Patent ID: 7424949

Claim:
A soap dish handling system comprising: a soap dish with a plurality of apertures constructed for the passage of water from the soap dish; an imperforate tray constructed for retaining water in the tray; a primary region having a recipient area for the tray and a laterally spaced secondary region; a coupling assembly adapted to allow the lateral displacement of the soap dish with respect to the tray, the coupling assembly including an attachment mechanism positioned adjacent to the tray and a telescoping arm with an inner end coupled to the attachment mechanism and an outer end coupled to the soap dish, the telescoping arm having a plurality of telescoping sections adapted to extend and contract upon manipulation by a user, the coupling assembly also including a coupling between the outer end of the telescoping arm and the soap dish for the adjustable positioning of the soap dish with respect to the attachment mechanism about a vertical axis of rotation, the coupling assembly adapted to allow the lateral displacement of the soap dish with respect to the tray between a rest position and an operative position, the rest position being at a location with the soap dish above the tray whereby moisture from the soap in the tray will fall through the apertures of the soap dish into the tray, the operative position being at a location over the secondary region whereby moisture from the soap dish will fall through the apertures of the soap dish and be drained away; and accessory holders and containers located in proximity to the soap dish for the storage of associated toiletry and other accessories.
