Abstract: A container for a soap bar is provided which container is formed of first and second mating sections which are hollowed to form a soap-bar-receiving chamber when the sections are mated. The chamber recess in the first section is formed so as to control the position of the soap bar therein to control the contact area of a wet soap bar with the walls of the chamber in the first section so as to minimize sticking of the soap bar to the chamber walls and to facilitate air flow through the chamber. An opening is provided in the first section to permit the soap bar to be pushed out therefrom with a users fingers and to, in conjunction with an opening in the upper section, further facilitate air flow through the container for soap bar drying. A lip or other suitable element may be provided to prevent water drippage from the openings or the openings may be otherwise designed to inhibit water from flowing therethrough.

Abstract: A combined carrying package and soap bar receptacle structure is disclosed. The structure comprises a pair of aligned plates adapted to receive a soap bar product therebetween. The surfaces of the plates in contact with the soap bar product have a plurality of spaced-apart parallel grooves extending between from opposite sides of each of the plates. A carrying bag is in contact with the bottom plate and is sealed at its top end with a drawstring or other closure.

Abstract: A combined package and dish structure for a soap bar product. The structure is formed of four side walls connected to form a box open at the top and bottom, the box being dimensioned to permit the soap bar product to be fitted therein. A plurality of dowels extend between two opposed sides of the box near the bottom thereof. When the structure is used as a package, the soap bar product is positioned in the box resting on the dowels, and a covering is provided for the top of the box. The covering may be included as part of a wrapping for the box. When used as a soap dish, the structure is inverted to permit the soap bar product to rest on top of the dowels.
