1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a shower curtain mounting device, more particular to a shower curtain mounting device having a pair of wall brackets and a pair of joints pivoted respectively to the wall brackets.
2. Description of the Related Art
As shown in
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a shower curtain mounting device that can overcome the aforesaid drawbacks associated with the prior art.
Accordingly, a shower curtain mounting device of the present invention comprises: a pair of wall brackets; a pair of joints, each of which is pivoted and is rotatable about an axis relative to a respective one of the wall brackets and each of which has a tubular rod connecting part; and a shower curtain rod extending in a transverse direction relative to the axis into the rod connecting parts of the joints.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Referring to
In this embodiment, each of the wall brackets 21 includes a semi-spherical body 213 protruding axially relative to the axis (Y) therefrom as shown in
As shown in
In the preferred embodiment, the rod connecting part 222 of each of the joints 22 is formed with a screw hole 25′, and is provided with a fastening screw 25 extending into and through the screw hole 25′ to abut against the shower curtain rod 13.
Each of the wall brackets 21 further includes a base 211. The semi-spherical body 213 protrudes axially from the base 211. The bracket connecting part 221 of each of the joints 22 has an end face 223. The shower curtain mounting device 2 further includes a pair of gaskets 26, each of which is sandwiched between the base 211 of a respective one of the wall brackets 21 and the end face 223 of the bracket connecting part 221 of the respective one of joints 22. Preferably, the base 211 of each of the wall brackets 21 and each of the joints 22 are L-shaped as shown in
In the preferred embodiment, each of the wall brackets 21 is formed with two screw holes 23′ in the base 211 and is provided with two screws 23 extending into and through the screw holes 23′ so as to fasten the wall brackets 21 to the opposite walls 15.
As shown in
With the inclusion of the joints 22, that can rotate relative to the wall brackets 21, in the shower curtain mounting device 2 of this invention, the aforesaid drawbacks associated with the prior art can be alleviated.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
