Tripod Soap Holder

摘要

A soap holder is provided having a tripod projection suitable to receive a cake of soap that has a central hole (described in prior art as “Spindle Soap”). This invention simultaneously provides balanced support and multiple openings for improved drainage of the cake of soap between uses. The soap holder may be made of stainless steel, brass, plastics, resins, and porcelain, among other materials, and may be a single formed piece. The device may be easily cast or formed by injection mold technique. The soap holder may also be fabricated from wire, rod or plate stock.

主权项

1. For use with a cake of spindle type cake soap described in prior art, a soap holder wherein the improvement comprises:
a.) three uniform supporting ribs that diverge in a trilaterally symmetrical tripod arrangement from a common high point, the supporting surfaces of which ribs extend outward from the vertical axis of symmetry by a constantly increasing distance as approaching the base, thereby elevating a cake of soap on three minimal points of contact with the edges of the soap hole, and b.) between which ribs are disposed three continuous and downwardly draining voids of maximum volumetric area permitted by fabrication.
