Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a shower curtain.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shower curtains used in bathrooms, shower rooms, and the like of general households, hotels, and the like, shower curtains mainly composed of a translucent synthetic resin, for example, a material such as vinyl, PVC, PEVA, or polyester are relatively known. I have. This is because translucent materials are more suitable for blindfolding than transparent materials, and are easier to pass through lighting such as ceiling lighting than opaque materials.

In the conventional shower curtain, when the shower equipment is used, in many cases, the shower curtain is inserted or wrapped inside the bathtub and used. This is because the shower curtain needs to reach the inside of the bathtub in order to prevent concentrated irradiation and scattering of the shower.

However, in this case, a problem has been pointed out that a shower curtain is likely to wind around a user's body due to a strong vertical water flow generated by a shower at the time of use, and a flow of an air flow accompanying the strong water flow. In particular, this tendency is remarkable for shower curtains made of thin and lightweight materials.

[0005] This is a consequence of the strong wind of the shower going from top to bottom under the narrow space conditions of a more limited bathtub or shower room in a bathroom space of limited volume. Also, the shower curtain made of a light material is drawn inside by the flow of air due to the downdraft, which tends to cause phenomena such as clinging to the user's body.

[0006] As experienced persons can understand, many shower curtains are often set in a more limited elongated bathtub in a bathroom space having a limited space, and in many cases, a user stands up and takes a shower. use. At this time, cold or hot water falls from the shower equipment installed on the upper wall of the long end of the bathtub (either the head or the foot in the supine position) and falls onto the user's body. It is easy for air convection to occur in the shower room.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 An object of the present invention is to avoid such convection and other phenomena and the inconvenience and discomfort of the shower user caused by the convection. In order to eliminate such inconvenience and discomfort, in the United States and Europe where shower facilities have been developed, there is an example in which a simple shower door that can be freely opened and closed is provided above a bathtub.

[0008] However, such a simple door for a shower requires a certain amount of installation work and is cumbersome, and it is rather difficult to adapt to the Japanese lifestyle that prefers a bathtub. He was often shunned.

Another solution is to make the entire fabric of the shower curtain thicker, or to install a metal part such as a lead piece at the lower part of the shower curtain to prevent it from being rolled up. Has also been made. However, these methods increase the weight of the entire shower curtain and make it difficult to handle, so that the cost is increased and the comfort in use may be impaired. Not only that, it is also expected that there will be problems such as heavy use and increased burden on the elderly and the disabled.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned various problems at once, and to provide a comfortable use environment of a shower room.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a conventional shower curtain made of a flat material or the like, in which a plurality of hollow cylindrical bodies or square cylinders embedded or integrated in a vertical or horizontal direction at regular intervals are integrated. It is a shower curtain having a shape or a plate.

[0012]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The present invention will be described in more detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a shower curtain according to the present invention in an extended state. FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a plurality of embodiments of the present invention in the extended state. In FIG. 2, 2A shows an example of a cylindrical body, 2B shows an example of an embossed body, and 2C shows an example of a square tubular body. FIG. 3 is a front view showing a state in an extended state of another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a front view showing a further embodiment of the present invention in an extended state. FIG. 4 also shows a state in which both vertical embedding and horizontal embedding are partially used. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a hollow cylindrical body according to still another embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a curtain, reference numeral 2 denotes a hollow cylindrical body or a rectangular cylindrical body embedded in the curtain at a predetermined interval in a vertical direction, and reference numeral 3 denotes an upper part. Reference numeral 4 denotes a lower sealing portion, reference numeral 5 denotes a stop portion of a curtain ring, reference numeral 6 denotes a part capable of opening and closing a space of a hollow cylindrical body or a hollow rectangular cylindrical body, and an article. Each section is configured to be able to store the same. The hollow cylindrical body or the hollow rectangular cylindrical body is sealed by the upper sealing portion and the lower sealing portion. However, the air can be sucked in through the air holes 9 and the plugs 10 to expand the shower curtain, or conversely, can be degassed and contracted.

Instead of the hollow cylindrical body, a plate having a predetermined thickness and a hollow portion may be used.

The tubular body or the plate-like body may be embedded or formed integrally with the entire length or a part of the length of the shower curtain base.

As shown in FIG. 5, by processing a part of the hollow cylindrical body so as to be openable and closable, a rod-shaped radio that can be housed therein, a fragrance generating device or container, and a light emitting device. A body or a luminous body can also be incorporated.

The hollow cylindrical body portion is provided with an air hole 9 at an appropriate portion thereof and a plug 10 for sealing the hole 9 so that air can be introduced when used and deaerated when not used. It can also be rolled up or folded into small pieces for storage, transport or storage.

[0018]

[Effect of the invention]

 As is clear from the above description, the effects of the present invention are as follows. According to the present invention, when used in a shower room, it is possible to prevent the shower curtain from being rolled up and clinging to the user's body caused by the air current generated by the shower.

[0019] Furthermore, the portion where the hollow cylindrical body is embedded or integrated is stopped up to the center of the curtain fabric, and the conventional curtain fabric material portion is left as it is on one or both of the upper and lower portions, so that the flat portion can be formed. Can be easily cut to a desired length or width to improve usability. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the curtain of the present invention is a conventional type of curtain by adjusting the amount of material used for the material of the cylindrical body, the square tubular body and the plate-like body. The weight can be increased by about 20% to 30% in the same extended state as that of the curtain. As a result, curling of the curtain can be avoided.

A completely different application effect of the present invention is that the shower curtain of the present invention can be used as it is as a partition sheet for a room by using the shower curtain as it is. In other words, the present invention has a constant mass as a whole and can be used not only as a shower curtain but also as a partition in a room in various forms as seen in the embodiment in which the phosphor is embedded. is there.
