Abstract
A multifunctional water-resistant bathroom fixture is provided for multiple utilitarian applications in the bathroom including use as a water-resistant bathroom soap holder and bathroom tissue dispenser for coordinating the bathroom shower area. The multifunctional bathroom fixture includes a wall mounting bracket or frame for carrying a pivotal sloping cover and a water-resistant closure device disposed between the sloping cover and wall mounting frame. The wall mounting frame may include sloping sides conforming to the configuration of the sloping cover to provide a soap dish or bathroom tissue closure that is resistant to water and adaptable to a wide variety of applications in the home.
Claims18
A multifunctional bathroom device comprising:
- (a) a wall attachment mounting frame for mounting to a wall;
- (b) a shelf extending substantially perpendicular from said wall attachment mounting frame;
- (c) a sloping cover for covering said wall attachment mounting frame and said shelf;
- (d) means for the pivotal attachment of said sloping cover to said wall attachment mounting frame;
- (e) a spring-actuated bar and detente combination for periodically maintaining said pivotable sloping cover in an open position;
- and
- (f) a water-resistant closure means formed between said sloping cover and said wall attachment frame.
A water-resistant multifunctional soap dish comprising:
- (a) a wall mounting frame having an upper end and a lower end;
- (b) a substantially perpendicular shelf extending from said lower end of said wall mounting frame;
- (c) a pair of side walls mounted on said wall mounting frame said pair of side walls extending outwardly from said lower end of said wall mounting frame to a distance substantially equivalent to the length of said substantially perpendicular shelf, said pair of side walls having sloping edges sloping from said lower end of said mounting frame to said upper end of said wall mounting frame;
- (d) a pivotable sloping cover sloping to correspond to said sloping edges of said pair of side walls, said pivotable sloping cover being held in its closed position by its own weight;
- (e) pivotal attachment means for pivotally attaching said pivotable sloping cover to said wall mounting frame;
- and
- (f) a spring biased rod and groove combination for periodically maintaining said pivotable sloping cover in an open position.
A water-resistant soap dish comprising:
- (a) wall mounting means having sloping sides sloping outwardly and downwardly from the upper end of the wall mounting means to the lower end of the wall mounting means said sloping sides having inside edges;
- (b) a shelf extending substantially perpendicularly from said wall mounting means to a distance substantially equal to the distance said sloping sides extend from said lower end of said wall mounting means;
- (c) a pivotable sloping cover sloping to correspond to said sloping sides, said pivotable sloping cover extending laterally to and beyond the inside edges of said sloping sides, said pivotable sloping cover being held in its closed position by its own weight;
- (d) means for the pivotal attachment of said pivotal sloping cover to said wall mounting means;
- and
- (e) a spring biased rod and groove combination for periodically maintaining said pivotable sloping cover in an open position.
