Abstract
A rotating shower rod is provided to change the location of a curved shower rod between one position projecting outward from shower or bathtub enclosure to a second position projecting inward to the enclosure. Surface mounts provide two axes of rotation for the shower rod. The shower rod includes two tubes that telescopically extend and retract relative to one another.
Claims20
A rotatable shower rod system comprising:
- a first mounting assembly;
- a second mounting assembly;
- a curved shower rod extending between the first mounting assembly and the second mounting assembly;
- each of the first and second mounting assemblies including a stationary plate, a rotational plate, and a plug for insertion into the rod,
- the stationary plate including a stationary base having at least one stop that limits rotation of the rotational plate, and
- the rotational plate including a rotational base that engages the stationary base and an attachment projection extending axially from the rotational base, the attachment projection including a base portion projecting axially from the rotational base and a tab portion projecting axially from the base portion to engage the plug, the base portion defining at least one flange extending laterally from a first side or a second side of the tab portion.

A rotatable shower rod system comprising:
- a curved shower rod;
- a first mounting assembly and a second mounting assembly that mount the curved shower rod to a surface;
- each of the first mounting assembly and the second mounting assembly including a stationary plate, a rotational plate, and a removable cover, the removable cover having an annular portion that directly overlays an entire perimeter of the rotational plate in an axial direction such that there is no structure between the annular portion and the entire perimeter of the rotational plate in the axial direction, and the cover further including an opening, a portion of the rotational plate projecting outwardly from the cover through the opening.
A rotatable shower rod system comprising:
- a first mounting assembly;
- a second mounting assembly;
- a curved shower rod extending between the first mounting assembly and the second mounting assembly;
- each of the first and second mounting assemblies including a stationary component and a rotational component,
- the stationary component including a stationary base, a first perimeter wall projecting about the stationary base and defining a recess, a first stop and a second stop projecting axially from the stationary base within the recess to limit rotation of the rotational component relative to the stationary component, and a boss projecting from a central portion of the stationary base within the recess, and
- the rotational component including an annular rotational base positioned about the boss and the annular rotational base positioned entirely radially inward of the first stop and the second stop, a flange extending from the annular rotational base positioned to selectively engage the first stop or the second stop.
