Abstract:
A high speed continuous process for making variegated soap bars is disclosed. Soap chips and an emulsion of minor soap ingredients are each continuously supplied to a mixer. The output of the mixer is a homogenized and variegated soap mass that is refined, plodded in a vacuum plodder, cut into soap bars and finally pressed.
Abstract:
A soap cake comprising a thin support plate permanently fixed between a pair of soap halves which are integrated through openings in the plate. The plate extends peripherally from the soap halves providing a flange for better purchase. In another form, an elastic, sponge-like cover is stretched over the soap cake and permanently secured to the support plate flange. An alternative method of making the covered soap cake is taught wherein the stretchable container is used as a form of expansible mold for injecting thereinto liquid or plastic soap.
Abstract:
A light weight portable device that may be utilized to save soap by subjecting the remnants of bars of soap to compression to reform the remnants into a solid bar of desired configuration, and surplus water associated with the remnants being discharged from the device during the reforming operation. After the remnants have been reformed into a solid bar, the bar may be ejected from the device by a simple manual operation. The device is particularly adapted to being formed in its entirety from a polymerized resin such as polyethylene, polypropyline or the like by conventional molding techniques.
