Claim:
1. A curved shower rod attachment, comprising: a mounting plate adapted and configured for attachment to a surface; and a housing securable to the mounting plate and including a first sidewall, a second sidewall spaced from the first sidewall and extending substantially parallel to the first sidewall longitudinally about the housing, a top wall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall and including a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, an opening extending between the first surface and the second surface and a protrusion extending at an angle along an axis from the top wall, encompassing the opening in the top wall and including a body that is delimited by a first end and a second end and having an opening extending along the axis, between the first end and the second end of the protrusion, that is configured to receive a shower rod, wherein at least the first end of the protrusion curves outwardly from the axis such that the opening in the protrusion is larger at the first end, which extends from the top wall, than the second end, which is spaced from the top wall, allowing the shower rod to be received within the opening in the protrusion and pivot within the opening such that the shower rod and the housing intersect and interlock at diverging angles.
