PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Perforated Soap Case.
I GEORGE GRAHAM of Grove Villa, Fenwick Grove, Fenwick Road, in the parish
of St. Giles Camberwell in the County of Surrey Commercial Traveller do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :―
-The object of this invention is to prevent waste of soap, to give additional facilities
for cleansing the skin in bathing and ordinary toilet ablutions, and to promote
efficiency in washing and cleansing clothes.
By the principle of construction every particle of soap placed within the case is
used up so that no waste can take place, whilst at the same time the case acts as a
scrubber upon the skin or as a rubber upon clothes.
The case is made of vulcanised india-rubber of various degrees of thickness
according to the size required and is of a variety of shapes and dimensions in order to
suit the forms of tablet cakes and squares of soap now in use for toilet and household
purposes.
The case will be perforated on each side with holes large or small in proportion to
the size of the case-in one pattern of case produced under this specification each
perforation is surrounded by a nipple thus-forming a kind of scrubber for ordinary
bath or toilet use-in another pattern a row of cones is placed between each line of
perforations and other patterns are made with a band of rubber between each line
of perforations for use either at the toilet or for household purposes such as washing
and cleansing clothes-the latter description of pattern being also made of sufficient
substance for scrubbing tables, floor-cloths, and other domestic appliances.
At the upper end of the case a valve is affixed attached to and forming part of the
sides so as to effectually close the case and prevent the soap from slipping out-the
bottom of the case is perforated to allow the water in the interior to drain off.
