The system holds the curtain at a position where the water splashes and droplets can't come out of the shower area. If the water splashes against the curtain the water shall run down to the shower area.The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.

Problems solved by technology

Shower curtains and liners have to be changed periodically due to the build-up of mold, soap scum, and other undesired residues.

Shower curtains and liners are often positioned on a shower rod using hooks, rings, clamps, rods and other time consuming, frustrating fasteners.

Such movement of the shower curtain is not only annoying to the bather but also allows water to spray out of the enclosure onto the floor.

Often the typical shower curtain does not adequately prevent water from spilling onto the bathroom floor as the curtain moves away from the shower walls due to the decreased pressure of air entrained with the water spray.

In addition, this effect can be due to an open window or door blowing the curtain.

These techniques often require installation of items to the tile.

Also when it is necessary to remove the curtain for cleaning or washing, the magnets or suction cups may break in the washing machine, making the arrangement useless.

However, to Applicant's knowledge, none of these prior art devices has been found to be completely suitable to meet this need.

It does not allow the shower curtain to leave the position near to the wall or bathtub so that water droplets or splashes do not go out of the shower area and if slide back to the shower area after striking the inner side of the curtain.
