ABSTRACT:
A combined shower splash guard member with a shower curtain holder is provided by a molded, generally triangularly-shaped, and modified, one piece body having two straight legs that intersect at a vertex of the triangle, and a third, web-like leg that extends between the free ends of said first two legs of the splash guard. Means for holding the one piece body to a mounting for the body is provided by an adhesive strip of a length to be secured to the entire outer surface of the two straight legs of the splash guard. To accommodate the departure from the desired perpendicularity of the legs of the splash guard, a gusset means is provided in the web of the splash guard which permits the web of the one-piece body to be varied from its normally intended size and shape.
A shower curtain holding structure is provided in the molded web of the shower splash guard, by providing an aperture means that is formed through said web, and providing a selectively, manually movable, cantilevered, curtain-tensioning member to be located within said through-aperture formed in the web of the shower splash guard, so that manual movement of the tensioning member to a curtain-tensioning position may be used to effect friction holding of the shower curtain by said curtain-tensioning member and by the aperture means defined in the web of the shower splash guard member.
