Shower curtains and shower curtain liners routinely get sucked into the occupant of a showering space due to the “shower-curtain effect,” which is the phenomenon in which a shower curtain or shower curtain liner gets drawn inward with a running shower. The present invention counteracts the shower curtain effect. In certain an embodiments of the invention, an outside unit and inside unit incorporate attachment mechanisms to draw both units into each other while trapping the shower curtain between both units. Attached to the outside unit of certain embodiments of the invention is a connector that also attaches a bottom unit. The bottom unit of certain embodiments of the present invention incorporates weight sufficient to utilize gravity to pull the attached shower curtain downward. The bottom unit places pressure on the external side of a bathtub to additionally force the entire apparatus and shower curtain outward.

In some implementations, a hookless shower curtain with seamless snap-on liner (“seamless liner shower curtain”) comprises a curtain and an attachable (e.g., snap-on) liner. In some implementations, a method of using the seamless liner shower curtain comprises attaching the liner to the curtain and using the seamless liner shower curtain as a shower curtain.

The utility surface taut anchor system fulfills the need space enclosed by material whose surface area may sag causing unease or lack of a certain comfort or streamline. The enclosing/disclosing material may become distorted by a dynamic air or atmospheric pressure or certain/uncertain force. The utility surface taut anchor system simply eliminates this distorting or irregular behavior by exacting a precise force at key points on the material or surface or structure causing or resulting in a taut and or firm surface area of the material. An iteration in the application of the said apparatus would be, a shower curtain: . . . the result of a sudden air draft or change in atmospheric pressure or certain force on a shower curtain enclosing a bath-tub while an individual is in shower tub or taking a shower in the enclosed space.

A bracket system for mounting a support rod, such as a closet rod, a shower curtain rod, a towel bar, or the like, between two support surfaces. The bracket system includes a bracket member and a cover member. The bracket member includes a base portion and a rod support member. The rod support member includes a support portion that supports the support rod and a spring portion that facilitates coupling of the bracket member to the cover member. The spring portion is compressed or deformed and then the cover member is slid over the spring portion. Upon release of the compression on the spring portion, the spring portion exerts an outward restoring force onto the cover member to couple the cover member to the bracket member. The support rod is supported by the support portion of the rod support member and extends through an opening in the cover member.

The present disclosure relates generally to molded rod mounts for shower/bathing systems. In particular, the present disclosure provides at least one molded rod mount having a first wall body including a first recess configured to receive a first end of a rod. The first recess includes an axis perpendicular to the first wall body, a first curved portion having a first depth and a first radius of curvature relative to the axis, and a first rear portion adjacent to the first curved portion. A second recess is disposed opposite the first recess on a second wall body opposite the first wall body.
