Description

Soap dish

The subject of a consumer sample is such a soap dish, which provides an ideal solution for the hygienic storage of several soaps without dissolving, and also allows several methods of installation and location in the bathroom.

A number of known manufacturing techniques for soap dishes for conventional and liquid soaps. The most serious drawback of most soap dishes is that the soap, after use, cannot dry out because the soap dish is too closed or the soaps are placed on top of each other, therefore they dissolve, which leads to an unpleasant sensation when using soap, and with hygiene points are also imperfect. Concerning soapboxes mounted on the wall, the disadvantage is the imperfection of bolting on the wall, since such a fastening is easily loosened, the soapbox can fall, in addition to this method, it is necessary to drill a hole in the tiles, which in turn can lead to cracking. The use of soap dishes of a small size, without fixation and a plate shape is also inconvenient, since the soap often slips out of them, it is easy to sell them from a wet surface, which reduces their life cycle.

Patent description under registry number 83167 with the name Soap dish for soap and sponge is a soap dish solution, on the basis of which the soap dish goes deeper into the wall, is walled up and a volumetric recess with a drainage gap is formed, with only a few centimeters extending from the wall surface. Although the chance of breakage is less and does not take up much space, such a solution is not practical, since the design of such a soap dish is rather difficult, because of breaking the wall it requires a specialist, in addition, it is not mobile, that is, in case of a violation, the repair is complicated and, due to being built into the wall, such a soap box becomes an apartment property.

Patent description under registry number 145264 eliminates the above-described drawbacks by a magnetic solution so that a metal plate is embedded in the soap, and a magnet is placed in the console soap box, which holds the soap on top. This solution ensures that the soap remains free from all sides, thereby protecting it from dissolution, characteristic of other types of soap dishes, but it can be used to store only one soap. A series of soap dishes consists of two parts: plates and perforated bookmarks. Water flows through the slots of the bookmark into a plate, so the soap remains dry on the bookmark. The disadvantage of most of these solutions is that the dishes are filled with water in a short time, which closes the soap from the air, thus soaking the bottom of the soap.

The soap dish according to the patent description under registration number 137714 intends to solve this problem so that it is able to keep the soap dry regardless of how much water drains from it. According to this decision, the bookmark stands on its feet, which hold the surface of the bookmark carrying soap, above the level of the edge of the plate. Water flowing from the soap overflows over the edges of the plate before its level reaches the bottom of the bookmark and soap, so the air through the slots of the bookmark can have constant access to soap, thereby drying it. The weakness of this solution is that the relatively long legs are quite vulnerable and this soap dish can also only contain one soap.

The purpose of the consumer sample is to create a container that, in addition to protecting the soap from dissolution, allows simultaneously accommodate personal soaps of several people or soaps of different types. Many, for medical or hygiene reasons, have the need to use several types of soaps. In large families, such a need can easily arise. It is also necessary that the soap dish is multifunctional, that is, in addition to soap, it is possible to store shower gel, shampoo and other detergents in tubes in it. The recoverable difficulty, in addition, is the vulnerability and rapid wear of soap dishes.

The consumer sample is based on the realization that the soap dish can be designed in a multi-sectional structure, at the bottom of which there is at least one gap, thanks to which all soaps can be protected from dissolution at the same time and their separation can also be ensured. Against vulnerability, wood can be an effective material, and the method of fixation is the possibility of clinging to the edges of bathtubs, sinks, shower trays and cabin blinds.

The first method for selling a consumer sample is such a soap dish, which consists of a bookmark-holder and a plate-stand, where the plate-stand is a vessel open above and bounded from below by waterproof walls. The holder tab has at least two compartments that are open at the top, and at the bottom and side have restrictive elements. The restrictive elements of the compartments from the side of the adjacent compartment are walls that are not intersected by breakdowns, at the bottom of the compartments there is at least one outlet slot, at the bottom of the compartments there is at least one horizontal bearing surface. There is at least one support element between the bookmark-holder and the plate-stand. The vertical projection of the plate-holder in all directions exceeds the vertical projection of the bookmark holder. The soap dish is made of wood.

s According to one of the most advantageous forms of decorating a soap dish, the tab freely enters the recess of the plate.

A characteristic of another advantageous manufacturing form of the soap dish 90 is that the support elements are attached to a tab or plate.

We also consider it advantageous if, on the tab or plate, grooves for supporting elements are designed, the dimensions and arrangement of which correspond to the cross section and division of the most supporting elements and which can freely accept supporting elements. 95 Soap dish can be designed so that the legs are mounted on the bottom of the stand.

The material of the soap dish, according to the advantageous design form, is a homogeneous or plywood wood.

A soap dish for hanging on the edge of a bathtub or other bathroom furniture can be designed in such a way that a pendant accessory is attached to one of the sides of the stand plate. The suspension practically consists of two vertical trailers and one bridge connecting them. The highest point of the lower edge of the bridge is higher than the vertical point of the compartments, on 105 the upper side of the suspension there is an additional recess for the plate.

