COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Holder or Receptacle for Soap, Pomatum, and
similar Substances.
I, CARL SARG, of IV, Schwindgasse 7, Vienna, in the Empire of Austria Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to a holder or receptacle for soap pomatum, wax and similar
substances. This improved holder or receptacle can be conveniently handled, and is
so arranged that the material which it contains can be caused to pass out according
to the requirements without any necessity for taking the said material in the hand.
This receptacle comprises a cylindrical shell provided with a coarse screw thread.
The lower end of this shell is closed by a cover which is adapted to be turned and has
a flat projection arranged upon it and extending into the said cylindrical shell.
Instead of a flat projection use can be made of a number of projections arranged
eccentrically upon the said cover. These projections are surrounded by the soap,
pomatum or other material contained in the holder or receptacle.
When the above mentioned cover is turned upon the lower part of the shell the
said material is carried away by the projections and by reason of the screw thread
formed in the cylindrical wall of the holder or receptacle is caused to pass from or
into the latter according to the direction of the turning movement. It will be seen
that the cylindrical wall of the holder or receptacle constitutes under these circum-
stances a fixed nut wherein the material which forms the screw is moved.
In the accompanying drawing an improved holder or receptacle of the kind above
described is represented in Figure 1 in vertical section and in Figure 2 in horizontal
section.
As shown this holder or receptacle comprises a shell a which is provided with a
coarse screw-thread and the lower end of which is closed by a cover adapted to be
turned. Under this cover is arranged a flat projection c which extends into the
cylindrical shell a and is surrounded by the material d contained in the holder or
receptacle. When the cover bis turned the material is carried away by the pro-
jection e, and according to the direction of the turning movement it is screwed from or
into the same.
In lieu of a flat projection I sometimes employ several projections arranged
eccentrically on the said bottom cover and extending into the shell.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A holder or receptacle for soap, pomatum, wax and similar substances which enables
the material to be moved from the same according to requirements, characterized by
a shell which is provided with a coarse screw-thread and the lower end of which is
closed by a cover adapted to be turned, a flat projection or several projections arranged
eccentrically projecting from the aforesaid cover into the shell so that they are
surrounded by the material and carry the latter away when the cover is turned.
Dated this 29th day of July 1890.
