Patent ID: 7512997

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a pair of mounting brackets to mount to one or more shower walls, wherein the mounting brackets have a vertical groove formed therein having a rectangular cross section, wherein the grooves are at an angle extending outwards from a straight line between the mounting brackets mounted to the one or more shower walls, wherein each mounting bracket includes a mounting face to abut the shower wall, a front face extending substantially perpendicular from the mounting face, a receiving face extending substantially perpendicular from the front face so as to be substantially parallel to the mounting face, wherein the receiving face is shorter than the mounting face, and a inner face extending between the receiving face and the mounting face, wherein the receiving face has the vertical groove formed therein extending from the receiving face toward the mounting face at an angle, wherein the angle is away from the front face, and wherein the inner face has holes formed therein that extend through the mounting surface to accept screws for mounting the mounting brackets to the shower walls; and a bar having a rectangular cross section that is less than the rectangular cross section of the grooves, wherein the bar has a continuous angle of curvature formed therein, wherein the bar is made of a flexible material that enables the bar to be flexed including along the angle of curvature, wherein the bar is to be inserted in the groove with the bar curving outward from the straight line between the mounting brackets, wherein the angle of curvature within the groove provides a tension that supports the bar in a substantially vertical plane to a shower floor, and wherein the vertical groove keeps the bar from twisting.
