AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is about a shower curtain liner or curtain that has multiple pockets on the outside for holding portable electronic devices like smartphones and tablets. These pockets are designed to keep the devices secure and comfortable while showering. The pockets are placed based on the curtain and can hold devices in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides an easy and comfortable way for people of various heights to view and interact with portable electronic devices while showering.

Problems solved by technology

The poorly sized pockets do not properly hold the electronic device tight or taut against the shower liner, curtain or other water barrier layer.
Because of these poorly sized pockets interaction with the portable electronic device is very difficult or nearly impossible.
In addition, the poorly placed pockets make viewing the screen very difficult or impossible for the vast majority of users due to the different heights of individual users.

Abstract

The device is a clear shower curtain liner, shower curtain, or similar device (“curtain”) that includes pockets. The pockets are designed with the specific purpose of holding the most popular portable electronic devices such as iPads and iPhones. The curtain acts to protect the device from water damage, while also allowing the user to view, listen to, and interact with the device, by both pressing physical buttons and touch activated screens. The curtain has a wide variety of pockets of various sizes and orientations to increase the likelihood that a person can find a pocket that is close to their eye level and that will snugly fit the device they own in either a vertical or horizontal position.
