ABSTRACT:
In a tub - shower environment comprising a tub enclosed on three sides by walls and open on the fourth side, where spray from the shower is intended to be retained within the tub - shower enclosure by a flexible shower curtain suspended from a curtain rod by hooks engaging grommet holes in the curtain and the rod, and extending across the open fourth side, between walls defining the ends of the tub - shower enclosure, there are provided mating pairs of hook-and-loop pads backed with waterproof pressure sensitive adhesive. The pads are positioned both on a vertical edge of the shower curtain and on the wall adjacent the shower curtain edge. A disposable rule is provided with means for attachment to a shower curtain hook. The rule is divided longitudinally into two portions, a curtain portion marked with indexes intended to guide positioning and attachment of one set of pads onto the curtain edge, and a wall portion marked with indexes intended to guide positioning and attachment of the mating pads to the adjacent wall. The positions of the curtain indexes are different from the positions of the wall indexes, whereby a tensioning effect is introduced into the curtain edge when the pairs of hook-and-loop pad are mated, thereby providing an effective seal between the curtain edge and the adjacent wall against undesired egress of shower spray.
