ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a vertically drawn shower curtain having a raised position and a lowered position and being movable therebetween, for preventing water from escaping from a shower enclosure. The shower curtain is composed of waterproof panels, flexible hanging straps, clamps, and drawstrings. In the lowered position, the hanging straps support the panels in an inwardly overlapping relationship. The hanging straps are attached to the upper edge of each panel, leaving the lower edge free to rotate inwardly. The hanging straps have guides for the drawstrings. The drawstrings are attached to the lowest panel, are lead through the guides, and then through an eyelet on the clamp. All drawstrings terminate in a single pull ring. In the raised position, the panels are supported in a substantially nested relationship, by the combination of the drawstrings and clamps. The shower curtain may also include a valence panel, supported by the clamps, to hide the workings of the drawstrings and the clamps. The panels may also include deformable stiffening members along the upper edges of the panels.
