Definitions

• the present invention relates to a removable device for ballasting without perforating a shower curtain, so that the curtain remains in place vertically and does not stick to the person taking his shower.
• the new technical solution provided here is economical and does not require replacing its shower curtain.
• the device is universal, it fits on any curtain.
• a portion of the curtain (4), followed by 2 nd part of elongate shape (3) fixes the device to the curtain (4) by putting across the orifice ( 2) the 2nd member (3) when it has been fully inserted. Indeed, its length greater than the diameter of the orifice (2) prevents it from coming out as well as the curtain (4).
• this device is duplicated over the entire width of the curtain (4) to obtain a sufficient and homogeneous ballast.
• Figures fig.l; fig.2; fig.3; fig.4; Fig. 5 on page 1/1 illustrate the different steps of mounting the device.
• the device is very simple, it consists of only 2 parts:
• the era the room is one that will be the ballast.
• This piece will be the era called the "hung" (1) in this document. It is characterized by an orifice (2), and may be in the form of a washer (such as a tool washer that is used with a nut and a screw). A large number of shapes with an orifice would be suitable and it is not possible to list them all. But the advantage of opting for a shape like that of the washer avoids angles and thus any risk of tearing the curtain (4).
• a flat and thin form fits more easily and traps better the curtain (4) pinching on a larger surface cf. fig.4.
• a central orifice (2) allows him to have a homogeneous distribution of the mass, the ballast does not turn on itself under the effect of its weight when installed on the curtain (4).
• ballast Since this part has the function of ballast, it would be wise to manufacture it in a dense material such as a metal or an alloy (preferably stainless).
• 2 SRUEI piece is one that will allow to fix the hanging (1) to the curtain (4).
• the 2nd part will be called “hooking” (3) in this document. It is elongated in shape and may have the shape of a stick (like a stick of "Eskimo ice”). Its dimensions meet the following restrictions:
• the hanging principle looks a bit like the way you button a shirt!
• the technique for attaching this device to the curtain (4) is very simple and takes a few seconds.
• the curtain (4) In a first step cf. fîg.l, the curtain (4) must imperatively be placed between the hook (1) and the hook (3), preferably with the hook (1) located outside curtain (4) and hanging (3). ) located interior curtain side (4).
• This weighting device tares the area of the curtain on which it is installed (targeted). That is why it is appropriate to duplicate the installation of this device (with as many identical devices as necessary) over the entire width of the curtain, to homogenize the ballast and weigh down the curtain to the desired level.
• a staggered arrangement in the lower part of the curtain proves to be particularly effective cf. fig.5.
• the device according to the invention is particularly intended for the weighting of shower curtains and bath. But it is possible to widen its field of use to ballast: - curtains of interior.
