Abstract
Abstract A container assembly (10) comprising a pair of liquid containers (12, 14) and a soap bar retention pocket (16). The retention pocket (16) is integral with the containers (12, 14) and forms an enclosure (18) for housing a bar of soap. A recess (20) in a wall (22) of one liquid container (14) receives a mating projection (36) from a wall (22) of the other container (12) to form the pocket (18). Alternatively, an independent soap bar container has mating halves (24, 26) received within respective recesses (20) in the liquid containers (12, 14).
