following is a'specificjation.

This lnvention relates to improvements in sink attachments and it consists more i particularly to those providin .in its construction a combined soap hol er and rack.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, practical and eflicient device of the character above described, and which is adapted to be removably secured to and supported by the usual faucet-s employed in connection with sinks, bath tubs or basins.

A further object of the invention is to construct the attachment in such a manner that.

distance so as not to interfere with the said faucets:-

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description and it will be understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the invention and claims and that any suitable materials may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete invention as applied to and supported by the faucets. Fig. 2 is a front ele-j vation of the invention detached from the faucets. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the complete invention as attached to the faucet.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the complete invention.

Referring to the drawings 1 represents the ordinary back of a wash stand or basin, and

2the usual faucets employed in connection therewith for supplying hot and cold water, to which parts and construction the inveni tion may be readily and conveniently attached and supported.

The combined soap holder and rack to be hereinafter describedin detail is primarily constructed of a single length of wire and having its upwardly projecting arms 3 attached to a wire soap holder of any suitable or approved desi n. and construction, said arms being of su%cient length to properly support the soap holder 4 a desired distance or height above the faucets. The supportand project outwardly and then downwardly again a; suitable distance and are recurred to form supporting clips 5 which snap over and rest upon the oppositely located faucets 2 adjacent to the shoulder portions thereof.

In order to hold the recurved clip portions 5 in rigid contact with the shoulders of the faucets 2 and also to hold the upright supporting arms 3 in contact with the splash portion or back 1 of the basin, the extensions or continuations of the strand of portions 6 which are in binding contact with I the back 1 below the faucets, whereby the soap holder is rigidly held in a supporting position againstsaid back.

tions 6 and connecting the same is a supporting bar 7 which is disposed a suitable distance outwardly and between the faucets upon which a wash rag, towel, or other in advance of the soap holderet.

From the foregoing descrlption 1t W111 be structed in the manner described can be stantly removed from the faucets, easily washed or cleansed and quickly replaced when desired, by simply elevating the enfaucets. o

3. As an article of manufacture the herein described device comprising a rack composed of a bar, looped portion forming a continuation of said bar and projecting inwardly,

the continuation of said looped ,portion being properly curved and recurved to form oppositely located clips adapted for engagement with a pair of faucets, and a soap holder secured to and supported by the upwardly projecting ends of the rack thus formed, as and for the purpose described.

looped portions and connecting the same,

and a soap holder secured to the free ends of the supporting arms and adapted to hold the same at a suitable distance above the rack and in rear thereof, whereby the attachment thus formed is adapted to be removably supported between a pair of faucets and in yielding contact with the back or body portion of the basin from which the faucets project.
