Shower curtain ring assembly

Abstract

A shower curtain assembly includes a shower curtain having multiple slits defined between the through holes and the top edge of the shower curtain. Multiple ring units are connected to the shower curtain and located corresponding to the connection areas respectively. Each ring unit includes a first part and a second part. The first part is a ring-shaped part with a gap defined radially therethrough and the gap is located corresponding to the slit. The second part is a substantially horseshoe-shaped part having a first end and a second end. The first end is bent to form a first closing portion and the second end is bent to form a second closing portion which is overlapped on the first closing portion so as to close the second passing hole. A shower rod separates the slits, the gaps and the overlapped closing portions when installed to the shower curtain.

1 . A shower curtain assembly comprising:
 a shower curtain having a first side and a second side, a plurality of connection areas defined in the shower curtain and located close to a top edge of the shower curtain, each connection area including a through hole and a slit communicating between the through hole and the top edge of the shower curtain;   a plurality of ring units connected to the shower curtain and located corresponding to the connection areas respectively, each ring unit including a first part and a second part, the first part being a ring-shaped part and including a gap defined radially therethrough, the first part connected to the first side of the shower curtain and the gap located corresponding to the slit corresponding thereto, a first passing hole defined through the first part and located in communication with the through hole corresponding thereto, the second part connected to the second side of the shower curtain and being a substantially horseshoe-shaped part having a first end and a second end, the second part including a second passing hole which is located in communication with the through hole and the first passing hole corresponding thereto, the first end being bent to form a first closing portion and the second end being bent to form a second closing portion which is overlapped on the first closing portion so as to close the second passing hole, the first and second closing portions located corresponding to the slit corresponding thereto, and   a shower rod passing through the first and second passing holes and the through holes, the first and second closing portions being separated from each other, when the shower rod passes between the first and second ends, the gaps and the slits being widened when the shower rod passes through the gaps and the slits.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second ends are bent toward opposite directions. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the connection areas includes multiple apertures defined through the shower curtain and the apertures are located in a circular form, the through hole is located at the center of the apertures, each of the first parts includes a plurality of protrusions extending from a side thereof and the protrusions extend through the apertures and are securely engaged with reception holes defined in the second part. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second ends of each of the second parts are located below the top edge of the shower curtain.
