Abstract: A soap holder and dispenser suitable for installation and use in a shower. It includes a pouch formed from synthetic netting material sized to receive a bar of soap and a hanger with a hook which supports the pouch in the shower. The pouch has a pocket for the soap and a pair of integral flaps extending upwardly away from the pocket walls. The outer ends of the flaps are fastened together and provided with an eyelet of a size to fit the hook so that the pouch can be hung on it. The flaps are of sufficient length to provide openings between their side edges through which a bar of soap can be passed into the pocket of the pouch. The hook is integral with a shaft mounted in a plastic base designed for attachment to the shower wall with a suitable adhesive.

Abstract: Two nested downwardly diverging frustoconical lamp shades are supported at their upper ends by a base which also supports a lamp bulb. The shades have openings therein which, when aligned by adjustment of one of the shades, passes a beam of light from the bulb to a reading or like area. The intensity of illumination can be controlled by changing the extent of overlapping of the openings. Shade elements extend across the lower ends of the shades and have openings therein. One of the shade elements is adjustable relative to the other to move the openings therein in and out of register with the openings in the other element whereby to vary the intensity of illumination of light projected downwardly by the lamp bulb.
