Benefits of technology

[0013]The preferred embodiment and best mode of the present invention is a shelf designed specifically to be installed and used in the unused space located above head level in most prefabricated showers. More specifically, the shelf consists of a substantially flat, rigid panel having a first side and a second side that intersect at an obtuse angle. The shape of the device allows a user to place the shower structure itself on the upper edges or flanges of the containment wall of the shower. More specifically, the shelf is placed such that one side rests on an upper flange of the shower structure and the other side rests on the upper flange of the shower structure that is roughly perpendicular to the first flange thereby allowing the shelf to be placed above the user's head and above the bathing space of the shower when in use.

Problems solved by technology

Angles that are significantly greater or less than 92 degrees can result in a shower shelf that does not seat properly in the corner of most prefabricated showers.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring now to the invention in more detail, in FIG. 1 there is shown a top plan view of a preferred embodiment of the disclosed shelf. The shower shelf is constructed of a substantially flat, rigid panel 11, with a first section 12 and a second section 13. The first section 12 and the second section 13 intersect to form an outer corner 14 and an inner corner 30. In the preferred embodiments of this shelf, the first section 12 is longer than second section 13. The panel 11 can include one or more holes 15 or cutouts 16 to facilitate the storage of bathing articles. A skilled artisan should be able to appreciate that a variety of attachment means can be used to attach various articles to the shelf including hooks, prongs, pegs, nails, catches, and even hook and loop fasteners.

[0025]In further detail, still referring to FIG. 1, the angle of the outer corner 14 at which the first section 12 and the second section 13 come together is generally not a right angle. Since most showe...

Abstract

A shelf designed to be used in a bathing setting, such as in a shower stall that includes a first section and a second section joined together to from an outer corner with an obtuse angle and an inner corner. The shelf is outfitted with one or more holes, cutouts, prongs, catches, hooks etc. to allow for items to be placed on the shelf or suspended from the shelf. The shelf is meant to be placed on the edges of the containment wall of a shower structure such that one side of the structure is on the edge of a wall that is approximately perpendicular to another side of the containment wall. Bathing articles can be suspended from the shelf, fed through the holes of the shelf or simply placed on top of the shelf.
