  • Method and apparatus for elastic shower splash guard
    Patent number: 5978985
    Abstract: A splash guard for installation at the nominally orthogonal junction between a bath tub upper surface and an adjacent wall has two legs for attachment to the nominally orthogonal surfaces joined by a flexibly curved or convoluted web that flexes to adjust the angle between the legs, so as to allow them to be attached to surfaces that are set at greater or less than 90.degree.. The flexible material required for this angular accommodation also serves to cushion impact against the body in falling accidents where the splash guard is involved.
