Abstract

The device consists of a clip which can be inserted in the soap tablet and of a piece of soap having especially adapted recess for insertion of the clip. The clip is fixed in the soap to prevent the latter from softening at the place where it is deposited as a result of the water flowing therefrom after use. This is achieved by providing it with a special shape, whereby the adhesion forces are rendered inactive and at the same time a pleasant sensation is provided during the washing process. The advantages of fresh soap can therefore be enjoyed without any unpleasant greasiness. Plastic designs enable in particular soap producers to use the clip in addition for advertising purposes by applying the name or emblem of the firm. An appropriate recess in the soap reinforces the function of the clip.

Description

"Vorrichtung zum Trockenhalten von Seifenstücken" "Device for keeping soap bars dry"
Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einem in die Seife einsetzbaren Klipp und aus einem Stück Seife mit besonders angepaßter Aussparung zum Einstecken des Klipps.The device consists of a clip that can be inserted into the soap and a piece of soap with a specially adapted recess for inserting the clip.
Eine durch häufigen Gebrauch und ungeeignete Ablage schmierige Seife ist unangenehm und verbraucht sich rasch. Die Seifenhersteller versuchen durch Formgebung mit kleinen Auflageflächen dem entgegenzuwirken, doch zu verhindern ist es damit nicht. Ablagen mit Noppen reiben die nasse Seife auf und verschmieren sehr schnell. Sie bewirken eigentlich das Gegenteil ihres Zwekkes, sind jedoch trotzdem seit Jahrzehnten im Angebot. Die bessere Lösung sind Magnethalter, aber sie müssen am Platz montiert werden, sind dadurch nicht transportabel und auch nicht immer störungsfrei. Beim Tragen von Ringen reibt sich Metall an Metall. Störend wirkt auch der Metalleinsatz, da er beim Abwaschen der Seife unangenehm kantig hervortritt.A soap that is greasy due to frequent use and unsuitable storage is unpleasant and wears out quickly. The soap manufacturers try to counteract this by shaping with small contact surfaces, but this cannot be prevented. Shelves with nubs rub the wet soap and smear very quickly. They actually do the opposite of their purpose, but have been on the market for decades. Magnetic holders are the better solution, but they have to be installed in place, making them not portable and not always trouble-free. When rings are worn, metal rubs against metal. The metal insert also has a disruptive effect, since it comes out unpleasantly angular when the soap is washed off.
Im folgenden wird eine einfache, sehr preisgünstige Möglichkeit beschrieben, mit der ein Aufweichen der Seife auf der Ablage verhindert wird. Die Vorteile einer frischen Seife können so ohne unangenehmes Verschmieren genutzt werden. Das vom Verbraucher oft zur Abhilfe angewandte aber auch nachteilige Austrocknen durch Lagerung kann entfallen.The following describes a simple, very inexpensive way to prevent the soap from softening on the shelf. The advantages of a fresh soap can thus be used without unpleasant smearing. The dehydration caused by storage, which is often used by consumers as a remedy, can also be dispensed with.
Beschrieben wird ein Gegenstand, im weiteren Seifenklipp genannt, in runder oder länglicher Form, der so konstruiert ist, daß er in ein Stück Seife gesteckt, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, ein aufweichen und verschmieren auf der Ablage verhindert. Er dürfte zweckmäßig, auch des Preises wegen, aus Plastikmaterial mittlerer Härte hergestellt werden und ist immer wieder verwendbar. Der Klipp muß handfreundlich sein und hat die Aufgabe, den Kontakt der ablaufenden Flüssigkeit zur Seife zu verhindern. Beides wird erreicht durch schrägen 1 oder besser noch runden stufenförmigen Absatz 2. Eine einfache Platte, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, kann den Wasserkontakt durch Adhäsion nicht verhindern, da weich gewordene Seife die Kanten zuschmiert 3, sodaß der Kontakt mit dem Wasser bald wieder hergestellt ist. Sie müßte zudem unangenehm hoch ausgelegt werden. Auch eine reine Schräge 1 ist immer noch schmieranfälliger als ein stufenförmiger Einzug 2. Die Kräfte der Adhäsion können über die Stufenform bis zur Seife nicht wirksam werden. Die Oberflächenspannung des Wassers reißt noch unterhalb der Platte ab 2.An object, hereinafter called a soap clip, is described in a round or elongated shape, which is constructed in such a way that it is inserted into a bar of soap, as shown in FIG. 1, to prevent it from softening and smearing on the shelf. It should be useful, also because of the price, made of plastic material of medium hardness and can be used again and again. The clip must be hand-friendly and has the task of ensuring that the liquid that runs off contacts the soap prevent. Both are achieved by inclined 1 or better still round step-shaped paragraph 2. A simple plate, as shown in Fig. 2, can not prevent water contact by adhesion, since softened soap smears the edges 3, so that the contact with the water soon again is made. It would also have to be designed to be uncomfortably high. Even a pure bevel 1 is still more susceptible to smearing than a step-shaped indentation 2. The forces of adhesion cannot take effect via the step shape up to the soap. The surface tension of the water tears off below the plate 2.
