Abstract
A shower curtain assembly is disclosed that comprises a substantially horizontal shower curtain rod, a shower curtain having an upper edge, and a plurality of shower curtain rings. Each ring includes (1) a body member that encircles the shower curtain rod, the body member having first and second ends, (2) a first end locking member which is attached to the first end of the body member and includes a male locking protrusion, and (3) a second end locking member which is attached to the second end of the body member and includes a female locking receptacle, the female locking receptacle being adapted to receive and hold the male locking protrusion. The upper edge of the shower curtain is held between the male locking protrusion and the female locking receptacle of each shower curtain ring, whereby the curtain is deformed and held between the male locking protrusion and the female locking receptacle without any part of the shower curtain ring passing through the shower curtain. This arrangement decreases the chance that the curtain will be torn by the rings, as compared to prior shower curtain assemblies.
