Abstract
A curtain corner support which is slidably supported on a curtain rod which spans an opening defined between vertical walls of an enclosure. The corner support positions an end portion of a curtain so that it is adjacent to one of the enclosure walls to prevent water, spray and/or light from escaping around the edges of the enclosure. The corner support consists of a body member which is supported by the curtain rod, a beam cantilevered from the body member which supports the end portion of the curtain, and a device for transferring the moment generated by the end portion of the curtain and the beam to the curtain rod to prevent the body member from rotating about the curtain rod. Wall attachments are affixed to at least one curtain rod end for transferring the torque from the curtain rod to at least one of the vertical walls of the enclosure to maintain the top edge of the curtain in an approximately horizontal plane.
