Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a soap stand that helps conserve soap and keeps it dry when not being used. The stand has a fluted tubular shaft that prevents displacement, twisting or turning of the soap. The stand also has a skirt and outward threads that securely interlock with the soap and prevent it from sliding across a floor. The stand helps to speed up drainage and evaporation of surface water that may be adhering to the soap. It also provides an alternative to traditional soap dishes or holders, saving time, water, and the environment.

Problems solved by technology

Soap is slippery and easily gets out of a person's grip.
After soap is used in water, it becomes soft and messy and begins to crumble unless it is taken good care of.
Moreover, the soap may be wasted a lot faster and make the bathrooms being exposed to the risk of slip and fall accidents.
However, it is cumbersome for a soap user to place the soap back onto the soap container or soap holder following each period of use of the soap.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0023]FIGS. 1-3 respectively show a perspective view, a top view and a front view of the soap stand according to the present invention. The soap stand 100 comprises a bottom portion 10; a skirt 20 extending upwardly around the circumference of the bottom portion 10 and defining an opening 11; and a tubular shaft 30, extending upwardly from the circumferential rim of the skirt 20. The tubular shaft 30 is the part to be inserted into a cake of soap and the bottom portion 10 supports the integrated soap and soap stand 100. Preferably, about the center of largest side of the soap is inserted by the tubular shaft 30 and then, the bottom portion 10 can stably support the soap. The soap is soft and malleable and the upwardly fluted shaft 30 is easy to be inserted into the soap. Among many kinds of shapes, the bottom portion 10 is p...

Abstract

This invention relates to a soap stand, comprising a bottom portion, a skirt extending upwardly around the circumference of the bottom portion and defining an opening, and a tubular shaft which is fluted and annular, extending upwardly from the circumferential rim of the skirt. The bottom portion is preferably circular and so are the skirt and the tubular shaft. The tubular shaft extends radially and outwardly from the skirt as well as upwardly. Besides, the tubular shaft further comprises a plurality of ridges, with each adjacent pair of said ridges defining a depression therebetween. In addition, the soap stand further comprises a soap stop disposed in the opening and fixed to the bottom portion. The soap stop is preferably cylindrical and its top portion is flat.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a soap stand, and more particularly, to a soap stand having an annular fluted tubular shaft for secure interlocking with a cake of soap, thereby preventing displacement, twisting or turning of the soap.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Soap is used in bathrooms or kitchens. Soap is slippery and easily gets out of a person's grip. After soap is used in water, it becomes soft and messy and begins to crumble unless it is taken good care of. Moreover, the soap may be wasted a lot faster and make the bathrooms being exposed to the risk of slip and fall accidents.[0003]To prevent these problems, a number of soap containers or soap holders have been known and used. For example, a soap holder as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,475,500 has been disclosed to conserve soap and help fast drainage of water adhering to the soap. The soap holder comprises a base and receptacles for receiving and supporting the soap.[0004]However, it is cumbe...
