Soap Container Convertible to Soap Holder

Abstract

A disclosed convertible soap container 100 packages a bar of soap 600 or other object. A consumer may use perforations 400 to fold out a soap holding assembly 200 comprising a moveable back slide piece connected with a living hinge 220 to an inside lateral support assembly 229. The inside lateral support assembly may comprise a horizontal bar section 232 and a pair of lateral support sections 230. A soap support leg 240 may be connected by a living hinge 250 to the inside lateral support assembly. Disclosed embodiments package a bar of soap and may be easily configured to support the bar of soap between uses.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A convertible container system comprising:
 a) a back side, a top side, a pair of longitudinal side sections, a pair of lateral side sections;   b) the top side comprising a set of perforations, the perforations defining a pair of soap holding assemblies, the soap holding assemblies each comprising:   i. a moveable back slide piece, attached to a living hinge, the living hinge further attached to an inside lateral support assembly, the inside lateral support assembly comprising a horizontal bar section, a lateral support section;   c) each soap holding assembly further comprising a soap support leg attached via a living hinge to the inside lateral support assembly; and   d) a soap support leg void defined within the edges of the horizontal bar section, lateral support section and living hinge of the soap support leg.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of lateral voids, the lateral voids defined within an top lateral edge of the top side, lateral edges of the soap holding assembly and the living hinge of the soap support leg and the living hinge of the lateral support section. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  further comprising a set of lateral distal support sections, the lateral distal support sections found between the top longitudinal edges of the top side, the lateral edges of the soap holding assembly and the plane between the living hinge of the lateral support section and the top longitudinal edges. 
     
     
         4 . A method of using a container convertible into a soap holder, the method comprising the steps of using a box structure having:
 a) back side, a top side, a pair of longitudinal side sections , a pair of lateral side sections;   b) using two sets of perforations upon the top side of the box structure to define a pair of soap holding assemblies;   c) using a pair of soap holding assemblies to define a soap support leg, the soap support leg having a distal edge and the soap support leg attached via a living hinge to an inside lateral support assembly;   d) using an inside lateral support assembly comprising a pair of lateral support sections attached to a horizontal bar section; and   e) using a living hinge to attach the inside lateral support assembly to a moveable back slide piece, the moveable back slide piece comprising an outside surface.
