Abstract: A suction cup has a flat central portion on its concave side having a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive thereon, the layer of adhesive is covered by a stripable protective liner.

Abstract: An automatic control system for a vehicle windshield wiper system which includes a plurality of sensors which are activated in response to various degrees of moisture precipitation or rain and an electronic control circuit adapted to be activated by the sensors to start and stop the wiper mechanism and also to operate it intermittently and at low or high speed in accordance with the degree of rain or moisture precipitation.

Abstract: A soap bar and holder therefor wherein the soap bar has a centrally apertured plastic insert embedded therein and the holder has a rubber suction cup base for mounting on a suitable surface and a shank having a free end portion adapted to receive the plastic insert in the soap bar so as to support the soap bar with the shank in either a horizontal, inclined or upright position. The soap bar is adapted to be retained on the holder either loosely or in a stable condition so that one's hands may be rubbed over the soap bar while the bar remains on the holder and the bar may also be removed from the holder and used in the manner of a conventional bar of soap.

Abstract: A die for a soap bar is formed of two vertically separable half sections each having a cavity therein corresponding to one-half section of the soap bar. At least one of the cavities has a central vertical pedestal therein for supporting an insert in spaced relation to the surrounding cavity walls so that when the two die sections are advanced toward each other with a soap bar blank therebetween a bar of soap is molded with the insert embedded therein in a plane between and spaced from the opposite faces of the bar.

Abstract: A soap bar and holder combination wherein the holder has a base, a shank and a head, the axis of which is perpendicular to the plane of the base, and the soap bar has an insert embedded therein formed with a cavity adapted to be telescoped over the head of the holder to removably support the soap bar on the holder. The diameters of the head and cavity are related so that the soap bar may be retained on the holder either loosely or firmly.
