Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of producing variegated soap bars having contoured striations comprising the steps of continually extruding a striated soap column from a plodder nozzle, peripherally gripping said moving column at a region located a predetermined distance forwardly of said nozzle and there applying a predetermined torque for twisting the column about its longitudinal axis through a predetermined angle relative to its direction of movement from said nozzle while permitting substantially unimpeded longitudinal movement of said extruding column, and then subdividing the twisted column into blanks and pressing the blanks into soap bars exhibiting the desired contour striations.
