Shower and tub caddy enclosure

Abstract

An apparatus for enclosing existing corner shelves of a shower stall or a bath unit. The apparatus comprises a pair of mounting members that are secured to adjacent wall surfaces closely adjacent such corner shelves. The mounting members are disposed vertically on such adjacent walls. There are a pair or track members secured to the pair of mounting members, a first one of the pair of track members secured to a top portion of each of the pair of mounting members and a second one of the pair of track members secured to a bottom portion of each of the pair of mounting member. Further, there is a folding enclosure that is engageable on a bottom end with the second one of the pair of track members and on an upper end engageable with the first one of the pair of track members. The folding enclosure having each of a predetermined shape and a predetermined size and is formed of a predetermined material. The folding enclosure covers such shelves. The fold being similar to accordion pleats.
