Claims13
A retracting curtain assembly being configured to automatically extend and retract in a shower, said assembly comprising:
- a housing being configured to extend between walls of a shower, said housing including a tube having a first end, a second end and an outer wall, said outer wall having a slot extending into an interior of said tube, said slot extending between said first end and said second end, said slot having a bounding edge;
- a motion unit being positioned in said housing, said motion unit being configured to have a shower curtain coupled to said motion unit thereby facilitating said motion unit to urge the shower curtain between a closed position and an open position;
- and
- a pair of disks, each of said disks having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface of each disk being coupled to an associated one of said first end and said second end, said second surface of each disk being configured to frictionally engage an associated one of the walls in the shower.
A retracting curtain assembly being configured to automatically extend and retract in a shower, said assembly comprising:
- a housing being configured to extend between walls of a shower, said housing including a tube having a first end, a second end and an outer wall, said outer wall having a slot extending into an interior of said tube, said slot extending between said first end and said second end, said slot having a bounding edge;
- and
- a motion unit being positioned in said housing, said motion unit being configured to have a shower curtain coupled to said motion unit thereby facilitating said motion unit to urge the shower curtain between a closed position and an open position, said motion unit comprises a box being coupled to said outer wall of said tube, said box being aligned with said second end.
A retracting curtain assembly being configured to automatically extend and retract in a shower, said assembly comprising:
- a housing being configured to extend between walls of a shower, said housing including a tube having a first end, a second end and an outer wall, said outer wall having a slot extending into an interior of said tube, said slot extending between said first end and said second end, said slot having a bounding edge;
- a motion unit being positioned in said housing, said motion unit being configured to have a shower curtain coupled to said motion unit thereby facilitating said motion unit to urge the shower curtain between a closed position and an open position;
- and
- a plurality of couplers, each of said couplers being slidably positioned within said slot in said tube such that each of said couplers is slidable between said first end and said second end of said tube, each of said couplers being configured to have a shower curtain coupled thereto, wherein each of said couplers comprises:
- a first head;
- a second head;
- and
- a stem extending between said first head and said second head, said first head being spaced from said second head to define a space between said first head and said second head, said bounding edge of said slot being positioned in said space, said first head being positioned within said tube, said second head being positioned outside of said tube.
