Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a modular shower partition that is capable of being connected with different types and functions of shower partition.

Description of the Prior Art

Conventional shower partition includes a door pulling type, a door folding type, and a rotating door type of shower partitions, wherein the door-pulling and the door-folding shower partitions have to be provided with an upper rail and a lower rail and rollers to slide on the upper and the lower rails, thus opening and closing the door. However, such a rail and roller stricture is complicated to jam an object therein, and a user is easy to injure as crashing the rail accidentally.
Furthermore, the door-rotating shower partition is not designed in a modularization manner to accelerate assembly time, and the type and the function of the door-rotating shower partition are limited that can not satisfy different requirements.
Even though some modular shower partitions have been developed, but only simple rotary door and shield panel are provided, accordingly different requirements can not be solved. Besides, such a modular shower partition is produced at a high mold and material cost.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
