Benefits of technology
The patent describes an improved shower curtain that can be used with any standard shower rod. The curtain has pockets and elongated members that can be either removable or sealed to prevent removal. The curtain also has secondary pockets at the bottom for holding weighted members. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a more convenient and flexible shower curtain that can be easily adapted to different needs and preferences.
Problems solved by technology
Physicists have yet to determine the definitive cause of this effect, and to date there is no ideal solution to prevent this phenomena from disrupting some of the few moments of solitude most of us get in today's world.
However, these assemblies are expensive and difficult to install and repair.
But these approaches have drawbacks of their own; magnets require a magnetic tub and suction cups are inconsistent and degraded over time.
And both require effort from the bather to attach and re-attach the magnets or suction cups several times during a typical shower, such as upon entering and exiting the shower.

Embodiment Construction
[0015]The elements illustrated in the Figures interoperate as explained in more detail below. Before setting forth the detailed explanation, however, it is noted that all of the discussion below, regardless of the particular implementation being described, is exemplary in nature, rather than limiting.
[0016]Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an exemplary shower curtain 10 is shown. The shower curtain 10 may securable to a shower rod using known techniques and may resist movement caused by air flow generated during a shower. The shower curtain 10 may include a body portion 11 having a plurality of apertures 12. The shower curtain 10 may also include one or more pockets 20a-e. In some embodiments, such as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the shower curtain 10 may include a first pocket 20a, a second pocket 20b, a third pocket 20c, a fourth pocket 20d and a fifth pocket 20e. The pockets 20a-e may be disposed about a corresponding one of axes 14a-e. The pockets 20a-e also may be dimensioned to recei...

An improved shower curtain may reduce or eliminate the shower curtain effect and work with any standard shower rod. The shower curtain may include pockets and elongated members disposed substantially vertically within the pockets. The elongated members may be removable from the pockets or the pockets may be sealed to prevent removal of the elongated members. The shower curtain body may also include weighted members disposed in auxiliary pockets located along a lower portion of the curtain.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present application relates to shower curtains.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Showers have been around for centuries, dating back to at least the ancient Greeks, and shower curtains undoubtedly were used a few days later. Ever since, people have attempted to solve the problem known as the shower-curtain effect, the phenomenon in which a shower curtain gets blown inward toward a bather as the water runs from the showerhead. Physicists have yet to determine the definitive cause of this effect, and to date there is no ideal solution to prevent this phenomena from disrupting some of the few moments of solitude most of us get in today's world.[0005]Currently, there are two approaches taken to reduce the shower curtain effect. Under a first approach, specialized shower assemblies have been designed with, for example, bowed rods and other specialized equipment to help keep the curtain physically away from the bather. However, these as...
