Abstract: A shower bar is provided for secure but removable attachment to a surface, such as a wall in a shower or bath area. The shower bar has a support bar connected to a pair of mechanically activated suction cup assemblies and a pivotal activator arm that operatively engages the suction cup assemblies to hold the shower bar to the surface of the wall or release it therefrom. The support bar has a channel that receives the activator arm therein when the shower bar is secured against the surface. Each of the suction cup assemblies has a cup housing that seals against a suction member to define a suction chamber in the cup housing. Pivot pins at the ends of the activator arm connect to activation rods that operatively engage the cup housing against the suction member. An arm release hole is provided to release the shower bar from the surface.
