Claim 17:
18. A soap holder for holding a bar of soap, the soap holder comprising:
a base having a general top surface, the general top surface of the base having a length, a width and an area, the general top surface being upwardly convex so as to shed particles of soap, water and other particulate matter;
a hollow pedestal upwardly extending from the general top surface of the base and formed around a vertical axis, the length and width of the general top surface of the base being orthogonal to the vertical axis, an outer surface of the pedestal being curved around the axis, an inner surface of the pedestal being curved around the axis and defining a pedestal interior, the outer surface of the pedestal and the inner surface of the pedestal defining a pedestal wall therebetween;
the pedestal wall having a top end displaced from the general top surface of the base, the outer surface of the pedestal wall and the inner surface of the pedestal wall meeting at the top end in an upwardly convexly curved transition which also curves around the axis, a maximum length of the top end taken in a direction orthogonal to the axis being smaller than the length or width of the general top surface of the base;
the outer surface of the pedestal making a junction with the general top surface of the base, the junction being an upwardly concave curved transition with a minimum curve radius of at least 0.25 inch, the concave curved transition also curved around the axis; and
the base having a bottom surface, at least three feet of the holder downwardly extending from the bottom surface of the base so as to elevate the bottom surface of the base above a support surface, a bottom of the pedestal having at least one airhole therethrough so as to admit air into the pedestal interior.
