Removable soap caddy for water cooler

Abstract

The present invention provides a soap caddy removeably attachable to a water cooler having a mounting bracket. The soap caddy includes a body, with the body defining a mating structure. The mating structure may include two projecting portions extending from the body, where the two projecting portions may each include an end cap extending from the projecting portion at a substantially perpendicular angle. In addition, the body provides a base extending from the planar body, and the base may define an aperture. The soap caddy can further include at securing element extending from the body.

1 . A soap caddy removeably attachable to a water cooler having a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket defines two protruding surfaces angularly oriented towards each other, the soap caddy comprising: 
 a body defining a mating structure, wherein the mating structure is slideably engageable with the mounting bracket; and    a base extending from the body.    
   
   
       2 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , further comprising a securing element coupled to the body.  
   
   
       3 . The soap caddy according to  claim 2 , wherein the securing element includes a flexible arm.  
   
   
       4 . The soap caddy according to  claim 2 , wherein the securing element includes a pair of flexible arms, wherein the pair of flexible arms are engageable with each other.  
   
   
       5 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , further comprising a securing element coupled to the base.  
   
   
       6 . The soap caddy according to  claim 5 , wherein the securing element includes a flexible arm.  
   
   
       7 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , wherein the base includes an aperture.  
   
   
       8 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , wherein the base includes a lip.  
   
   
       9 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , further comprising a knob coupled to the body.  
   
   
       10 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , wherein the mating structure defines two projecting portions extending from the body.  
   
   
       11 . The soap caddy according to  claim 10 , wherein the two projecting portions are angularly oriented substantially similar to the angular orientation of the two protruding surfaces of the mounting bracket.  
   
   
       12 . The soap caddy according to  claim 10 , wherein the two projecting portions each include an end cap extending from the projecting portion at a substantially perpendicular angle.  
   
   
       13 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , wherein the mating structure defines a singular protrusion extending from the body.  
   
   
       14 . The soap caddy according to  claim 13 , wherein the singular protrusion defines an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having a length larger than that of the lower portion.  
   
   
       15 . The soap caddy according to  claim 13 , wherein the singular protrusion has a substantially trapezoidal shape.  
   
   
       16 . The soap caddy according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one mounting aperture.  
   
   
       17 . A soap caddy removeably attachable to a water cooler having a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket defines two protruding surfaces converging at an angle towards each other, the soap caddy comprising: 
 a body defining a mating structure slideably engageable with the mounting bracket, the mating structure including two projecting portions extending from the body, wherein the two projecting portions each include an end cap extending from the projecting portion at a substantially perpendicular angle;    a base extending from the body, the base defining an aperture and a lip; and    a pair of flexible arms, wherein the flexible arms are engageable with each other.    
   
   
       18 . The soap caddy according to  claim 13 , further comprising a knob coupled to one of the pair of flexible arms.  
   
   
       19 . The soap caddy according to  claim 13 , wherein the two projecting portions are angularly oriented substantially similar to the angular orientation of the two protruding surfaces of the mounting bracket.  
   
   
       20 . A soap caddy removeably attachable to a water cooler having a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket defines two protruding surfaces converging at an angle towards each other, the soap caddy comprising: 
 a body defining a mating structure slideably engageable with the mounting bracket, the mating structure defining a singular protrusion extending from the body, wherein the singular protrusion has an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having a length greater than the lower portion, wherein the body further defines at least one mounting aperture;    a base extending from the body, the base defining an aperture and a lip; and    a securing element coupled to the body.
