BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of the Invention
(2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to soap devices and more particularly pertains to a new soap device for mixing soap with water from a shower head.


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bag that may be positioned around a shower head. The bag is comprised of a fluid permeable material to pass water from the shower head through the bag for bathing. A soap is positioned within the bag. The soap forms a mixture with water from the shower head thereby facilitating the mixture to pass through the bag for bathing.


There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.


The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.





BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:



FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a soap bag assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure.



FIG. 2 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.



FIG. 3 is a right side cut-away view of an embodiment of the disclosure.



FIG. 4 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure showing a disk being removed from a bag.



FIG. 5 is a phantom in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new soap device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.


As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the soap bag assembly 10 generally comprises a bag 12 that may be positioned around a shower head 14. The shower head 14 may be a shower head 14 in a bathing shower or the like. The bag 12 is comprised of a fluid permeable material. In this way the bag 12 passes water from the shower head 14 through the bag 12 for bathing. The bag 12 has an outer wall 16 and a perimeter edge 18 and the outer wall 16 is concavely arcuate such that the bag 12 has a bowl shape. The perimeter edge 18 is continuous such that the perimeter edge 18 defines an opening 20 into the bag 12. The opening 20 insertably receives the shower head 14 having the shower head 14 being positioned within the bag 12. The outer wall 16 has an inside surface 22.


An elastic member 24 is coupled to the outer wall 16 of the bag 12 and the elastic member 24 is aligned with the perimeter edge 18. The elastic member 24 biases the perimeter edge 18 inwardly toward a center of the bag 12. In this way the elastic member 24 biases the perimeter edge 18 to frictionally engage the shower head 14 when the bag 12 is positioned on the shower head 14.


A soap 36 is positioned within the bag 12 and the soap 36 forms a mixture with water from the shower head 14. The mixture to passes through the bag 12 for bathing and the soap 36 may a viscous bodily soap or the like. The soap 36 rests on the inside surface 22 of the bag 12. A disk 38 is provided and the disk 38 is removably coupled to the bag 12. The disk 38 has a first surface 40 and the first surface 40 is bonded to the perimeter edge 18 of the bag 12 such that the disk 38 closes the opening 20. Moreover, the disk 38 may be bonded to the bag 12 with an adhesive or the like.


In use, the disk 38 is removed from the perimeter edge 18 of the bag 12 and the bag 12 is positioned around the shower head 14. The water from the shower head 14 mixes with the soap 36 in the bag 12 when the shower head 14 is turned on. In this way a mixture of the soap 36 and the water passes through the bag 12 for bathing. The bag 12 is removed from the shower head 14 when the bathing is complete and the bag 12 is discarded.


With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.


Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.

Claims
  • 1. A soap bag assembly being configured to be positioned on a shower head thereby facilitating soap in said assembly to mix with water in the shower head for bathing, said assembly comprising: a bag being configured to be positioned around a shower head, said bag being comprised of a fluid permeable material wherein said bag is configured to pass water from the shower head through said bag for bathing; anda soap being positioned within said bag wherein said soap is configured to form a mixture with water from the shower head thereby facilitating the mixture to pass through said bag for bathing.
  • 2.
