  • Patent number: 4088174
    Abstract: A simplified apparatus to retain and guide the lower edge of a conventional shower curtain in relation to the inner surface of a shower or bathtub enclosure, consisting of a flexible, rectangularly-shaped, flat, elongated C-shaped track, having a T-shaped guide channel running throughout its entire length, which serves to both guide and mount discrete curtain anchor means attached at spaced intervals to the lower edge of a conventional shower curtain. The shower curtain anchor means consists of circular snap-apart structures, the curtain anchor disc body and disc cover, which are attached to the lower edge of the shower curtain, with a semi-rigid anchor shaft connecting to the anchor disks through a ball joint, and to a circular disc-like track slide, with the track slide means riding in the central guide channel of the C-shaped guide channel track, as the shower curtain is opened or closed.
