Abstract
A disposable shower curtain including a holder having a mandrel with inner and outer telescoping segments normally expanded by a spring. Stationary feet, one carried by each of the telescoping segments, bears against the opposed walls of a conventional shower stall and rotatably support the mandrel. A roll of coiled sheet material is carried by the mandrel. A shield supported by a bracket at either end thereof includes a longitudinally extending braking panel.

A disposable shower curtain device comprising:
- a rotatable mandrel having;
- a first substantially cylindrical segment,
- a second substantially cylindrical segment configured to receive said first segment, and
- a mandrel spring received by said second segment and normally expanding said first segment therefrom,
- stationary feet;
- a bushing opening in each of said stationary feet;
- bushing bearings, one received by each of said bushing openings;
- a knob extending from each end of said mandrel and received by a bushing bearing;
- a roll of coiled sheet material supported by said mandrel;
- and
- a shield having;
- a planar panel,
- a bracket extending perpendicularly downward from each end of said planar panel,
- a braking panel depending from an edge of said planar panel, between said brackets,
- a longitudinally extending hinge coupling said braking panel to said planar panel, and
- biasing means for biasing said braking panel in relation to said planar panel.
