  • Patent number: 10246285
    Abstract: A web roll handling and loading system and methods employ hubs positioned on opposing sides of a roll of web material wound on a hollow tubular core. Hub faces have an annular shape configured to be seated in respective ends of the hollow tubular core. The hubs are pivotably supported for pivoting between an operational position and a deflected position. The roll of web material is loaded on the hubs by lifting it from beneath the hubs to deflect the hub faces arcuately upward, then lowering the roll to allow the hub faces to pivot downward and become seated in the ends of the hollow tubular core. Alternatively, the roll is loaded into a pick-up tool by lowering the pick-up tool downward to the roll so the hubs deflect arcuately upward, then raising the tool so the hubs pivot downward and become seated in the hollow tubular core.

  • Publication number: 20080210650
    Abstract: A bar soap lift made of a rigid, predominantly flat base with smooth rounded edges and slight concave bottom, concave interior, and a ledge formed where base and neck meet, where neck is smaller in diameter than base with multiple protuberances evenly spaced extending perpendicularly from the base on the neck sides upwards, all formed in one piece. This device inserts into the bottom of a bar of soap where it embeds into the bar of soap and due to these protuberances, friction and suction are created thereby securing the soap bar in the device until removed. This device allows the soap bar to dry completely between washings, keeping soap fresh and dry, as well as minimizing the melting soap scum that routinely forms underneath a soap bar. Additionally, this device makes bar soap much easier to hold on to while washing, preventing the problem of a slippery soap bar.
