AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a shower curtain with an inside sheet made of plastic and a printed side with openings. The outside surface of the curtain is more reflective than the inside sheet. There is a connection between the inside and outside layers made through a thermal lamination process. The outside sheet also has a graphic print with openings. The shower curtain may also include a middle sheet and an opaque image printed on the outside sheet. The inside and outside sheets are both flexible wavy materials. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a shower curtain with improved visibility and aesthetic appeal while still allowing for proper drainage.

Problems solved by technology

An observer standing outside a shower receives glare such that clear vision through the openings is hindered.
