Abstract

The novel concept of a single embodiment, namely a self-draining soap dish unit fabricated with choice of materials, metals, sizes, shapes, styles, including the options for accessories, securable to fixed structure, in which the soap held in the container component of the unit is repositioned, by means of one or more integrated mechanisms, such as telescopic arm, pivoted leaver, hydraulic, hinge, pneumatic, motor, solenoids, springs and inclined plane, to a preferred location, such as sink, tub or shower floor, to enhance drying function of the soap, during use and thereafter, allowing water from the wet soap to drain into the preferred area and be eliminated, thus drying the soap effectively and efficiently, and is returned to its original position in the soap dish. The combined structural construction and functional elements of this single embodiment to enhance the drying feature of the soap makes this soap dish unit, unique and innovative.
