G. BOLOGNESI ,4 2 Oct MAGNETIC SOAP HOLDER AND TOO'IHBRUSH HOLDER 7 COMBINATION WITH SOAP DROP CATCHER Filed June 19. 1967 INVEKTOR.
United States Patent 3,472,391 MAGNETIC SOAP HOLDER AND TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER COMBINATION WITH SOAP DROP CATCHER Gino Bolognesi, Pico Rivera, Calif. (P.0. Box 372, South Pasadena, Calif. 91030) Filed June 19, 1967, Ser. No. 647,891 Int. Cl. A47]: 81/02; A46b 17/02; A47g 29/00 US. Cl. 211-65 1 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE, DISCLOSURE The present invention relates; to a soap holder and toothbrush holder combination with soap drop catcher which will hold a bar of soap by means of a mounted magnet and a magnetic metallic disc, while at the same time holding toothbrushes on either side of a wall bracket by means of a pin. In addition there is a tray to catch the soap drippings which can be used for other purposes as well, for example to hold a wash cloth, a tube of toothpaste, or other supplies.
The present invention relates to a soap holder and toothbrush holder combination with soap drop catcher which will hold a bar of soap by means of a mounted magnet and a magnetic metallic disc, while at the same time holding toothbrushes on either side of a wall bracket by means of a pin. The pin also serves as a means for connecting a soap drop catcher to the wall bracket which contains the mounted magnet.
It has been customary in devices of this character to make the soap holder in such a way that the bar of soap rests directly upon the holder. The present invention, on the other hand, suspends the soap and holds it in midair magnetically. In addition, in the present invention, there is a tray to catch the soap drippings which can be used for other purposes as well, for example to hold a wash cloth, a tube of toothpaste, or other bath supplies.
An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic holder for a bar of soap which may be readily and cheaply manufactured, is attractive in appearance, and readily attached and detached to the wall.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a single device upon which both toothbrushes and a soap can be held.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tray that not only catches soap drippings, but can be used to hold any number of bath supplies.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, when read in connection with the accompanying drawing in which similar characters of reference represent corresponding parts in each of the several views:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a side view of the invention.
Referring to FIGURES 1 through 4 of the drawing, there is illustrated a wall bracket 5 with a generally elongated convex shape, the front portion of which is rounded otf. The back portion of this wall bracket curves out to a semicircular shape with a flat back which is used to support the unit to the wall. The back of the wall bracket is provided with openings 11 in the event it is desired that the wall bracket be secured to the wall with screws. The wall bracket can also be secured to the wall with cement glue. In the front portion of the wall bracket there is secured on the underside a mounted circular-shaped iron magnet 7. A cap-shaped magnetic metallic disc 8 with jagged edges is pressed into a bar of soap. The bar of 3,472,391 Patented Oct. 14, 1969 anchor it to the openings on the sides of the wall bracket. The pin 9 serves a dual purpose: It serves as a means for connecting the soap drop catcher 6 to the wall bracket;5, and acts as a bar upon which to hang toothbrushes by means of the hole in the toothbrushs handle. The pin 9 is firmly anchored into position with the placement around the pin of a C ring 10 on either side of the wall bracket. The C rings serve as a means of keeping the entire assembly in place.
The base of the soap drop catcher 6 is rectangular in shape in its outer periphery. The inside of the base is slightly curved or dish-shaped to facilitate its cleaning. The soap drop catcher flanges upward from one side of the base in a generally arced position. The flange is adapted and curved to enter the wall bracket 5 and contains two openings which correspond and complement those in the wall bracket. The pin 9 is placed first through the opening in the wall bracket, then through the openings in the flange of the soap drop catcher 6, and then through the other opening in the wall bracket.
When the entire assembly is in place and secured to the wall, the soap dIOp catcher can be tipped upward if desired for cleaning, but the wall bracket will remain stationary.
The present invention can be made in different shades and colors from a number of different materials such as chrome, plastic, and porcelain.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated, it is to be understood that the aforesaid is by way of illustration only and is not restrictive in character, and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
1. A soap holder and toothbrush holder combination with soap drop catcher comprising of a wall bracket with a generally elongated convex shape, whereby the front portion is rounded off and the back portion curves out to a semicircular shape with a flat back which is used to support the unit to the wall, the back of said wall bracket being provided with three openings to secure said wall bracket to the wall, and on either side of the back of the elongated portion of said wall bracket there is an opening through which a pin with slightly rounded ends is inserted; in the front portion of said wall bracket there is secured on the underside a mounted circular-shaped iron magnet; a cap-shaped magnetic metallic disc with jagged edges which when pressed into a bar of soap will thereby hold said soap to the magnet by means of magnetic force; a pin which contains slightly rounded ends and two spaced exterior grooves to help anchor it to the openings on the sides of the wall bracket, said pin serving a dual purpose: as a means for connecting the soap drop catcher to the wall bracket and as a bar upon which to hang toothbrushes by means of the hole in the toothbrushs handle, said pin being firmly anchored into position with the placement around said pin of a C ring on either side of the wall bracket; a soap drop catcher the base of which is rectangular in shape in its outer periphery and the inside of said base is slightly curved or dish-shaped, and said soap drop catcher flanges upward from one side of the base in a generally arced position, said flange being adapted and curved to enter the wall bracket and containing two openings which correspond and complement those in the wall bracket; the above mentioned pin, when connecting the soap drop catcher to the wall bracket is inserted through one of the side openings in the wall bracket, then through the openings in the flange of the soap drop catcher, and then through the other side opening in the wall bracket; and the wall bracket remains stationary when the entire assembly is in place and secured to the wall, but the soap drop catcher can be tipped upward.
2. A soap holder and toothbrush holder combination comprising of a wall bracket with a generally elongated convex shape whereby the front portion is rounded 01f, and the back portion curves out to a semi-circular shape with a fiat back which is used to support the unit to the wall, the back of said wall bracket being provided with three openings to secure said wall bracket to the wall, the front portion of said wall bracket containing on the underside a mounted circular-shaped iron magnet; and a capshaped magnetic metallic disc with jagged edges which is pressed into a bar of soap, thereby holding said soap to the magnet by means of magnetic force; on either side of the back of the elongated portion of said wall bracket References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS 2,576,303 11/1951 Matter 312206 2,586,626 2/ 1952 Dunn 248-309 2,825,177 3/1958 Nordlof 248-359 X 2,952,364 9/1960 Jacobson 211- 3,019,549 2/1962 Evans 312351 X CHANCELLOR E.
