(54) | Shower screens |
(57) A curved shower screen (32, 34) for a reverse curvature bath (10) is provided and
comprises at least two panels (32, 34) which are pivotally interconnected about an
upright axis (36) when the screen is in use, the curving of the screen panels being
asymmetric follow the curvature of the bath (10) and to enable at least one panel
to be folded neatly into the concavity of the curvature of at least one other panel,
and the panels (32, 34) in this condition being adapted to be hinged to an out of
use position extending transversely of the bath (10) similar to the conventional arrangement. The advantages are that the screen can be unfolded to provide a shower screen which in use extends along the top edge of the bath to a greater extent than the conventional one which is limited to the width of the bath whilst following the reverse curvature of the bath, and yet when folded to a stowed position, leaves access to the bath taps, which the conventional one does not. |
