Abstract

An improved shower curtain hook has two hook portions, wherein individual hook portions each extend through openings in a pair of aligned shower curtain sheets. The shower curtain hook has rollers that have a cylindrical outer surface to roll along a curtain rod as the shower curtain is moved between open and closed positions. At ends of the rollers there are curved surfaces, however, the central portion of the rollers is cylindrical.

Example

[0009] A shower environment 20 is illustrated in FIG. 1 having a curtain rod 22 with hooks 32 supporting a curtain 24 having two sheets 25 and 28. Sheet 25 is supported on a first hook portion 26 and sheet 28 is supported on a second hook portion 30 of the plurality of hooks 32. A leg portion 33 extends from the hook portions 26 and 30, and into a hoop portion 35. Stops 34 capture a plurality of rollers 36. The rollers 36 support the hooks 32 for easy sliding movement along the curtain rod 22.
[0010] As can be appreciated from FIG. 2, stops 34 and 38 capture a plurality of rollers 36. The rollers 36 each have a generally cylindrical radially outer surface 40 at a central location, and opposed ends 42 that extend along a curve. The cylindrical outer surfaces 40 better support the hooks 32 on the curtain rod 22, when compared to the spherical prior art rollers. In addition, the use of the cylindrical outer surfaces 40 with curved ends 42 result in more space to accommodate adjacent rollers 36.
[0011] As can be appreciated from FIG. 3, the plurality of rollers 36 are mounted onto the hoop portion 35, by being moved over the stop 34, and adjacent to the stop 38. The present invention thus provides a unique shower curtain hook, in which the hook portions are better supported on a curtain rod, and the roller members are better able to support the hooks, and to provide space for adjacent rollers 36.
[0012] Although a preferred embodiment of this invention has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.
