ABSTRACT:
A receptacle in the shape of a steeply-inclined chute formed of a slick material and having a pair of rungs supported by ribs which extend generally upward from below the lower front edge of the chute to substantially its upper edge. The rungs are in contact with the lower surface of a bar of soap deposited in the receptacle, and the ribs support the bar out of contact with the inclined bottom wall of the chute. No surface of a rectangular bar of soap, when placed in the receptacle, is disposed in a generally horizontal position, thus facilitating the drainage of water away from the soap. Further, the contact between the receptacle and the least sloping surface of the bar of soap, that is, the contact between it and the rung, is minimized by having the plane of the upper surface of each rung generally forming an acute angle with the inclined bottom wall of the chute.
In use, the lower front edge of the chute is disposed below the edge of the ledge of a sink basin to which the base of the receptacle is affixed by adhesive. The proximity of the chute to the sink basin allows a user to transfer a bar of soap to and from the receptacle without dripping water or suds on the ledge. The chute may be attached to the base by means of projections on the underside of the chute which are slidably mounted upon the walls of the base so that the chute can be removed for rinsing without disturbing the base.
