Abstract

Shower curtain system for drill-free and glue-free installation for various bathtub or shower shapes and installation positions, characterized in that the system comprises at least two telescopic rods (1) designed for vertical or horizontal force-fit tensioning between boundary surfaces, such as walls, ceiling, floor or a bathtub edge, wherein an internal track shower curtain rod (2) is arranged on these telescopic rods (1) by means of fastening elements (3, 4, 8).

Description

Technical field The present invention relates to a shower curtain system that can be stably fixed in the room without permanent fixings such as drilling or adhesive bonds. The invention is particularly suitable for installation in bathrooms with different floor plans and bathtub shapes (e.g., niches, corner solutions, or freestanding bathtubs). State of the art Telescopic clamping rods, which are tensioned between two parallel walls by spring force or screw mechanisms, are well-known. However, these are limited to niches. For L- or U-shaped curtain tracks, as well as circular ones, current technology usually requires ceiling suspensions or wall drilling to counteract the leverage forces of the track's own weight and the curtain itself. Custom-made systems also often require permanent installation on the building structure. Object of the invention The invention is based on the objective of providing a flexible shower curtain system that enables complex geometries (U-, L-, O-shapes) without damaging the building structure and offers high stability. Description of the solution The task is solved by a system based on tensioning. The system comprises a shower curtain support device consisting of at least two (or four) telescopic rods (1) designed for tensioning between corresponding boundary surfaces – in particular, between a wall, bathtub rim, floor, and ceiling. A shower curtain rod (2), designed as an internal track profile, is mounted to these telescopic rods (1) via specific fastening elements (3, 4, 8). Depending on the material or design, the shower curtain rod (2) can be configured in various geometries, such as U-, L-, or O-shape. In extended embodiments, the system additionally includes a support rod (5), a connecting rod (6), and a pull rod (7), which serve for static stabilization or for the functional operation of the curtain system. Advantages of the invention • Preservation of the building structure: No drilling or chemical adhesives required; ideal for rental properties. • Residue-free dismantling: The system can be removed at any time without leaving any marks on tiles or grout. • Versatility: Suitable for almost all bathtub shapes, even where there are no opposing walls for traditional clamp bars. • Independent of the substrate: Works even on rough or uneven surfaces where adhesive adapters would fail. • Immediate readiness for use: No waiting time for adhesives to cure; easy height adjustment. • Cost-effective: A cost-efficient alternative to glass shower walls, while simultaneously saving on installation costs through self-installation.
