Snap-in soap dish liner for bathroom fixtures

A soap dish liner for snap-in insertion into a built-in, bathroom fixture, soap dish recess of the type which is formed in a bathroom wall located adjacent to a bathtub and/or shower area, and which includes a generally U-shaped handle-washcloth support having a pair of side extensions which extend outwardly of the bathroom wall at opposite sides of the soap dish recess, and a main extension which extends between the side extensions at a predetermined distance away from the bathroom wall, all of said extensions bounding an open space in the upper region of the built-in soap dish recess, comprising:

• a housing having resilient wall portions spaced apart of each other to bound a soap compartment, said resilient wall portions being manually movable between
• a non-installed position in which the resilient wall portions are more closely spaced apart of each other to facilitate convenient insertion of the liner into, and/or removal of the latter from, the built-in recess, and
• an installed position in which the resilient wall portions are more widely spaced apart of each other to engage the bathroom wall portions which form the built-in recess with snap-type action for firmly securing the liner in the built-in recess,
• one of said resilient wall portions being a top shield wall portion which is juxtaposed with said open space and which shields the built-in soap dish recess from the entry of water from above the built-in soap dish recess, for preventing soap dissolution;
• and
• locking means for preventing the liner from unauthorized removal from the built-in soap dish recess, including a snap-in locking abutment mounted on the top shield wall portion for joint movement with the latter, said locking abutment being receivable in said open space and behind the main extension to snappingly engage the latter.
