Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to showers, in particular to shower doors and screens. In the installation of showers and shower areas, it is conventional to provide a shower screen to prevent egress of water. Typically, such screens are in the form of a simple curtain hung from a rod or pole, or may be a glass or plastics panel. Shower areas vary considerably in their dimensions. Whilst shower curtains are readily adaptable to provide protection for a range of sizes, including by means of providing a plurality of curtains, the same is not the case with panel shower screens. The present invention seeks to address this problem. We describe a shower screen comprising first and second, mutually slidable, panels, each panel including respective mounting means adapted to secure the respective panel to a surface and wherein at least said first mounting means further includes a pivotally-mounted panel, forming a door. The first mounting means comprises an elongate member securable to a horizontal surface. The shower screen may include one or more panels, intermediate the first and second panels. <IMAGE>
