Shower cover

Abstract

A partial roof cover to place over a shower stall to prevent drafts from entering the shower, which has proper drainage channels and elevated spacers around a bottom edge that allow controlled airflow.

1 . A shower cover device to prevent cold drafts from entering a shower and control temperature in a shower stall, the device comprising: 
 a covering structure over a portion of a top opening of a shower stall, the covering structure comprising a sloping surface having a drip edge at a low point of the sloping surface to drain water off of the covering structure, at least a pair of bottom edges adapted to fit on a mating pair of top edges of a shower stall, and a series of mounting elements around the bottom edges of the covering structure resting on a top of a shower stall, the mounting elements adapted for elevating the covering structure above a pair of top edges of a shower stall allowing a controlled flow of air between a pair of top edges of a shower stall and the covering structure to release steam and maintain a desirable temperature in a shower stall.    
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the mounting elements comprise protruding spacers attached to the bottom edges of the covering structure extending below the covering structure so that the protruding spacers rest on adjacent top edges on two sides of a shower stall elevating the bottom edges of the covering structure above a pair of adjacent top edges of a shower stall admitting air between the bottom edges of the covering structure and a pair of adjacent top edges of a shower stall.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 2  wherein at least the bottom edges are formed by a molding process and the protruding spacers are protrusions formed in the molding process extending downwardly from the bottom edges.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the protruding spacers comprise rubberized spacers attached to the bottom edges of the covering structure.  
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 2  wherein each of the bottom edges of the covering structure extend horizontally beyond an outside surface of a shower stall and further comprising an outside flange extending vertically downward from each of the bottom edges of the covering structure so that the outside flange is spaced apart from an outside surface of a shower stall leaving an air passage therebetween.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the drip edge comprises a sloping channel formed in the covering structure within a perimeter of a shower stall, the channel adapted for admitting water to flow therein so that the water drips into a shower stall.  
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the covering structure comprises a half dome shape structure over a half of the shower stall with two lower side edges conforming to two sides of a top edge of a shower stall.  
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 7  wherein the half dome shape structure is formed of a molded waterproof synthetic material.  
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the covering structure comprises a half pyramid shape structure over a half of the shower stall with two lower side edges conforming to two sides of a top edge of a shower stall.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 9  wherein the half pyramid shape structure is formed of flat plates of waterproof rigid material supported by a frame structure.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 10  wherein the flat plates of material are a synthetic material.  
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 10  wherein the flat plates of material are glass.
