ABSTRACT:
A shower curtain adapter for expanding the showering space within a shower enclosure, which enclosure has first and second facing vertical sidewalls, a third wall which extends between the first and second sidewalls and a shower curtain which hangs from a straight standard curtain rod extending between the first and second walls. The adapter of the present invention includes an adapter rod having a length which is greater than the distance between the first and second walls and which is made of flexible material. The adapter rod may be mounted in an operative position between the first and second walls and in such position will flex into a bow configuration to engage the hanging shower curtain pushing it outward of the enclosure to expand the showering space. A coupling means for supporting the adapter rod from the standard curtain rod is pivotally coupled at one end thereof to the adapter rod and has means carried at the other end for coupling to the standard curtain rod to thereby prevent downward movement of the adapter rod when mounted in its operative position. When in its storage position, the adapter rod will hang by the coupling means from the curtain rod and may be concealed behind the shower curtain.