The soap dish on a consumer sample is given in detail in the following figures:

Figure 1 shows the most common form of soap dish. Soap dish material is wood, which reduces its vulnerability. In the interests of simple manufacture, it seems appropriate that a specialist in this field use a homogeneous or plywood tree and widely

125 well-known technologies (gluing reinforced with spikes and stitches), but based on the function of the product and the spirit of the consumer sample, its individual components (plate-stand [1] and bookmark-holder [2]) can be made separately, from one piece of material by cutting, processing on CNC machines, or other methods.

130 Treated, assembled and glued wooden elements, if necessary, are coated with protective preparations (for long-term protection against blue mold, fungi spoiling the tree, in the external and internal spaces, etc. “Fenylakk” - a means for protecting wood on a water-polyurethane basis) and varnish tree. Soap dish consists of

135 bookmark-holder [2] and the plate-holder [1] located under it.

The compartments [3] of the bookmark holder [2] are capable of accommodating soaps of normal size and shape. The number of compartments [3] in the case of a “family” type of soap dish can reach five, the recommended width is 30 mm, the wall thickness of the partitions [6] between them is 12 mm.

140 From this we get the length of the bookmark-holder [2] of this type of soap dish 210 mm, width 100 mm. The number of compartments, of course, can be any. The vertical projection of the plate-stand [1] in all directions exceeds the vertical projection of the bookmark-holder [2], thereby ensuring that the soapy solution draining from the bookmark- 145 of the holder [2] gets into the support plate [1] and does not pollute its surroundings. This is also facilitated by the legs [5] located on the lower part of the support plate [1]. Between the tab-holder [2] and the plate-stand [1] there are supporting elements [4], fixed to the lower or upper part and are in contact with another part

150 almost exclusively on its supporting surfaces. Supporting elements

[4], in the simplest case, are made in the form of cylindrical pins, but can take the form of a ball, a multifaceted pillar, or other profile.

Fig. 2 shows separately the stand plate [1] and the holder tab

155 [2]. On the support plate [1], it is necessary to make a recess [8], which is created either by means of vertical walls fixed to the bottom of the support plate [1], or they are made by milling the material of the lower plate. In the case of this sample, the supporting elements [4] are fixed to the tab-holder [2]. Opposite them on a plate stand

160 [1] receiving sockets [7] are formed, having a shape and a cross-section according to the supporting elements [4]. The combined action of the support elements [4] and the receiving sockets [7], in addition to the air gap between the plate-stand [1] and the bookmark-holder [2], provides lateral stability of the bookmark-holder [2]. Lateral stability may be

165, it was also achieved that the walls of the recess [8] of the support plate [1], fully or partially, are freely joined to the side with the parts of the bookmark-holder [2] (for example, with the walls [6]) located at the same level. The fastening of the support elements [4] and the location of the receiving sockets [7] can be replaced between the plate-stand

170 [1] and the bookmark holder [2]. The compartments [3] are separated by separating elements, which, in the simplest case, are uncrossed walls [6]. Other demarcation elements of compartments [3] can also be walls [6], or plates with holes and breaks, or even lattices. Fig. 3 shows such a version of a soap dish in which to a plate-stand

175 [1] joins the side hitch. With the help of such a hitch, the soap dish can be hung on the edge of the bathtub or other bathroom furniture from above. The hitch is fixed to one side of the support plate [1] by means of a vertical rack [11]. The upper part of the upright [11] continues in the bridge [10], extending from the plate-stand

180 [1] in the horizontal direction, at the other end of the bridge [10] there is another vertical post [11] below the bridge. The accessory with a hitch contains an additional recess [9], which can be used to place other bathroom accessories. The design of the additional recess [9] may be similar

185 to the recess [8] of the support plate [1]. In Fig. 3, drainage slots [12] are visible on the lower part of the compartments [3], which are designed to prevent the accumulation of soap solution in the compartments and to ensure air access to the soap. At the bottom of the compartments [3] there is at least one horizontal surface, which is recommended so that the compartments can

190 was to put shower gel, shampoo, and other detergents in tubes. This horizontal surface, in the case of a plate structure, is the full bottom of the compartments [3].

Figure 4 shows the hitch in more detail. The bridge [10], together with the uprights [11], is a hitch with a bend

195 down, the radius of which allows to hang the structure at the edges of the bathrooms with a normal width. For stable mounting of the soap box, it is recommended to place the highest point of the lower surface of the bridge [10] (which, due to the placement method, will probably touch the upper edge of the bathtub) above the average height point of the compartments. Such a height

200 fastenings increases the shoulder of gravitational force, thereby - stability of fastening. The bridge [10] and vertical posts [11] can also be either curved or angular. The curved shape of the bridge [10] can give tip plates placed at the ends of the bridge [10], cut off by a curved shape.

205 Fig. 5 shows the attachment of the hitch to the walls of the shower. The vertical racks [11] on the side of the support plate [1] are elongated to a large extent so that the soaps are at an easily accessible height, since the upper edges of the shower cabins, on which the soap dishes are hung, are much higher than the head. In current

210 case, in the middle of the bridge [10] there is a handle [13] looking down, which does not impede the movement of the sliding doors of the cabin under the hitch.

The recommended soap dish fulfills our main goal, namely the separation of soaps and their protection against dissolution, to its advantages 215 are added multilateral fasteners and long-term manufacturing materials.
