A method for manufacturing a soap pad comprising the steps of:
- winding metallic wool into a roll form onto a spindle containing at least one hole therein;
- applying a soap solution to said roll form through said hole of said spindle to cause said solution to adhere to said metallic wool;
- separating said metallic wool from said spindle;
- and
- press forming said metallic wool into a desired shape.
A continuous method for manufacturing soap pads utilizing a disk-like member containing a plurality of spindles which extend from the surface of said disk-like member, said spindles containing means for dispersing a soap solution, which comprises, sequentially winding metallic wool into a roll on said spindles;
- applying a soap solution internally to said roll of metallic wool, causing said solution to adhere to said metallic wool;
- gradually retracting the spindle from the center of the roll of metallic wool, thereby separating said metallic wool from the spindle;
- and
- press forming said metallic wool rolls into a desired shape.
An apparatus for manufacturing soap pads which comprises, a disk-like member and means for rotating said disk-like member;
- a plurality of spindle elements extending from said disk-like member defining a plurality of metallic wool-receiving stations;
- means for sequentially winding metallic wool into a roll onto each of said spindle elements;
- a means for dispersing a soap solution from said spindle elements;
- means for gradually separating said roll of metallic wool from the spindle elements;
- and
- means for press forming said metallic wool into soap pads having a desired shape.
