Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent impairment of appearance in a room by fastening the base end of a synthetic resin film on a winding shaft in a housing box to be rolled into the housing box so that a curtain is not exposed in a bath room when a shower is not used. CONSTITUTION:A curtain rail 2 is mounted on a ceiling 14 of a bath room 1 having a washing space 11 successively arranged with a bathtub 12, along a front rim of the bathtub 12, and a support rod 3 is hung movably. A hook 31 is mounted almost at the center of the support rod 3 and is matted with a roughly U-shaped ring 15 for fixing mounted on a side wall 13. Then, the base end of a synthetic resin film 4 with its free end fastened on the support rod 3 is fastened on a winding shaft in a housing box 5. When a shower is used, the synthetic resin film 4 is pulled out of the housing box 5 and the hook 31 is mated with the ring 15 for fixing to mount. When the shower is not used, the synthetic resin film 4 is rolled into the housing box 5 by a stored force of a hair spring to house thereof.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

This invention relates to shower curtains.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Shower curtains in which a synthetic resin film is movably suspended on a curtain rail are known, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-79096.

It is preferable that the opaque material is a pale color such as beige.

In the present invention, the material of the storage box is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include hard synthetic resin and synthetic resin coated metal. The material of the take-up shaft is not particularly limited as long as it is a metal that is resistant to rust, and examples thereof include stainless steel and aluminum. One end of the hairspring is fixed to the take-up shaft and the base end is fixed to the storage box. , It should be possible to use the beard mainspring's original shape restoration function to store the wound.

In the present invention, the material of the supporting rod to which the free end of the synthetic resin film is fixed is not particularly limited as long as it is highly rigid, and for example, a hard synthetic resin such as low density polyethylene or polypropylene, Examples thereof include synthetic resin-coated metals and the like. Further, the shape is not particularly limited, for example,
A hollow cylindrical body such as a cylindrical shape or a rectangular tube shape is preferable.

In the present invention, the material of the curtain rail on which the support rod is movably suspended is not particularly limited.

EXAMPLES Next, examples of the shower curtain of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a usage state of an example of the shower curtain of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the shower curtain of FIG.

In the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a bathroom in which a washing room 11 and a bathtub 12 are connected to each other.
A side wall 13 is erected on the outer peripheral edge of the bathtub 12 and a ceiling 14 is installed on the upper end of the side wall 13.

A curtain rail 2 is screwed to the ceiling 14 along the front edge of the bathtub 12, and a support rod 3 is movably suspended from the curtain rail 2. A hook 31 is attached to the center of the surface of the support rod 3 that faces away from the storage box 5, and the hook 31 is attached to the side wall 13 and has a substantially U-shaped fixing ring.
15 can be engaged.

Reference numeral 4 is a beige opaque synthetic resin film, the base end of which is fixed to the winding shaft 6 in the storage box 5, and the free end of which is fixed to the support rod 3. When the shower is used, the winding shaft 6 which is rotated clockwise by pulling out the synthetic resin film 4 from the storage box 5 is rotated and restored counterclockwise by a hairspring not shown. The synthetic resin film 4 is wound and stored in the storage box 5 when the hook 31 is separated from the fixing ring 15.

[0015]

Since the shower curtain of the present invention is constructed as described above, the curtain is not exposed in the bathroom when the shower is not used, and the aesthetics of the room is not spoiled.
