Abstract: There is disclosed a soap bar holding and dispensing device which comprises a housing having a top, sidewalls and an open bottom with a soap bar rack pivotally mounted within the housing. The rack is formed by at least one leg having a distal, laterally projecting foot which, when the arm swings to a closed position, engages beneath the soap bar to secure the bar within the housing. The housing also includes at least one rib on an inside sidewall in juxtaposition to the leg and projecting to the leading edge of the foot when the rack is pivoted into its open position, thereby stabilizing the soap bar when the rack is moved to its open position and permitting the soap bar to fall from the dispensing device into one's hand.

Abstract: The application discloses a design for an automatically dumping hopper for use with a forklift. The hopper is designed for a 1-man operation with the operator transporting stacking and dumping the hopper without leaving the forklift seat and without the use of any controls other than the controls of the forklift. Two embodiments of the invention are disclosed. One embodiment which is useful for sand, gravel and other loose bulk material has a hinged bottom secured to the sidewalls with a hasp latch constructed such that when the hopper is tilted on edge, the hasp clears from its retainer, releasing the bottom to open when the hopper is lifted. The latch only releases upon tilting of the hopper so that the hopper can be transported and stored when lifted vertically.
