Method and structure for recycling soap chips

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of recycling soap chips wherein a container is utilized which comprises, an inwardly offset upper rim, the container including a floor, a space between the floor and the rim adapted to receive a charge of water therein, electrical heating means adjacent the container floor for heating the water in the container space, and separate rack including two septums perpendicular to one another, dividing the rack into four compartments; the rack compatibly mating with and suspended by the offset upper rim a predetermined distance above the water, the method comprising: gathering chips of soap; placing chips of soap into each of the compartments; activating electrical heating means for heating water in container space; melting the soap chips; deactivating the heating means; cooling the rack; removing the rack from the container; and turning the rack over, emptying formed soap bars.




Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to soap and more particularly to a method and a structure for recycling soap chips.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past many people have thrown out small pieces of soap when they have become too small for conventional use.
These small pieces of soap may be collected and utilized to be melted in the container to be described hereinafter into a new bar of soap which can then be used.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of this invention to provide a structure within which a rack may be suspended in a container and heated so that soap chips positioned in the rack will be melted into a flowable mass so that later, the rack may be removed, cooled and the soap removed as formed soap bars.
It is thus seen that this invention provides a simple and inexpensive means for preparing formed soap bars from a collection of smaller pieces of soap which are too small for regular use and, the same is, accordingly, an object of this invention.
In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG
