Environmentally degradable soap bar system

Details

Primary Examiner: Albrecht; Dennis L.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Rosenberg; Morton J.

An environmentally degradable soap bar system (10) which includes a degradable insert member (14) centrally positioned and molded internal to a soap bar (12). The degradable insert member (14) is generally formed from a water soluble plastic composition, which may be selected from a group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and polyethylene oxide. The degradable insert member (14) is substantially planar in contour and includes a plurality of through openings (24). Soap material is molded around the degradable insert member (14) and within the through openings (24). The soap material molded within the through openings (24) secures the degradable insert member (14) to the surrounding soap material and provides a mechanism for securing the degradable insert member (14) to the soap bar (12) independent of wear orientation imposed on the soap bar (12) during use. Subsequent to use, the degradable insert member (14) may be disposed of by generally dissolving the degradable insert member (14) in an aqueous solution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An environmentally degradable soap bar system, which includes a soap bar having a predetermined contour.
An insert member formed of an environmentally degradable composition is positionally located internal to the soap bar.
Additionally, a mechanism for securing the insert member to the soap bar independent of wear orientation imposed on the soap bar during use is provided.
An object of the present invention is to provide an environmentally degradable soap bar system, which permits the user to utilize a maximum volume of soap material making up the soap bar.
Another object of the subject invention is to create an environmentally degradable soap bar system, which may be easily disposed of subsequent to the use of the soap material.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a soap bar system which includes an insert member formed from a water soluble plastic composition which may be dissolved and disposed of through the normal drain system of a household.
A still further object of the instant invention is to provide an environmentally degradable soap bar system having an insert member formed of a composition selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and polyethylene oxide.
Another object of the invention is to create an environmentally degradable soap bar system, where a maximum amount of soap material is utilized and a minimal amount of soap material is necessarily discarded by the user.
A still further object of the instant invention is to provide an environmentally degradable insert member which is bonded to the surrounding soap material subsequent to a substantial volume of the soap material being consumed and is degradable upon eventual contact with an aqueous solution.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an environmentally degradable insert member for a bar of soap which is specifically contoured in order to minimize sharp edges in order that abrasive contact with the skin of a user will not injure the user
