Self draining soap dish
First Claim
1. A self draining soap dish comprising,a floor web, the floor web including a planar rear wall mounted orthogonally and upwardly relative to rear edge of the floor web, andthe dish further including a right and left side wall wherein the right and left side walls are arranged parallel to one another and orthogonally mounted to the rear wall at rear terminal ends of each respective side wall, andthe right and left side walls including respective right and left forward ends wherein the right and left forwards ends extend beyond the floor web, andwherein the right and left side walls are of a generally "S" shaped configuration and the floor web includes a planar bottom surface underlying an inclined top surface, the inclined top surface angulated downwardly towards the right and left forward ends of the respective right and left side walls, andwherein the right and left side walls define a trough extending beyond and below the planar bottom surface of the floor web, andwherein the trough includes a planar trough floor wherein the planar trough floor defines an obtuse included angle between the planar trough floor and the planar bottom surface of the floor web, andwherein the right side wall includes a right planar rear portion and the left side wall includes a left planar rear portion wherein the right and left rear portions are arranged parallel to one another and are coextensive with the floor web, and the left and right side walls further including a respective right and left concave medial portion wherein the concave medial portions are spaced interiorly of the respective right and left side walls, and the concave right and left medial portions extend forwardly and downwardly relative to the floor web including right and left forward portions, the right and left forward portions include the planar trough floor fixedly mounted therebetween, andwherein the inclined top surface of the floor web includes a series of ribs, the ribs arranged parallel to one another and spaced apart a predetermined spacing, andwherein the trough floor extends forwardly and below the planar bottom surface of the floor web terminating in a trough forward edge, the trough forward edge arranged parallel to and below the planar rear wall, andwherein the planar rear wall includes an elongate sleeve longitudinally arranged and positioned within the planar rear wall, the sleeve defined by a predetermined length, and further including a cleaning tool, the cleaning tool including a first rigid leg wherein the first rigid leg is defined by a width substantially equal to the predetermined spacing and is defined by a length equal to the predetermined length of the sleeve, and the cleaning tool includes a second leg defining a handle orthogonally mounted to an upper terminal end of the first leg, and the sleeve receives the first leg complimentarily therewithin and selectively permits removal of the cleaning tool to permit directing of a lower terminal end of the first leg between the ribs to permit cleaning therebetween.

Abstract
A soap dish construction including a planar rear wall with an integral floor and generally S-shaped sides, each of the sides includes a forward portion directed interiorly of a rear portion wherein the forward portion projects beyond and below the floor. The floor includes a tapered upper surface to direct fluid directed up to the upper surface towards the forward portion of the side walls defining a trough including a trough floor. The trough floor angulates forwardly and downwardly relative to the inclined upper surface of the floor and is generally coextensively arranged therewith. The upper surface of the floor includes a plurality of spaced ribs defined by a predetermined spacing therebetween. A modified construction of the invention includes a tool receivable within a slot within the dish construction where a tool is defined by a first leg of a width substantially equal to the predetermined spacing between the upstanding ribs.
