ABSTRACT:
A device for use with and for controlling the position of a shower curtain of the type which may be mounted on a rod above the outside rim of a bathtub. Such shower curtains are usually suspended by curtain hooks slidable along the rod so that the curtain can be pulled between an open position adjacent one end of the bathtub to a closed position and thereby close off a shower area. The device of the present invention functions to hold the curtain away from the user of the shower and to further encourage the lower edge of the curtain to remain in engagement with the inside of the side wall of the tub below the outside rim thereof and thereby prevents cold air form entering the shower area. The device includes a downwardly extending section depending from a mounting section which is supported on the curtain rod, the downwardly extending section having a curtain engaging lower end. The lower end of the downwardly extending section is biased outwardly relative to the shower area by a portion attached to the mounting section and which causes the mounting section to pivot on the rod in a direction to swing the downwardly extending section in an outward direction. The portion attached to the mounting section can be in the form of an elongated section which extends inwardly from the mounting section and thus forms a weight causing the mounting section to pivot on the rod.
