Abstract
Apparatus and method for an improved shower appurtenance for bracing a shower curtain away from a user including a hanger clip configured for removable connection with a shower curtain rod and a base rod with a first end and a second end where the first end is connected with the hanger clip. A base plate assembly is connected to the second end of the base rod and an arm or a pair or arms movably connected with the base plate such that the arm or the pair of arms are moveable from an undeployed position to a deployed position where the undeployed position is approximately parallel to the base rod and the deployed position is approximately perpendicular to the base rod.

An apparatus for bracing a shower curtain away from a user in a shower, the shower having a shower curtain rod, comprising:
- (a) a hanger clip configured for removable connection with the shower curtain rod;
- (b) a base rod with a first end and a second end wherein the first end is connected with said hanger clip;
- (c) a base plate assembly connected to said second end of said base rod;
- (d) an arm movably connected with said base plate assembly;
- and
- (e) said base plate assembly including a socket and a circular disk for allowing rotation of said arm wherein said arm is rotatable from an undeployed vertical position to a deployed position wherein said deployed position is approximately perpendicular to said base rod.
A method for bracing a shower curtain away from a user in a shower, the shower having a shower curtain rod, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a hanger clip configured for removable connection with the shower curtain rod;
- (b) removably connecting a first end of a base rod with the hanger clip;
- (c) connecting a base plate assembly with a second end of the base rod;
- and
- (d) movably connecting an arm with the base plate assembly having a socket and a circular disk so that the arm is rotatable in said baseplate assembly from an undeployed vertical position to a deployed position, wherein the deployed position is approximately perpendicular to the base rod.
An apparatus for bracing a shower curtain away from a user in a shower, the shower having a shower curtain rod, comprising:
- (a) a hanger clip configured for removable connection with the shower curtain rod;
- (b) a base rod with a first end and a second end wherein the first end is connected with said hanger clip;
- (c) a base plate assembly connected to said second end of said base rod;
- (d) an arm movably connected with said base plate assembly, wherein said arm is moveable from an undeployed position to a deployed position wherein said deployed position is approximately perpendicular to said base rod;
- and
- (e) wherein said base plate assembly further comprises a base plate clip containing a plurality of first receptacles therein for receiving said base rod comprising a plurality of first arm segments, and a second receptacle disposed on an end of said plurality of first receptacles, a rotation clip having a plurality of second receptacles therein for receiving a plurality of second arm segments and a circular disk thereon, wherein said circular disk is insertable into and removable from said second receptacle, wherein said second arm segments are moveable from an undeployed position to a deployed position wherein said deployed position is approximately perpendicular to said base rod.
A method for bracing a shower curtain away from a user in a shower, the shower having a shower curtain rod, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a hanger clip configured for removable connection with the shower curtain rod;
- (b) removably connecting a first end of a base rod with the hanger clip;
- (c) connecting a base plate assembly with a second end of the base rod;
- (d) movably connecting an arm with the base plate assembly so that the arm is moveable from an undeployed position to a deployed position, wherein the deployed position is approximately perpendicular to the base rod;
- and
- (e) wherein the base plate assembly comprises a base plate clip containing a plurality of first receptacles therein for receiving said base rod comprising a plurality of first arm segments, a second receptacle disposed on an end of the plurality of first receptacles, a rotation clip having a plurality of second receptacles therein for receiving a plurality of second arm segments and a circular disk thereon, wherein the circular disk is insertable into and removable from the second receptacle, wherein the second arm segments are moveable from an undeployed position to a deployed position wherein the deployed position is approximately perpendicular to the base rod.
