The description of the invention which follows, together with the accompanying drawing should not be construed as limiting the invention to the example shown and described, because those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains will be able to devise other forms thereof.
Generally designated 10 is a two-component shower curtain of plastic construction material, in the lower component thereof, namely the curtain 12 per se, the upper edge of which is finished with a lower zipper track 14 (exposed by the folded over side edge 16, as noted at 18) which interconnects at 20 with an upper zipper track 22 which, as best understood from
The selected location 26 is, in a preferred embodiment, approximately 1¾ inches below the top edge 30 of the valance 28 so that the bottom edge of strip 24 is in an overlapping relation over the zipper track 22 to mask this zipper track from view. Also, when the curtain is not unzippered, the strip 20 due to its zipper-overlying position, also minimizes any adverse consequence of a direct direction showerhead spray that leaks through the clearance between the teeth of the zipper tracks 22, 14 from continuing as a spray into the shower room.
In its end use depicted in
When the shower curtain 12 is unzipped so it can be laundered, as already noted, the remaining upper component of the valance 28 still on the rod 38 is in covering relation over the upper zipper track 22 and masks the same from view.
While the two-component shower curtain herein shown and disclosed in detail is fully capable of attaining the objects and providing the advantages hereinbefore stated, it is to be understood that it is merely illustrative of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention and that no limitations are intended to the detail of construction or design herein shown other than as defined in the appended claims.
