TOOL FOR REMOVING HAIR FROM BAR SOAP

Abstract

A hand held tool enabling a user to remove hair from a bar of soap, by providing a row of tines attached to one end of a handle, oriented perpendicular and pointed down at an obtuse angle to that handle, for optimal dragging along the surface of a bar of soap, in order to collect and remove unwanted hair in an efficient, safe, and resourceful manner, as a means to encourage social common courtesy and improve basic hygiene practices.

Claims

1. A tool to assist a user in removing hair from a bar of soap, the tool comprising: a handle, a row of tines attached to the handle, wherein the row of tines are: located at one end of the handle; oriented perpendicular to the handle; pointed down in relation to the intended position of the handle when being held; and, oriented at an obtuse angle to the handle in relation to the intended position of the handle when being held.

2. A tool as in claim 1, wherein the handle is constructed out of a rigid material.

3. A tool as in claim 2, wherein the end of the handle opposite the row of tines is in the shape of a curl.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The present invention will now be described more fully in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0017] FIGS. 1-5 illustrate a tool 100 used for the removal of hair from a bar of soap. The tool 100 includes a handle 10, a row of tines 20, a thumb grip 30, and a curled end 40.

[0018] FIGS. 6-7 show examples of typical use of the tool 100 on a bar of soap S.

[0019] Operation of the tool 100 is performed by holding the tool 100 in one hand by the handle 10. Added control of the tool 100 is provided via the thumb grip 30. The tips of the tines 20 are placed on the surface of bar of soap S and are dragged across bar of soap S in the direction of the handle 10, towards the hair H to be removed. The obtuse angle of the tines 20 in relation to the handle 10 provides optimal positioning of the tines 20 for dragging and collecting hair H. Hair H located in the path of the tines 20 are caught up in the tines 20 and dragged across the surface of bar of soap S.

[0020] Hair H collected in the tines 20 is removed and discarded and the tool 100 can be cleaned by rinsing under running water. The tool 100 can be placed on a wall mounted holder using the curled end 40 at the end of the handle 10. This allows for convenient access in most conventional washing environments.

[0021] It is understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention. Variations in the construction may be contemplated by one skilled in the art without limiting the intended scope of the invention herein disclosed and as defined by the following claims.