Wichtig ist noch, daß der Fuß rundum als flache Schaukel 4 geformt ist. Der Klipp paßt sich dadurch nicht nur jeder Ablage an, die Rundungen unterstützen auch wesentlich den Abriß der Oberflächenspannung vom Wasser und er kann außerdem flacher, handanschmiegsamer gehalten werden.It is also important that the foot is shaped as a flat swing 4 all around. As a result, the clip not only adapts to every shelf, the curves also significantly support the removal of the surface tension from the water and it can also be kept flatter and more flexible.
Festen Halt bekommt der Klipp in der Seife durch ein Netz von Stegen wie in Fig. 3 in einer Aufsicht gezeigt. In einer weichen Seife gibt eine umlaufende Aufkantung allein nicht den notwendigen Halt, da die aufweichende Wassereinwirkung hier am stärksten ist und die Kante nicht über Gebühr hoch ausgelegt werden kann. Durch den zweiten Stegring und den unterteilten Feldern wird unter dem Klipp ein Aufweichen durch unterwanderndes Wasser verhindert. Die Stege sind, verbindend zu den einzelnen Feldern, zum Entweichen eingeschlossener Luft, mit schmalen Luftschlitzen wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt versehen. Da diese sich sofort zusetzen, ergeben sich in der Praxis keine Nachteile. Durch die feldverbindenden Schlitze kann ein verkantetes Einsetzen kein Luftpolster einfangen.The clip is firmly held in the soap by a network of webs as shown in a top view in FIG. 3. In a soft soap, all-round upstand alone does not provide the necessary hold, since the softening effect of water is strongest here and the edge cannot be extended too high. The second web ring and the divided fields under the clip prevent it from softening due to infiltrating water. The webs, connecting to the individual fields, are provided with narrow air slots, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to escape enclosed air. Since these clog up immediately, there are no disadvantages in practice. Due to the field-connecting slots, a tilted insertion cannot catch an air cushion.
Die preisgünstige Plastikausführung bietet besonders den Seifenherstellern die Möglichkeit, den Klipp in spezieller Ausführung zu nutzen. Wenn Fabrikationsmethoden und Kosten es ermöglichen, ist die Anwendung des Klipps auch als dünne Folie, für Einmalverwendung unmittelbar mit der Seife verbunden möglich. Die notwendige Stabilität, die sonst der Klipp selbst erbringen muß, wird in diesem Fall durch die raumausfüllende Seife erbracht. Um den Rand des Klipps durch den Abwaschprozeß nicht zu schnel heraustreten zu lassen, wird dieser Rand in eine Seifenaussparung eingesetzt, die zur Randzone entsprechend vertieft angelegt ist Fig. 5. Gleichzeitig wird zum leichteren Einsetzen des Klipps für die Stege ein paßgleiches Rillensystem ausgespart.The reasonably priced plastic version offers soap manufacturers in particular the opportunity to use the clip in a special version. If manufacturing methods and costs make it possible, the clip can also be used as a thin film, directly connected to the soap for single use. In this case, the space-filling soap provides the necessary stability that the clip itself must provide. In order not to allow the edge of the clip to emerge too quickly through the washing-up process, this edge is inserted into a soap recess, which is correspondingly recessed in relation to the edge zone.
Sine Anzahl von Seifenformen lassen auch ohne Aussparung die Verwendung eines einheitlich neutralen Klipps zu, der lediglich in die feuchte Seife eingedrückt wird.The number of soap molds allows the use of a uniform, neutral clip, which is simply pressed into the damp soap, even without a recess.
Die Seife ist im nassen Zustand sehr glatt und rutschig. Sie bekommt durch den Klipp noch zusätzlich bessere Rutschfestigkeit.The soap is very smooth and slippery when wet. The clip gives it even better slip resistance.
Das richtige Ablegen der Seife auf dem Klipp übernimmt, wie so viele tägliche Handgriffe, schon nach dem zweiten bis drittenmal das Unterbewußtsein. The correct placing of the soap on the clip, like so many daily operations, takes over the subconscious after the second to third time.
