suitably supported and having one end engaging a projection attached to said blade, while its other end engages a suitable fixed point.
