BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a method and system to secure a shower curtain within a shower stall.

Description of Related Art

Shower curtains are a common household appliance that is used to seal off a shower stall. Many times a bathtub includes a shower and allows the user to shower within the bathtub. Still other designs of showers include shower stalls that are used exclusively for showers. In both instances it is necessary to contain water within the shower stall or bathtub while a person is using the shower. One manner to contain water is the use of a shower curtain that is suspended on a shower rod. When using a shower curtain one drawback is the accumulation of mildew and moisture over a period of time. When the user has completed the shower typically the shower curtain has a significant amount of moisture on the inside surface. The moisture may linger over a period of time and create mildew within the shower or bathtub. As a result it would be advantageous to have a system that could address this residual moisture on the shower curtain after taking a shower.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a method of securing a shower curtain that includes the steps of: attaching a connector to a corner of a shower curtain; attaching a receiver a top of the shower stall; and attaching the connector to the receiver. The connector preferably includes a O-ring, where the receiver is a J-ring.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 depicts a shower curtain system in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a system which suspends a shower curtain within a shower stall. By suspending the shower curtain the excess water residue is able to drain from the shower curtain and further exposes the shower stall to allow drying of water within the shower stall. They system according to the present invention involves placing a connector at one corner of the shower curtain. This connector is preferably in the form of an O-ring that attaches to a J-ring which is secured at the top rear of the shower stall. By suspending in one corner water residue from the rear of the shower curtain is now allowed to drain into the shower stall or bathtub. Further the shower stall and bathtub is closed therefore diminishing the buildup of humidity within the shower stall after use by the user.

FIG. 1 depicts the shower curtain suspension system according to its present invention. This suspension system includes the use of a J-ring 25 shown at the top of Shower Stall 52. Shower Stall 52 is shown in FIG. 1 within a Bathtub 50 that includes Shower Curtain 30. Shower Curtain 30 is suspended from a Shower Rod 20 during use and hangs within the Shower Stall 52. The O-ring 15 is attached to one corner of the Shower Curtain 30. O-ring 15 is attached with a Connector 10 and is stretched to suspend from J-ring 25 shown in FIG. 1.

They system according to the present invention uses the O-ring 15 to connect J-ring 25 as a connector receiver connection at the top of the Shower Stall 52. Once connected this exposes the shower stall allowing for the dissipation of humidity within the shower stall and also for the shower curtain to be in a position to allow excess fluid water to drain within the Bathtub 50. A similar arrangement could be implemented within a shower stall.
